Abstract

Objectives The objective of this study was to investigate clinical the trends of Korean medicine treatments for iliopsoas muscle. Methods 6 Korean and foreign on-line databases were researched for articles discussing Korean medicine treatments for iliopsoas muscle. The included studies were classified according to the published years, study designs, techniques of treatment and evaluation method. Results The total number of studies selected was 12, which included 8 case reports, 2 randomized controlled trials (RCT), and 2 non-RCT. In these studies, acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, Chuna, and herbal medicine were used for treatment. Most studies used visual analogue scale as primary outcome. Conclusions Based on the results of the collected studies, we analyzed the clinical trends of Korean medicine treatments for iliopsoas muscle. The results showed that a variety of Korean medicine treatments can be applied to the iliopsoas muscle and positive effects can be confirmed.
