“…The most common RTA injury is back and neck pain, which accounts for more than half of traffic related injuries. This is presumably due to the collision pattern resulting in sudden overall tension of the cervical vertebrae occurring in the posterior collision, while the combined damage caused by the flexion and the pelvic correction of the seatbelt appears to cause lumbar pain [4].…”

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate electric moxibustion on patients with back pain caused by road traffic accidents. Methods: This was a retrospective study (n = 112) comparing treatment with Korean medicine combined with electric moxibustion (n = 56), and Korean medicine alone (n = 56). Patient gender, age, Numeric Rating Scale (NRS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and EuroQol-5 Dimension (EQ-5D) was recorded for each group at the time of hospital admission. Mean NRS measured weekly, mean ODI and EQ-5D scores were measured 2 weeks post-treatment, and evaluated by paired sample t test. using the Statistical Program for Social Science v. 25.0 for Windows. An independent, two-sample t test was used to test for a significant difference in the decrement of NRS, ODI and increment EQ-5D scores between groups. Results: NRS scores decreased in both groups after 1 week of treatment (electric moxibustion, from 5.13 ± 0.79 to 3.86 ± 0.67; Korean medicine alone, from 5.18 ± 0.92 to 4.30 ± 0.94; both p < 0.001). There was a significantly greater reduction in NRS score in the electric moxibustion group (1.27 ± 0.59) than in the Korean medicine alone group (0.88 ± 0.61; p = 0.001). After 2 weeks of treatment, EQ-5D scores increased significantly in the moxibustion group (0.19 ± 0.12) compared with the Korean medicine alone group (0.13 ± 0.20; p = 0.043). After 2 weeks of treatment, NRS and ODI scores decreased in both groups. EQ-5D increased in both groups. Conclusion: We suggest that electric moxibustion treatment may be effective for reducing early-stage back pain in patients with road traffic accident injuries.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to understand current status of Korean Medicine treatment practice patterns for traffic injuries by web-based survey. Methods The structured questionnaire was distributed by a web based survey to 1,630 potential respondents by email from December 19th in 2016 to February 13th in 2017. All data were statistically analysed. Results The response rate was 79.4%. According to the analysis of the outcome of the survey, 88.0% of the participants felt necessity of the development of Korean medicine clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for traffic injuries. Survey results showed cognitive degree about Korean Medicine CPGs' necessity, individual Korean medicine treatments and requirement for extending insurance coverage for patients with traffic injuries. Conclusions This survey study helps to determine current clinical practice patterns of Korea medicine treatments for traffic injuries. These results further anticipate to provide basic data for CPGs for traffic injuries.
