Abstract
Objectives : The purpose of this study is to report the image changes of five cases of Cervical intervertebral disc Herniation after Oriental medicine Treatment. Patient & Methods : We examined 5 patients with Cervical intervertebral disc Herniation (HIVD of C-spine) who showed changes on MRI images before/after the treatment among HIVD of C-spine patients who visited Cervical Spine center, Jaseng Hospital of Oriental Medicine from March, 2006 to May, 2007. Results & Conclusions : In this study, the first MRI examination of HIVD of C-spine patients was performed at the first visit and re-examination of MRI was done after the treatment. We assessed clinical symptoms by using Numerical rating scales(NRS). In each case, the size of the disc herniation was considerably reduced in MRI image. NRS was also reduced significantly.
