Abstract

Objectives This study aimed to investigate trends in domestic and international clinical approaches to the Korean medicine treatment of rotator cuff calcific tendinitis and to suggest future research directions. Methods We utilized nine electronic databases to identify domestic and international studies on Korean medicine treatment for rotator cuff calcific tendinitis. By analyzing the title, abstract, and main text, studies concerning Korean medicine treatment of rotator cuff tendinitis were included. Results Among the searched for studies, fourteen studies met our criteria. Eight of these were case reports and six were randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Across the studies, five treatment methods were employed, including acupuncture, herbal medicine, physical therapy, cupping therapy, and moxibustion. Acupuncture, used in all fourteen studies, was the most frequently utilized intervention. Thirteen evaluation tools were used to measure the effectiveness of Korean medicine treatment, and all studies reported positive outcomes. Conclusions We identified current trends in clinical approaches of Korean medicine treatment for rotator cuff calcific tendinitis and assessed the effectiveness of such treatment. However, further studies are warranted to establish a basis for Korean medicine treatment for rotator cuff calcific tendinitis.
