“…Recommendation 1: Collaborative medical treatment may be considered for patients of all ages suspected of having whiplash-associated disorder (WAD) III and WAD IV after a physical examination (GoR/LoE: C/very low). A survey of medical collaboration using TKM and conventional medicine in 2019 indicated that 80.5% of patients with traffic injuries thought that collaboration was necessary to enhance their treatment outcomes [ 15 ]. South Korea has a dualized healthcare system, and a grade C recommendation was assigned based on the clinical experience and survey research conducted by the CPG development committee because TKM doctors can overcome potential limitations when treating patients with traffic injuries by collaborating with conventional medicine doctors.…”

“…Although several survey studies have been performed, no clinical trials have found matching rates of returning to life and work associated with TKM treatment alone and with concurrent treatment with usual care. According to a survey of Korean medicine doctors in 2016 and 2017 and another survey of patients with traffic injuries in 2018, patients (65.7%) and Korean medicine doctors (31.4%) indicated that the severity of the traffic accident was a factor affecting the prognosis for patients [ 10 , 11 , 15 ]. The expert consensus and results of a clinical utility survey led to a GoR of C and a very low LoE.…”

In South Korea, car insurance that includes medical coverage of traditional Korean medicine (TKM) has increased exponentially. Clinical practice guidelines (CPG) for traffic injuries were established in 2016. We aimed to revise and update de novo CPG and distribute the adapted CPG to TKM practitioners and patients. Clinical key questions from previous CPG were identified and updated regarding the grade of recommendation and level of evidence using additional evidence from the literature obtained through a systematic search and the use of the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation methodology. The dissemination and implementation of the updated CPG were conducted at the CPG Center of Korean Medicine. Ultimately, 25 recommendations based on 13 clinical key questions were developed: 2 for diagnosis, 22 for TKM treatments, and 1 for prognosis. After recognition by professional societies and certification by the CPG Center of Korean Medicine, leaflets, card news, and infographics for TKM doctors in South Korea were produced and distributed. These are the only TKM CPG for patients who have experienced traffic injuries. They are expected to contribute to standardized and evidence-based treatment using TKM and similar interventions. Moreover, disseminating the adapted CPG will promote treatment reliability and strengthen insurance coverage.

Objectives This survey study is designed to check the awareness and satisfaction of Korean herbal medicine in patients suffering from acute traffic accidents. Methods From May 1 to 20, 2020, patients who visited the hospital within 7 days after the accident and received prescription of Korean herbal medicine for the first-time symptoms were selected. Survey was conducted 10 days after the first visit to confirm the perception of Korean herbal medicine and expected to be used as a prior study to improve the quality of Korean medicine led by Korean herbal medicine. Results Most patients answered that they were aware of the prescribed Korean herbal medicine's dosage and treatment effects. 65% of the patients said they would like to receive other forms of prescription if possible. Most patients answered that portability is convenient and tastes better than normal. 48% of the respondents said that it was the first to time to take Korean herbal medicine, and 68% said that they were willing to take the Korean herbal medicine later. At the time of the first visit, the health condition assessed using EuroQol visual analogue scale (EQ-VAS) was 46.84, but 10 days after the treatment began, it increased significantly to 61.93. Conclusions The improvement of symptoms and high satisfaction with Korean medicine medical services contributed to the patient's willingness to visit the Korean medicine hospital again and to respond that they were willing to take further medication. EQ-VAS elevation suggests that overall patients' subjective health conditions have improved since treatment.
