Summary

This study is a double blind, randomized controlled trail. condition/disease: radiating pain in the upper extremity. treatment/intervention: motion style acupuncture treatment

Detailed description

"Motion Style Acupuncture Treatment(MSAT) is a therapeutic technique using acupuncture needle created in Jaseng Hospital. This treatment involves patients with musculoskeletal pain to move the part of their body actively during acupuncture treatment under physicians' observation. This treatment is known to relieve the pain and increase the range of motion(ROM). However, there has been no specific value for the effect of this treatment. So, we conducted a randomized controlled trials to verify the efficacy and safety of MSAT on radiating pain in the upper extremity. From October 2023 to December 2024, we collected 100 inpatients who were suffered from radiating pain in the upper extremity with the numeric rating scale(NRS) over 5 after injury by acute traffic accident(TA). For experimental group(n=50), we conducted MSAT three times(on 2nd, 3rd and 4th day of hospitalization) and other Korean medical treatment. For control group(n=50), just Korean medical treatment except MSAT was conducted. For these two groups, we compared NRS, Visual Analogue Scale(VAS), Neck Disability Index(NDI), C-SPINE MRI, EuroQol 5-Dimension (EQ-5D) and Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC)."
