Abstract

Objectives:

This study was aimed to determine which pharmacopuncture was effective in relieving pain in standard pain model, acute grade 3 ankle sprain rat model.

Methods:

Percentage changes of weight bearing ratio(WBR), as pain indicator, were measured after anti-inflammation, neutro Eohyul, Hwangryunhaedock-decoction pharmacopuncture were injected to Guheo(GB₄₀).

Results:

In three kinds of pharmacopuncture, neutro Eohyul and Hwangryunhaedock-decoction pharmacopuncture represented more effect in percentage changes of WBR than surgical(non treatment), needling group.

Conclusions:

Comparing of pharmacopuncture in grade 3 ankle sprain rat model, these results provide basis to select pharmacopuncture in sprain disease. Furthermore, mechanism of pharmacopuncture’s analgesia, anti-inflammation should be progressed.

Key Words: Ankle sprain; Pharmacopuncture; GB₄₀; Anti-inflammation pharmacopuncture; Neutro Eohyul pharmacopuncture; Hwangryunhaedock-decoction pharmacopuncture.

Comparison of normal group and ankle surgical sprain group

Weight bearing ratio stands for foot steping force to body weight.

Foot steping force were measured as highest foot stepping force of the hind limb of ankle sprained rat.

The data were expressed mean ± SE of weingt bearing ratio.

Effect of anti-inflammation pharmaco-puncture applied to GB₄₀ on changes of WBR ratio in a ankle sprain rat

Control group were consisted of sprain group(non treated group) and needling group.

Needling group were needled to GB₄₀ in 5 seconds. Anti-inflammation group were injected anti-inflammation pharmacopuncture 50 μl to GB₄₀ in 5 seconds.

The data were expressed mean ± SE of percent changes in weight bearing ratio.

^* : statistically significant compared with sprain group(^*:p<0.05)

Effect of neutro Eohyul pharmaco-puncture applied to GB₄₀ on changes of WBR ratio in a ankle sprain rat

Neutro Eohyul group were injected neutro Eohyul pharmaco-puncture 50 μl to GB₄₀ in 5 seconds.

The data were expressed mean ± SE of percent changes in weight bearing ratio.

Effect of Hwangryunhaedock-decoction pharmacopuncture applied to GB₄₀ on changes of WBR ratio in a ankle sprain rat

Hwangryunhaedock-decoction group were injected Hwangryunhaedock-decoction pharmacopuncture 50 μl to GB₄₀ in 5 seconds.

The data were expressed mean ± SE of percent changes in weight bearing ratio.
