Improvement of triceps muscle weakness in patients with cervical spondylotic myelopathy using Korean medicine therapy including shinbaro-2 pharmacopuncture: A CARE-compliant case series
The reported cases highlight KM treatment as a promising nonsurgical alternative for managing mild to moderate CSM, particularly in patients reluctant or unsuitable for surgery. KM treatments showed efficacy in improving pain, numbness, and muscular strength. Further rigorous studies are necessary to evaluate and confirm the broader applicability and effectiveness of KM approaches for CSM management.
