| Summary: | Objectives:In this study, we have discovered that Korean Bee-Venom therapy is effective in treating various hip joint diseases. For example, Avacular Necrosis, Degenerative Arthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Methods and Results:We have treated three cases of affections of the hip(eg. Degenerative arthritis, Rheumatoid arthritis and Avascular Necrosis of Femoral Head) with Korean Bee-Venom therapy and herbal acupuncture treatments. For acupuncture, Korean Bee-Venom therapy was observed for its pain relieving effects. Korean Bee-Venom therapy was treated on the following acupuncture points: GB29(Koryo:(居髎)), GB30(Hwando:(環跳)), ST36(Chok-samni:(足三里)). As the results of these treatments, a little change of inflammation around the hip joint on X-ray scan study was observed, but the degree of pain and range of motion were improved, in addition to general conditions of the patients.
Conclusions:Based on the clinical results, Korean Bee-Venom therapy is believed to be effective for treating Avascular Necrosis of Femoral Head, Degenerative arthritis and Rheumatoid arthritis of hip joint. However, it is expected that further studies should be conducted to provide more objective information. |
