abstract="OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study is to comprehensively review Korean domestic studies and investigate the research trends of pharmacopuncture therapy on cervical  pain caused by traffic accidents. <br><br>METHODS: Domestic studies between February 1999  and May 2020 from four Korean databases were searched with combinations of keywords  'cervical pain', 'traffic accident', 'whiplash injury', and 'pharmacopuncture'. <br><br>RESULTS: 17 studies were selected for review, including 7 randomized controlled  trials, 5 retrospective observational studies, 3 case reports, and 2 non-randomized  controlled trials. Each study was reviewed by published year, study type, types of  pharmacopuncture solutions, selected acupuncture points, dosage of pharmacopuncture  solutions, frequency of treatment, concurrent treatments, outcome measurements, and  the effectiveness of pharmacopuncture therapy. The results are as follows (1) It  showed that the total number of published studies had increased slightly in the last  10 years compared to the previous decade. (2) The pharmacopuncture solutions used in  the studies were in the following order Bee-Venom (), Jungsongouhyul (),  Hwangryunhaedoktang () and Soyeom (). Frequently used acupuncture points were GB20,  GV21, A-shi point, GV16, EX-B2, and SI15 in order. (3) The most commonly used total  injection dosage was 1.0 cc at a time, and the frequency of treatment was twice a  week. (4) Concurrent treatments such as acupuncture, herbal medication, physical  therapy and Chuna manual therapy were performed in all 17 studies. (5)  Pharmacopuncture therapy showed positive effects on cervical pain caused by traffic  accidents in all 17 studies reviewed. <br><br>CONCLUSION: Pharmacopuncture therapy was  effective in cervical pain caused by traffic accidents in all 17 studies selected. Further studies will be needed using more larger scales and more objective data to  confirm the effectiveness of pharmacopuncture therapy and to generalize its  application.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
