“…Lately, in the United States, acupuncture has been recommended as an alternative to acute and chronic pain treatment to avoid opioid abuse 8,9) . As a conservative treatment for LDH, the effects of acupuncture, acupotomy, pharmacopuncture, and herbal medicine have been widely reported [10][11][12] , while the effect of using combined Korean medical treatment in patients with LDH taking opioids because of failure of pain control using conventional analgesic drugs has not been reported. Thus, to the best of our belief, this is the first case report that presents this case with a patient who was taking opioids; had low back pain, lower limb pain, and standing and walking restrictions due to LDH; and showed significant improvement after acupotomy and combined Korean medicine therapy.…”

A 57-year-old female diagnosed with L5-S1 lumbar intervertebral disc herniation, suffering from severe pain despite taking tapentadol received combined Korean medicine treatment, including acupotomy, acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, and herbal therapies for 53 days. To assess pain, Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and lumbar range of motion (ROM) were checked daily from the day of admission. Moreover, the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) and European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) were used to evaluate function and quality of life. After combined Korean medicine treatment, reabsorptioin of intervertebral disc was confirmed by radiological examination; pain reduced from NRS 5∼7 to NRS 1∼2; lumbar ROM in extention increased from 20° to 30°; and function and quality of life improved. The results suggest the possibility that a combined Korean medical treatment, including acupotomy, can be used as an alternative to opioids for pain management of lumbar vertebral disc herniation.

Objective: The aim of this systematic review with meta-analysis is to determine the effect of miniscalpel-needle/needle-knife in treatment of chronic pain symptoms. Methods: The following electronic databases will be searched by 2 independent reviewers: PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, Springer, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, and Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM). All randomized controlled trials on miniscalpel-needle/need-knife for chronic pain published in electronic databases from inception to August 1, 2019 with language restricted in Chinses and English will be included in the study. Methodologic quality is assessed by 2 blinded reviewers independently screen and score the articles using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) scale and the Cochrane Collaboration risk of bias tool. A meta-analysis was performed when there is sufficient clinical homogeneity in at least 2 studies. The Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach is used to rate the body of evidence in each meta-analysis. When the quantitive evaluation is not available, a qualitative description of the results of single study is provided. Results: A high-quality synthesis of current evidence of miniscapel-needle/needle-knife treating chronic pain will be illustrated using subjective reports and objective measures of performance. The primary outcomes consisted of pain intensity improvement rate clinically meaningful improvements in pain and disability are also noted. Secondary outcomes involve the short form of McGill Pain Questionnaire score (SF-MPQ) and the side effects. Conclusion: This protocol will present the evidence of whether miniscalpel-needle/needle-knife is an effective intervention for chronic pain. PROSPERO registration number: CRD42019129076

“…In addition, a review of trends of MA in musculoskeletal disorders, such as peroneal nerve palsy, obesity and so forth, has been published 6) . Among the musculoskeletal diseases, MA is more often used for 'lumbar spinal diseases' such as lumbar spinal stenosis and lumbar disc herniation 7,8) . Jun et al 9) reviewed the use of MA for lumbar disc herniation in China.…”
