PROCEDURE

Pharmacopuncture

The selection of acupoints, depth of insertion, and other parameters will be determined based on the clinical judgment of the Korean medicine practitioner, considering the patient's symptoms, imaging results, and degree of improvement. All acupoints where pharmacopuncture is administered will be recorded at the time of treatment. The type and dosage of pharmacopuncture solution to be used during treatment will be determined entirely based on the clinical judgment of the Korean medicine practitioner performing the pharmacopuncture. Retrospective chart reviews will be conducted to record the type of pharmacopuncture solution used and the total amount administered (in ml). The treatment will be administered twice a week for a total of 3 weeks, and all sessions will be documented for accurate evaluation.
