Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and score in the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) were analyzed as the main evaluation criteria. \u0000Results : Among 273 articles, 254 were screened and 19 RCTs were selected. Only 17 RCTs could be statistically analyzed. Manual therapy was more effective than placebo or sham or no treatment in terms of VAS (p=0.0003). When combined with medication or exercises, manual therapy showed therapeutic effect in terms of reducing pain (VAS) and ameliorating symptoms of FMS (FIQ). However, manual therapy did not show its effect in terms of VAS compared to medication. Lastly, there were no significant difference between manual therapy and exercise in terms of improvements in VAS and FIQ. \u0000Conclusions : Effectiveness of manual therapy including CMT for treating FMS was identified. However, this study has its limitations due to the small size and number of RCTs that were included in this study.

Methods Data management and descriptive analysis, logistic regression, and survival analysis were conducted for defining and estimating the LBP patients after back surgery in the NPS 2019 dataset. Results A total of 216,424 patients out of 991,189 were identified as having LBP. Among the patients with LBP, 1,734 were treated with surgery while 214,690 were not. Among those who had surgery, 937 were treated with conventional treatments only and 797 underwent Korean medicine treatments. The odds ratio of the logistic regression analysis was 0.7129, suggesting that Korean medical treatment experience group had a 28.7% lower risk of reoperation than the Western medical treatments only group. The hazard ratio of the survival analysis was 0.9145; thus, the risk probability of reoperation was estimated to be approximately 8.55% lower. The 50% risk of reoperation was 69 days (0.5044) for the conventional group, and 97 days (0.5008) for the Korean medical group in the survival analysis using the Kaplan-Meier graph. Conclusions These results could be utilized in future studies in conducting economic evaluation for estimating cost-effectiveness of Western medicine and Korean medicine treatment compared to Western medicine alone in LBP patients after back surgery in a South Korean perspective. mended and should be applied while taking the necessary precautions.","PeriodicalId":430318,"journal":{"name":"Korean Society of Chuna Manual Medicine Spine and Nerves","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128537619","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
