Clinical Trial Summary

This study is a prospective, case-control observational trial. The investigators will compare the MSAT group to the control group to analyze the effectiveness of shoulder MSAT.

Description:

Motion Style Acupuncture Treatment(MSAT) is a therapeutic technique using acupuncture needle created in Jaseng Hospital. This treatment involves patients with musculoskeletal pain to move the part of their body actively during acupuncture treatment under physicians' observation. This treatment is known to relieve the pain and increase the range of motion(ROM). However, there has been no specific value for the effect of this treatment.

Therefore, The investigators conducted observational trial to analyze the effectiveness of shoulder MSAT. From July 2019, The investigators will collect 80 patients with ROM limitation on both or each shoulder and who are suffering from shoulder pain with the numeric rating scale(NRS) over 4.

The investigators will compare pain, dysfunction, quality of life and satisfaction of patients who are treated with Korean medical treatment including MSAT and patients who are treated with Korean medical treatment not including MSAT.

For these two groups, The investigators will compare Range Of Motion(ROM), NRS(Numeric Rating Scale), Visual Analogue Scale(VAS), Shoulder Pain and Disability Index(SPADI), Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) and EuroQol 5-Dimension (EQ-5D-5L).

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Shoulder mobility on the Shoulder ROM	Shoulder ROM was measured in six directions (Flexion, Extension, Abduction, Adduction, Right rotation, Left rotation) with goniometer.	At within 2 weeks
Secondary	Numeric Rating Scale(NRS) of shoulder pain	The extent of shoulder pain and discomfort was assessed using NRS. NRS is a pain scale in which the patient indicates their subjective pain as a whole number from 0 to 10. The participant is asked to report their shoulder pain and discomfort using NRS, where 0 indicates 'no pain or discomfort' and 10 indicates 'the most severe pain and discomfort imaginable'.	At screening, baseline, 2 weeks, 3 months, and through study completion, an average of 3 month
Secondary	Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of shoulder pain	VAS is an assessment index in which the patient records their pain on a 100mm line from 'no pain' at one end, and 'the most severe pain imaginable' at the other end.	At screening, baseline, 2 weeks and through study completion, an average of 3 month
Secondary	Shoulder Pain and Disability Index(SPADI) questionnaire of shoulder pain and disability	SPADI is a self-administered questionnaire that consists of two dimensions, one for pain and the other for functional activities.	At baseline, 2 weeks, 3 months
Secondary	Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC)	The PGIC is an index that assesses improvements in functional limitation caused by whiplash injury. Participants rate the improvement in functional limitations after treatment on a 7-point Likert scale (1=Very much improved, 4=No change, 7=Very much worse). This index was originally developed for use in Psychology, but is currently used in various other medical fields to assess improvements in pain.	At baseline, 2 weeks, 3 months
Secondary	EuroQol 5-Dimension (EQ-5D-5L)	The EQ-5D-5L is a method of indirectly calculating the weights of certain health states for quality of life after a multidimensional investigation of health states, and is the most widely used instrument for this purpose. The EQ-5D consists of 5 questions about current health state (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain, anxiety/depression), and each question is scored on a 5-point Likert scale (1=no problems, 3=moderate problems, 5=severe problems). In this study, The investigators will use the Korean version of the EQ-5D-5L, which has been demonstrated to be valid.	At baseline, 2 weeks, 3 months
Secondary	Adverse events(AE)	Adverse events(AE) Physicians will monitor and record any unexpected or unintended patient reaction to integrative korean medicine at each visit. Adverse events (AEs) associated with integrative korean medicine will include, but not be limited to, AEs anticipated from previous reports of korean medicine, and will stay open to all possibilities taking into consideration other potential, unknown AEs.	Through study completion, an average of 3 month
Secondary	Shoulder mobility on the Shoulder ROM	Shoulder ROM was measured in six directions (Flexion, Extension, Abduction, Adduction, Right rotation, Left rotation) with goniometer.	At screening, baseline, 2 weeks, 3 months and through study completion, an average of 3 month
