About this study

Official title: Prospective Observation Study of the Effect of Chuna Manipulation Therapy on Gait in Patients With Lumbar Disc Herniation

Prospective Observation Study of the Effect of Chuna Manipulation Therapy on Gait in Patients With Lumbar Disc Herniation

Read the detailed description

To investigate the effect of Chuna manual therapy on gate, 20 patients with lumbar disc herniation were studied. The gait analysis was performed before the first treatment, after the seventh treatment, after the 14th treatment, and compared with the data of 20 normal subjects.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Chuna manipulationProcedure or surgery

    Also called Chuna spinal manipulation

    Chuna is a Korean spinal manipulation that incorporates spinal manipulation techniques for joint mobilization involving high-velocity, low amplitude thrusts to joints slightly beyond the passive range of motion and gentle force to joints within the passive range of movement. Chuna manipulation will be administered to pelvic, lumbar, thoracic, and cervical vertebrae at the physician's discretion.

  • Herbal medicineDrug

    Also called Traditional herbal medicine

    Herbal medicine will be administered in water-based decoction (120ml) and dried powder (2g) form (Ostericum koreanum, Eucommia ulmoides, Acanthopanax sessiliflorus, Achyranthes japonica, Psoralea corylifolia, Saposhnikovia divaricata, Cibotium barometz, Lycium chinense, Boschniakia rossica, Cuscuta chinensis, Glycine max, Atractylodes japonica).

  • Bee venom pharmacopunctureProcedure or surgery

    Also called Bee venom acupuncture

    Bee venom pharmacopuncture will be administered only after confirming a negative response to hypersensitivity skin test. Diluted bee venom (saline:bee venom ratio, 10,000:1) filtered for allergens will be injected at 4-5 acupoints proximal to the dysfunctional site at the physician's discretion. Each acupuncture point will be injected to a total of 0.5-1 cc using disposable injection needles (CPL, 1 cc, 26G x 1.5 syringe, Shinchang medical co., Korea).

  • PharmacopunctureProcedure or surgery

    Pharmacopuncture consisting of select herbal ingredients will be administered at Hyeopcheok (Huatuo Jiaji, EX B2), Ah-shi points and local acupuncture points using disposable injection needles (CPL, 1 cc, 26G x 1.5 syringe, Shinchang medical co., Korea).

  • AcupunctureProcedure or surgery

    Acupuncture treatment will be administered using mainly proximal acupuncture points and Ah-shi points.

  • ElectroacupunctureProcedure or surgery

    Electroacupuncture treatment will be administered using mainly proximal acupuncture points and Ah-shi points.

  • CuppingProcedure or surgery

    Cupping treatment will be administered at 1-2 points using mainly proximal acupuncture points and Ah-shi points.

  • Other intervention(s)Other

    Patients will be allowed any other additional intervention(s) as deemed necessary by the attending physician regardless of type or dose, and patterns of use will be investigated and recorded as an pragmatic clinical study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lumbar Disc Herniation and Gait Analysis, run by Jaseng Medical Foundation.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Mar 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Gait parameter change (time frame: baseline, 2 weeks after baseline). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Mar 2019.
