Abstract
본 연구는 만성요통이 있는 중년여성을 대상으로 경락마사지를 실시하여 요통자각도와 스트레스 지수 및 혈중 코티졸 변화에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. Meridian massage group(MG)은 해부학적 변위가 없이 만성적인 요통을 느끼는 40-50대 중년여성 10명을 대상으로 하였다. Control group(CG)은 만성적인 요통을 느끼면서 특별한 조치를 하지 않는 만성요통 중년여성 10명을 선정하였다. 경락마사지 처치는 1회60분, 1주일 2회,총 10주 간 20회에 걸쳐 실시하였다. 얻어진 결과는 다음과 같다. MG의 경우 요통자각도(p<.01)와 스트레스 지수(p<.05) 및 혈중 코티졸(p<.05)등 모든 요인에서 유의한 차이가 있게 감소하였다. CG의 경우 사전, 사후 거의 변화가 없었다. 결론적으로 경락마사지는 만성요통이 있는 중년여성의 통증 감소와 이에 따른 스트레스 관리에 긍정적인 역할을 수행할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
The purpose of this study is reviewing the effect of meridian massage on the changes of low back pain RPE (Rating of perceived exertion) and stress index and serum cortisol of middle aged women with chronic low back pain between treatment and non-treatment groups. Meridian Massage Group was targeting ten middle-aged women in their 40`s and 50`s who have chronic backache without anatomical malposition. Control Group was targeting ten middle-aged women who have chronic backache but don`t have any special treatments. Meridian massage treatments were performed for 60 minutes at a time, twice a week, and for 10 weeks. The result of the treatment is as follows. After the treatments, low back pain RPE (p<.01), stress index (p<.05), and serum cortisol (p<.05) decreased significantly. There is little change in the control group. On the whole, meridian massage has a positive effect on the decrease of low back pain and stress management of middle aged women with chronic low back pain.
