ABSTRACT

ObjectivesThis study was designed to compare the effects Gwibi-tang herbal-medi-cation with Danggwisusan herbal-medication for patients with acute cervical and lumbar sprains due to a traffic accident.MethodsThis study was carried out on 119 acute cervical & lumbar sprain patients by traffic accident. We divided these patients into 2 groups. Group A was treated with Gwibi-tang and Group B was treated with Danggwisusan three times a day for three days. Each patient was treated with acupuncture, physical therapy and two types of herb-al-medication. We measured the numerical rating scale (NRS) at two time points : pre-treat-ment (Tx). and post-Tx.Results1. The NRS scores significantly decreased after treatment in all patients. 2. The changed NRS scores of nuchal pain showed a borderline significant difference between Group A and Group B (p=0.067). 3. In sub-group analysis, Gwibi-tang showed a greater ef-fect on NRS scores of lumbago pain in female patients (p=0.068) and patients under 30s (p = 0.054) compared to Danggwisusan.ConclusionsIn this study, both types of herbal-medication; Gwibi-tang and Danggwi-susan were highly effective on acute cervical and lumbar sprain patients. Especially Gwibi-tang (Group A) was more effective than Danggwisusan (Group B) in reducing the ini-tial nuchal pain. Also Gwibi-tang was more effective for lumbago pain in female and patients under 30s. (J Korean Med Rehab 2015;25(3):81-90)
