First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether adding shoulder Chuna therapy (a type of manual joint adjustment) to standard Korean medicine could reduce shoulder pain in people hurt in traffic accidents. The trial planned to enroll 98 adults with acute shoulder pain, but it was terminated early. The main goal was to measure pain changes using a simple 0-10 scale.
