영문 초록

Objective : There is hardly case report in oriental medicine about the ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament(OPLL). We experienced a patient(64-year-old male) with OPLL improved by oriental medicine treatment, and we report it clinically. Methods : While the patient with OPLL was treated acupuncture, physical therapy, and CHUNA manual therapy, we evaluated the patient`s symptoms and function by visual analogue scale(VAS), clinical criteria for evaluation of the cervical myelopathy by the japanese orthopaedic association(JOA Score) and cervical spine`s range of motion(ROM) in three times for the 17 days that were a hospitalization period. Results : VAS, JOA score and ROM in OPLL patient were improved. VAS in symptoms became lower from 10 to 5. JOA score increased from 12 points to 13 points. As for the ROM, it was improved in 30.1%. Conclusion : Oriental medicine treatment may be effective in conservative treatment of OPLL. We propose that more clinical studies and reaches are accomplished in oriental medicine.
