Abstract

Objectives : This study was designed to compare the effect of Muscle Relaxation Pharmacopuncture(JS5-MR) and Chuna Manual Therapy on the patients with neck pain caused by traffic accidents. Methods : We investigated 39 cases of patients with neck pain cased by traffic accidents, who had been treated from April 2014 to December 2014. We divided patients into two groups : Group A was treated with Muscle Relaxation Pharmacopuncture and Group B was treated with Chuna Manual Therapy. We measured the effectiveness of treatment using Visual Analog Scale(VAS) and Neck Disability Index(NDI) score. Results : In result each group had significant decrease in VAS and NDI after treatment. Group A showed significant decrease as compared to Group B in NDI change. But there was no significant difference in the VAS change between two groups. Conclusions : According to the result of this study, it was suggested that Chuna Manual Therapy and Muscle Relaxation Pharmacopuncture are effective in reducing neck pain casued by traffic accidents. Muscle Relaxation Pharmacopuncture was more effective in reducing NDI. Further well designed prospective study is needed.
