Abstract

The objective of this study is to report the improved case of Korean medicine treatment with Aconitum ciliare decaisne pharmacopuncture for supraspinatus tendon full-thickness tear. We used Aconitum ciliare Decaisne pharmacopuncture with other Korean medicine treatments (acupuncture, electroacupuncture, and cupping) for this patient. This case is measured and assessed by the numerical rating scale (NRS), shoulder range of motion (ROM), shoulder pain and disability index (SPADI) and shoulder physical examination. As the result, we found the improvement of NRS, SPADI, ROM, and shoulder physical examination. This study suggested that Korean medicine treatment with Aconitum ciliare Decaisne pharmacopuncture is proved to be helpful to relieve pain and recover function for supraspinatus tendon full-thickness tear. But further clinical studies are needed to clarify the effect of Aconitum ciliare Decaisne pharmacopuncture therapy for patients with supraspinatus tendon full-thickness tear.
