The purpose of this research is to find out the effect of Megadose pharmacopuncture with Korean Medicine Treatment on patients who were diagnosed as ThoracoLumbar Junction Syndrome. Megadose pharmacopuncture was proceeded on 4 patients who received treatment at ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$ Korean Medicine Hospital from November, 2016 to Februrary, 2017. In addition, We also kept a record of NRS, ODI, and EQ-5D on the day of admission and discharge to find out the differences between initial and final figures. As a result, Megadose parmacopuncture showed a significant effect on alleviating pain on patients with ThoracoLumbar Junction Syndrome. There was a significant decrease in NRS, ODI scores. Not only did the scores of NRS and ODI decrease significantly,but also the figures of EQ-5D increased significantly as well. To be specific, the mean of NRS and ODI dcreased from 10 to 1.75 and 61.87 to 12.78 while the mean of EQ-5D increased from 0.258 to 0.850. This research suggests Megadose pharmacopuncture with Korean Medicine Treatment could be a remedy for ThoracoLumbar Junction Syndrome.

Objectives: We have evaluated the effects of conservative treatment on one patient who was diagnosed to thoraco-lumbar junction and lumbo-sacral junction transitional zone syndrome. so, we investigate thoraco-lumbar junction and Jumbo-sacral junction tranzitional zone syndrome that was suggested by Maigne R. Methods : One patient was diagnosed as T12-L1 herinated intervetebral disc through MRI. We diagnosed the patient to transitional zone syndrome by symptoms and physical examination and used Acupuncture therapy, Cox technique to the patient. We measured Visual Analog Scale(VAS) before and after treatment. Results: After treating Acupuncture therapy, Cox technique in the case, We find out that the patient was improved. VAS score changed from 7 to 2 and physical examinations are improved. Conclusions: We improved the patient who had thoraco-lumbar junction and lumbo-sacral junction transitional zone syndrome by Cox technique and Acupuncture therapy, and we found that thoraco-lumbar junction related lumbo-sacral junction.
