“…[ 9 ] As aforementioned, ultrasound-guidance has been actively utilized for the treatment of shoulder pathology in medical fields. [ 19 , 20 ] It has also been effectively used in the treatment of lateral epicondylitis, acupuncture, [ 27 ] and pharmacopuncture. [ 28 ] There was also a previous study reporting that acupotomy showed a lower rate of recurrence than that in corticosteroid injections for the treatment of tennis elbow.…”

Ultrasound-guidance is applied during the administration of Korean medicine (KM) interventions to improve the safety and effectiveness of the interventions. Although many case series and reports on the use of ultrasound-guided KM interventions have been reported, no study has investigated the current use of ultrasound-guidance in clinical practice by doctors of Korean medicine (KMDs). An online survey was conducted with questions examining the status of ultrasound-guidance usage among KMDs practicing in various KM clinical settings. Survey responses from 335 KMDs were collected. Ultrasound started to be widely used in the clinical practice of KM since 2022. The primary objective of using ultrasound-guidance was “To improve the accuracy and efficacy” by 54.6%. Ultrasound-guidance was most frequently applied for shoulder joint diseases, and pharmacopuncture was the most frequently used intervention (76.1% and 90.4%, respectively). The respondents reported that effectiveness could be enhanced the most in nerve entrapment syndromes and especially when used in shoulder joints. Over 90% of KMDs responded that the safety and efficacy of treatment, specialty, and patients’ satisfaction were improved after adopting ultrasound-guidance. Moreover, 94.9% of KMDs agreed with the necessity for reimbursement of ultrasound-guidance in KM under national health insurance coverage. Most KMDs responded that they had positive perceptions regarding the clinical use of ultrasound-guidance in KM in terms of treatment effects, safety, and patient satisfaction, and the need for national health insurance coverage of the service. Our findings may provide practice-based evidence for conducting clinical studies.

This retrospective cross-sectional study examined healthcare utilization among 213,025 patients with lateral epicondylitis over a nine-year period using the 2010–2018 Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service (HIRA) data (ICD code M771). Healthcare utilization, types of treatment, and the route of the visit were analyzed with frequency analysis for Western medicine (WM) and Korean medicine (KM). The findings revealed that the number of patients visiting WM and KM facilities for lateral epicondylitis rose every year from 2010 to 2018. Over this period, the age distribution of patients was 45–54 years (39.93%), 55–64 (23.12%), and 35–44 years (21.07%), and there were slightly more female patients (53.66%) than male patients (46.34%). The number of claims for lateral epicondylitis tended to increase with decreasing average monthly temperature; an increased proportion of middle-aged patients (45–64 years) was the most evident. The most frequently performed interventions in WM were subcutaneous or intramuscular injection (injection), deep heat therapy (physical therapy), and spinal peripheral nerve block-axillary nerve block (treatment/operation); the most frequently performed intervention in KM was acupuncture (injection). For pharmacological treatment, analgesics and anti-inflammatory medications were most frequently prescribed. The findings can be useful for health policymakers and as foundational data for clinicians and researchers.
