Abstract

Objectives This study identifies the status of research studying the effectiveness of Korean traditional medicine rehabilitation after hip, shoulder, and back surgery, and it also identifies research gaps to suggest future research direction. Methods The study conducted a scoping review in major databases, including the Research Information Sharing Service, Korean studies Information Service System, and PubMed, and identified 15 quantitative studies published in 2012 and 2023. Results Five studies were on hip surgery, four were on back surgery, two were on shoulder surgery, and the other four were on multi-site surgeries. The studies performed various interventions, including acupuncture, herbal medicine, cupping, moxibustion, and chuna. Outcome indicators included pain, functional status, quality of life, complication, period of medical treatment, and medical expenses. Of the 15 studies in the review, 14 reported a positive effect of applying Korean medicine rehabilitation intervention after musculoskeletal surgery. Conclusions Korean traditional medicine was effective as a rehabilitation treatment for patients undergoing hip, shoulder, and lumbar surgery, as it reduced pain and complications and improved the patient's quality of life and physical function. Researchers should conduct more in-depth studies with diverse outcome indicators and representative data, such as health insurance claim data.
