Abstract

In general, the function limitation of the burned hand is determined by the thermal injury; however, infection, pressure necrosis, inactivity, poor positioning, subsequent scarring and contractures are intimately related to functional disability. The goal of treatment of the burned hand is the prevention of deformities and maintainance of function. Objective : This study of the Acupuncture therapeutic effect on the burned hand will suggest another treatment plan for the more effective therapy. Methods : To heal the burned hand, we used Acupuncture therapy as Banja-technic(半刺法) Moja-technic(毛刺法). Results & Conclusions : Authors reviewed 1 patient who had received only Acupuncture treatment for the burned hand. The burned hand of the patient was healed in about 11 days by only Acupuncture treatment.

1. 우측(右側) 수지(手指) 3-4지에 $2.0{\times}2.0cm$의 수포와 $6.0{\times}4.0cm$의 발적(發赤)이 형성된 2도 화상의 환자를 5회의 환부자침(患部刺鍼)만으로(총 11일) 흉터 없이 완치되는 효과를 얻었다. 2. 피부 손상의 경우, 환부주위(患部周圍)에 자침(刺鍼)하여 십이피부(十二皮膚)의 기혈(氣血)소통을 원활히 해주면 우수한 치료효과가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 욕창(褥瘡)이나 창상(創傷)등에서도 훌륭한 치료 효과가 기대된다. 2. 화상의 정도가 심한 경우는 사순청양음(四順淸凉飮) 같은 청열해독작용(淸熱解毒作用)과 통리대소편(通利大小便)하는 처방을 사용 하여 내외동치(內外同治)하면 효과가 극대화되리라고 사료된다.
