본 연구는 손목 부위에 통증을 호소하는 일개 대학 재학생을 대상으로 환측 경혈(내관, 외관, 합곡, 족삼리)에미세전류 패치를 부착하여 통증 강도와 악력에 미치는 효과를 확인하기 위한 유사실험 연구로, 비동등성 플라시보 대조군 전후 시차설계이다. 연구는 2023년 10월 31일부터 2023년 11월 27일까지 B시에 위치한 P대학교 재학생을 대상으로 진행되었으며, 실험군 23명과 대조군 23명을 포함한 총 46명이 참여하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 23.0 프로그램을이용하여 분석하였다. 동질성 검정은 카이제곱 검정과 독립 표본 t-검정을 사용하였고, 실험 후 집단 간 종속변수의차이는 독립 표본 t-검정으로, 집단 내 종속변수의 차이는 대응 표본 t-검정으로 분석하였다. 2주간 미세전류 패치를적용한 실험군은 일반 원형 밴드를 적용한 대조군에 비해 통증 강도는 유의하게 감소하였으며(t=7.78, p <.001), 악력은유의하게 증가하였다(t=-0.75, p =.038). 이에 따라 미세전류 패치는 통증 완화 및 근력 향상에 긍정적인 효과가 있는것으로 확인되었다.
Abstract
This study was a quasi-experimental design aimed at confirming the effects of applying microcurrent patches to specific acupoints(PC6, TE5, LI4, ST36) on wrist pain intensity and grip strength in college students complaining of wrist pain. The study design was a nonequivalent placebo-controlled pretest-posttest design. It was conducted from October 31, 2023, to November 27, 2023, involving students at P College located in City B. A total of 46 participants were included in the study, with 23 in the experimental group and 23 in the control group. Data collected were analyzed using the chi-square test, independent t-test, and paired t-test via the SPSS WIN 23.0 program. The experimental group that applied microcurrent patches for two weeks showed a significant decrease in pain intensity compared to the control group that used a general circular band (t=7.78, p <.001) and a significant increase in grip strength (t=-0.75, p =.038). Therefore, microcurrent patches were found to have a positive effect on pain relief and improvement in muscle strength.
