교통사고로 발생한 단순 요통 환자의 신바로 약침과 작약감초탕 약침치료 비교 : 후향적 환자군 관찰 연구

Objectives : This study was designed to compare the effect of Shinbaro pharmacopuncture treatment and Jakyakgamcho Decoction pharmacopunture treatment in patients with low back pain caused by traffic accidents. Methods : This study was conducted on 64 cases of patients with low back pain caused by traffic accidents, who were admitted to Bucheon Jaseng Hospital of Korean Medicine from May 3rd, 2015 to October 31th, 2015. The patients were divided into two groups : Shinbaro pharmacopuncture treatment group and Jakyakgamcho Decoction pharmacopunture treatment group. We measured the efficacy of treatment with a numerical rating scale(NRS) and Oswestry disability index(ODI). The NRS which was checked at pre-tretment and after 4th and 8th treat- ments, and the ODI which was checked at pre-treatment and after 8th treatment were collected and analyzed. Results: In both Shinbaro and Jakyakgamcho Decoction group, NRS and ODI decreased signif- icantly. However there was no statistically significant difference between the groups. At the 4th treatment, However, the Jakyakgamcho Decoction group showed a greater decrease in NRS with a statistically significant difference. Conclusions: In a short period of time, Jakyakgamcho Decoction Pharmacopuncture is more ef- ficient than Shinbaro pharmacopuncture in reducing the pain of patients with low back pain caused by trafficic accidents, but in the end there is no statistically significant difference be- tween the groups.
