Abstract

The purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of a 4 week course of Cox distraction manipulation (CDM) combined with therapeutic modalities on the treatment of patients with L4-5 herniated nucleus pulposus (HNP). A total of 15 patients with L4-5 HNP (mean age, 37.76 years; age range 20-50years) participated in the study. A 4 week course of CDM combined with therapeutic modalities was delivered to the patients for 6 days per week for the first two weeks, and three times per week for two additional weeks. The entire treatment consisted of 18 visits over 4 week period. Comparisons of changes in the muscle strengthening (MS), straight leg raise (SLR), and oswestry disability index (ODI) at pre-intervention, after two weeks treatment sessions, and at discharge (after 18 treatment sessions) were analyzed. Comparisons of changes in the disc herniation index (DHI) at pre-intervention and at discharge were analyzed using the paired t-test. There were significant improvements in the outcome measures of MS Ibs, SLR test, and ODI score after 2 weeks and 4 weeks sessions of CDM combined with therapeutic modalities as compared with the pre-intervention. However, no significant different pre-test and post-test DHI. CDM combined with therapeutic modalities appears to be a safe and efficacious, noninvasive treatment modality for patients with L4-5 HNP.

본 연구의 목적은 요추 추간판 탈출증 환자에게 치료적 모달리티와 칵스 신연교정치료 효과에 대하여 알아보고자 한다. 요추 추간판 탈출증 환자 15명 (나이 36.62, 범위 20-50, 남자 7명과 여자 8명)을 대상으로 4주간 적용하였다. 치료적 모달리티와 칵스 신연교정치료를 첫 2주 동안 주 6일, 12회 적용하였으며, 마지막 2주간은 주 3일 6회 적용하였다. 모든 실험대상자에게 4주 동안 18회를 적용하였다. 측정은 오스웨스트리 요통장애지수, 근력, 하지 직거상 검사는 실험 전, 치료 2주 후, 치료 4주 후 변화의 차이를 일요인 반복측정을 이용하였으며, 추간판 탈출지수는 실험 전, 치료 4주 후 변화 차이를 대응표본 t-검정을 이용하여 측정하였다. 치료적 중재 기간에 따라 치료 전, 2주 후, 4주 후 측정결과 오스웨스트리 요통장애 지수, 하지 직거상 검사, 그리고 근력은 치료 2주 후, 치료 4주 후가 치료 전에 비하여 통계학적 유의한 변화가 있었다. 그러나 추간판 탈출지수는 치료 전에 비하여 감소함을 나타냈으나 통계학적으로 유의한 변화는 없었다. 결론적으로 요추 추간판 탈출증 환자에게 치료적 모달리티와 칵스 신연교정치료가 요통장애지수, 하지 직거상 검사, 근력개선에 효과적이란 결론을 얻었다. 이것은 칵스 신연교정치료의 안전성과 효과의 확인, 그리고 요추 추간판 탈출증 환자에게 비수술적 치료법으로서의 근거를 제시하였다.
