The Effect of Early MSAT Treatment on Sciatica Caused by Traffic Accidents

Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

The investigators would like to conduct a pilot study prior to a practical randomized control study on the effectiveness of initial MSAT treatment on inpatients complaining of radiating pain and abnormal sensation in the lower extremities caused by traffic accidents.

Clinical Trial Description

The stimulation of the nerve roots due to physicochemical causes can lead to symptoms along the distribution area of those nerves, such as radiating pain, numbness, a sensation of heat, dullness in sensation, muscle weakness, and more. While radiating pain and abnormal sensations typically arise from lumbar disc herniation, they can also result from peripheral nerve entrapment, like in radiculopathy. Traditional Korean medicine treatments for radiating pain involve acupuncture, pharmacoacupuncture, moxibustion, cupping and Chuna therapy. Motion Style Acupuncture Treatment (MSAT) combines traditional acupuncture with neurophysiological theories, focusing on administering acupuncture at the affected area and subsequently involving active or passive movements. Studies have shown the efficacy of MSAT in treating various acute and chronic neuromuscular disorders like low back pain, brachial plexus injury, and temporomandibular joint disorders. Although there have been reports of the effectiveness of pelvic MSAT treatment in patients complaining of lumbar and radiating pain due to lumbar disc herniation, research on the initial effects of MSAT treatment specifically targeting traffic accident victims is still lacking. MSAT has been developed as an emergency acupuncture method that enhances blood circulation by adding movement to traditional acupuncture, offering quick pain relief and restoring range of motion. Given the significant impact of a traffic accident, positive effects could be anticipated in alleviating radiating pain and restoring reduced range of motion through MSAT, especially when these symptoms arise following such a traumatic event. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
