ABSTRACT

Objectives The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of herb medication based on ‘Go-bang’ treatment, ‘Huse-bang’ treatment for patients with acute neck pain caused by traffic accidents. Methods We studied 40 patients with acute neck pain after traffic accidents who had admitted to Department of Korean Medicine Rehabilitation, College of Korean Medicine, Daejeon University from November 25, 2018 to November 25, 2019. 20 patients had received Herb Medication Based on ‘Go-bang’ and 20 patients had received herb medication based on ‘Huse-bang’ three times a day. The study was conducted as a retrospective observation study which analyze the patient’s medical records. We used visual analogue scale (VAS) to evaluate pain reduction and neck disability index (NDI) to evaluate function improvement twice (hospitalization day and 5 days later). Statistical analysis was performed using the IBM SPSS statistics 25 program. Result The VAS scores, NDI scores decreased statistically significantly after treatment in all patients. Both ‘Go-bang’ and ‘Huse-bang’groups showed a statistically significant VAS reduction and improvement of NDI on the fifth day of hospitalization. In the ‘Huse-bang’ group, there was a statistically significant improvement of NDI than in the ‘Go-bang’ group.

Further study is needed about the comparison of effectiveness between Go-bang’ and ‘Huse-bang’groups. (J Korean Med Rehabil 2020;30(3):117-127)
