- Abstract
- Objectives : This study is an evaluation of the effectiveness of treatments combined with Korean medical methods, such as relaxative Chuna and Gangchuk herbal medicines, for patients with failed back surgery syndrome.
Methods : In this study, medical records of ten patients who experienced failed back surgery syndrome and participated in intensive Korean medical treatment were reviewed. All patients received relaxative Chuna and acupuncture along with Gangchuk herbal medicines during hospitalization. Numeric rating scale(NRS) in the degree of 0 to 10, pain-free walking distance(PFWD) and oswestry disability index(ODI) were measured before and after treatments.
Results : The patients were hospitalized for an average of 22 days. The average NRS of lumbar pain in all patients decreased from 7.7±1.6 to 3.2±2.2 and the average NRS decline of leg pain was from 7.7±1.7 to 3.2±2.2, both of which indicate statistical significance(p < 0.05). PFWD in all patients increased from 113.3 m to 798.1 m on average. The average ODI in all patients significantly improved from 63.9±7.0 to 43.9±6.9(p < 0.05).
Conclusions : The treatments combined with Korean medical methods for failed back surgery syndrome patients are clinically effective and viable.
