“…[8] In Korea, several retrospective studies reported positive effects of ultrasoundguided pharmacopuncture for the treatment of various musculoskeletal disorders, such as rib fracture and acute lower back pain. [9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Through these reports, it can be inferred that ultrasoundguidance is actively applied in the clinical practice of KM. Fueled by the rapid development of science and technology, new technologies have been and adopted in medicine through multidisciplinary collaboration.…”

Ultrasound-guidance is applied during the administration of Korean medicine (KM) interventions to improve the safety and effectiveness of the interventions. Although many case series and reports on the use of ultrasound-guided KM interventions have been reported, no study has investigated the current use of ultrasound-guidance in clinical practice by doctors of Korean medicine (KMDs). An online survey was conducted with questions examining the status of ultrasound-guidance usage among KMDs practicing in various KM clinical settings. Survey responses from 335 KMDs were collected. Ultrasound started to be widely used in the clinical practice of KM since 2022. The primary objective of using ultrasound-guidance was “To improve the accuracy and efficacy” by 54.6%. Ultrasound-guidance was most frequently applied for shoulder joint diseases, and pharmacopuncture was the most frequently used intervention (76.1% and 90.4%, respectively). The respondents reported that effectiveness could be enhanced the most in nerve entrapment syndromes and especially when used in shoulder joints. Over 90% of KMDs responded that the safety and efficacy of treatment, specialty, and patients’ satisfaction were improved after adopting ultrasound-guidance. Moreover, 94.9% of KMDs agreed with the necessity for reimbursement of ultrasound-guidance in KM under national health insurance coverage. Most KMDs responded that they had positive perceptions regarding the clinical use of ultrasound-guidance in KM in terms of treatment effects, safety, and patient satisfaction, and the need for national health insurance coverage of the service. Our findings may provide practice-based evidence for conducting clinical studies.

Objectives: This case study aims to demonstrate the efficacy of ultrasound-guided hominis placenta pharmacopuncture in lateral epicondylitis.Methods: A 42-year-old male patient presented with lateral epicondylitis of the right arm of 4 months’ duration. Sonographic findings were tearing of the common extensor tendon at the lateral epicondyle. The patient was treated with ultrasound-guided hominis placenta pharmacopuncture and acupuncture for 9 weeks. The numeric rating scale (NRS) and patient-rated tennis elbow evaluation(PRTEE) were used to assess pain, function and progression. Ultrasound images were compared every 2 weeks.Results: After treatments, NRS and PRTEE were reduced from 7 to 1 and from 106 to 22, respectively. And improvement was observed in the torn region of the common extensor tendon on ultrasound imaging.Conclusion: This case demonstrates that ultrasound-guided hominis placenta pharmacopuncture could improve lateral epicondylitis and tear with minimally invasive methods.

Objectives: This study was conducted to develop a standard acupotomy consent form that takes into account the unique characteristics of Korean Medicine. The study was motivated by the increasing importance of patient autonomy and the growing number of legal disputes related to medical malpractice in the clinical field of Korean Medicine.Methods: The analysis phase of the study involved a survey of the current status of acupotomy consent forms in Korean Medicine hospitals nationwide. The items of each form were analyzed based on the contents of the Medical law and the standard contract for medical procedures of the Fair Trade Commission (FTC). In the development and evaluation phase, the items and contents of the acupotomy consent form were evaluated using a 5-point Likert scale and content validity was assessed through two rounds of Delphi surveys. In the improvement phase, the contents of the consent form were revised based on the results of a survey of inpatient and outpatient patients in the Department of Acupuncture and Moxibustion at Pusan National University Korean Medicine Hospital, and real-time online meeting. The final version of the standard acupotomy consent form was completed after undergoing proofreading and corrections by a linguistics expert.Results: Only 30% of Korean Medicine hospitals have implemented acupotomy consent forms. The items of the consent forms did not fully include the items presented in the Medical act and the standard contract for medical procedures of the FTC. To address this issue, two rounds of Delphi surveys and a real-time discussion were conducted with a panel of 12 experts on 27 preliminary items of consent forms. The items and contents that met the criteria for content validity ratio, convergence, and consensus were derived. Based on the derived items and content, a standard acupotomy consent form was developed.Conclusions: The standard consent form for acupotomy is anticipated to ensure patient autonomy and enhance transparency and liability in acupotomy. Furthermore, it is expected to serve as evidence in case of medical disputes related to acupotomy and contribute as a reference document for the development of standard consents forms for various procedures of Korean Medicine. However, the limitations of the study include that the survey of consent forms was limited to only training hospitals of Korean Medicine, and the standard consent form is only applicable to adults in Korea. Future studies are needed to address these limitations.
