초록

본 연구는 만성 요통환자를 대상으로 치료사 손을 통한 고주파 치료 후 통증과 장애지수에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보기 위해 실시하였다. 본 연구의 기간은 2016년 4월부터 9월까지 H의원에 통원치료를 받는 만성요통 환자 21명을 대상으로 실시하였다. 고주파 치료 장비는 프랑스에서 개발한 Winback 3SE를 적용하여 시각적 상사척도(Visual Analogue Scale; VAS)와 오스웨스트리 장애 설문지(Oswestry Disability Questionnaire; ODQ)를 평가하였다. 연구결과 중재 후 시각적 상사척도(Visual Analogue Scale; VAS)는 $6.67{\pm}1.76$ 점에서 $5.52{\pm}2.03$ 점으로 유의하게 감소하였고(p<.05), 오스웨스트리 장애 설문지(Oswestry Disability Questionnaire; ODQ)에서도 $41.19{\pm}2.56$ 점에서 $35.14{\pm}5.11$ 점으로 유의하게 감소하였다(p<.05). 만성요통 환자에게 고주파 치료기를 이용한 중재 방법이 통증의 감소와 장애지수의 감소를 확인하였으며, 지속적으로 다양한 질환에 대한 연구가 필요할 것이다.

A test study was conducted to identify the effects of diathermy through therapist's hand on patients with chronic lumbar pain. The study assessed the effectiveness of Winback High Frequency TECAR Therapy on 21 patients suffering from chronic lumbar pain and the testing was held at H Hospital and began in April 2016 and concluded in September 2016. Assessment of pain relief was through a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and the Oswestry Disability Questionnaire (ODQ). The results showed a VAS score decrease from $6.67{\pm}1.76$ to $5.52{\pm}2.03$ (p<0.05) and the ODQ results also showed an decrease from $41.19{\pm}2.56$ to $35.14{\pm}5.11$ (p<0.05). Both of these results are indicative of the positive effects that diathermy through therapist's hand has in the treatment of chronic pain, and the necessity for further studies in this field.
