Abstract

This study attempted to investigate the effects of gold therapy on myofascial pain syndrome(MPS) in the neck, back and shoulder in comparison to stone therapy and verify its availability as an efficient nursing mediator in clinical trials. For this, therapy was given to a total of 20 women in two groups (gold therapy group, stone therapy group: 10 persons each) living in the capital region three times a week (40 min. at a time) for two weeks. In both groups, a statistically significant decrease was found in the following after the treatment: neck circumference, shoulder width, width of the inferior angle of scapula, shoulder thickness and waist circumference (p<0.001). In terms of differences, the gold therapy group was greater than the stone therapy group. In both groups, a statistically significant increase was observed after treatment in the following: cervical lateral bending (right), cervical lateral bending (left), cervical flexion and cervical extension angle (p<0.001). In terms of differences, the gold therapy group was greater than the stone therapy group. In conclusion, this study seems to show that gold therapy is a nursing intervention option having effective fascial relaxation and pain relief for the neck, back and shoulder. Therefore, it would be valuable as safe, non-invasive therapy.

본 연구는 골드테라피가 목, 등, 어깨 부위 근막통증증후군에 미치는 영향을 스톤테라피와 비교 연구하여 임상에서 효율적인 간호 중재로서의 활용 가능성을 검증하고자 실시하였다. 수도권에 거주하는 여성 20명을 골드군(10명), 스톤군(10명)으로 나누어 2주간, 주 3회, 1회 40분 씩, 총 6회 관리를 실시하였다. 골드군과 스톤군 모두 관리후 목둘레, 좌 우 어깨 넓이, 좌 우 견갑골 하각 넓이, 전 후 어깨 두께, 허리둘레가 관리전과 비교하여 통계적으로 유의미한 감소를 보였고(p<0.001) 그 변화량 차이는 골드군이 스톤군에 비해 더 크게 나타났다. 골드군과 스톤군 모두 관리후 목 우측굴, 목 좌측굴, 목 굴곡, 목 신전 각도 변화에서 관리전에 비교하여 통계적으로 유의미하게 증가하였고(p<0.001) 그 변화량 차이는 골드군이 스톤군에 비해 더 크게 나타났다. 결론적으로 골드테라피가 목, 등, 어깨 부위 근막이완과 통증 완화에 효과적인 간호중재 방법임이 확인되어 비침습적인 안전한 방법으로 활용할 가치가 있다고 사료된다.
