Abstract

Objectives : This study was to evaluate the effects of acupuncture at Sang-Baek, Dong-Si acupuncture point, for the patients with sprain of the wrist pain(snuffbox region). Methods : To randomize, We tossed a coin, so 36 patients were divided into two. Group A of 19 persons was treated with common acupuncture treatment, and Group B of 17 persons was treated with acupuncture of Sang-Baek. We evaluated the treatment effect of each group by Visual Analogue Scale and Modified Mayo Wrist Score. Results : After 7days from the baseline, in VAS, Group A is $4.84{\pm}1.80$ and Group B is $3.35{\pm}2.06(P=0.038)$. In Wrist Score, Group A is $26.47{\pm}18.70$ and Group B is $44.64{\pm}27.76(P=0.034)$ Conclusion : We knew that acupuncture of Sang-Baek is more effective.
