Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of eo-hyeol bang for patients with whiplash injury caused by a traffic accident. Methods : 60 patients were divided into two groups, Group A and Group B, of 30 patients each. Group A was treated with eo-hyeol bang twice per week for four weeks. Group B was treated with general acupuncture treatment twice per week for four weeks. Results : Between the two groups there was no significant difference in the VNRS score and the Neck disability index. Also, the study did not show significant difference between three variations of motion pattern induced pain and four stages based on the trauma duration of Group A. Conclusions : For patients with whiplash injury, eo-hyeol bang has not proven to be more effective than general acupuncture treatment. KCI Citation Count: 18
