Objectives : The Purpose of this study is to compare the effect of ShinBaro Pharmacopuncture Treatment and Bee Venom Pharmacopuncture Treatment of low back pain and radicular pain caused by spondylolisthesis. Methods : From January 1st,2012 to September 30th, 2012, 30 Low back pain and radicular pain patients with spondylolisthesis who were admitted to Bu-Cheon Jaseng Hospital of Oriental Medicine were divided into two groups. ShinBaro group was treated by ShinBaro Pharmacopuncture Treatment and Bee Venom group was treated by Bee Venom Pharmacopuncture Treatment. We evaluated the treatment effect of each group with numerical rating scale(NRS) and Oswestry disability index(ODI). The evaluations performed at admission day and 14th day after admission. Results : In both ShinBaro group and Bee Venom group, NRS and ODI decreased significantly in ststistics as treatment was perfomed. Though ShinBaro group showed a decreasing ODI score compared to BV group and BV group showed a decreasing NRS score compared to Shinbaro group, There is no statistical significance on NRS and ODI score after the treatment in both groups. Conclusions : The result sugguest that both ShinBaro pharmacopuncture treatment and Bee Venom pharmacopuncture treatment is considered to be effective and useful on low back pain and radicular pain caused by spondylolisthesis, although further study is needed.
