About this study
The purpose of this study is to reveal the effectiveness and safety of integrative Korean medicine for Ossification of Posterior Longitudinal Ligament(OPLL) by observation inpatients treated with integrative Korean medicine.
This study is a prospective observational study. The subjects for study are patients diagnosed with OPLL and who have been admitted to four Jaseng Hospital of Korean medicine (Gangnam, Bucheon, Daejeon, and Haeundae) for 2016.04.01-2019.12.31.
Medical records of selected patients will be analyzed, and telephone surveys will be conducted for each patient. The survey questions are Numeric ratinc scale (NRS), Vernon-Mior Neck Disability Index (NDI), quality of life, and Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC), etc.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
phone surveyOther
A questionnaire about the current symptoms and satisfaction for received treatment will be conducted over the phone for patients.
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Numeric rating scale (NRS)
NRS uses an 11-point scale to evaluate current neck pain and radiating pain where no pain is indicated by '0', and the worst pain imaginable by '10'. NRS was assessed at admission, 2 weeks after admission, discharge, and long term follow up.
Measured: Finish survey by September 2020
Secondary outcomes (7)
Vernon-Mior Neck Disability Index (NDI)
NDI is a 10-item questionnaire developed to evaluate the degree of disability for neck back pain. Each item is divided into 6 levels, and 0 to 5 points are awarded. The higher the score, the greater the degree of disability. We will conduct an validated Korean NDI questionnaire
Measured: Finish survey by September 2020
The five level version of EuroQol-5 Dimension (EQ-5D)
EQ-5D is most widely used as a method of indirectly calculating the quality of life from various aspects. The EQ-5D-5L consists of 5 questions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain, anxiety/depression) that ask about the current state of health, and answers each question with 5 likert. (1=I have no problems about, 2=I have slight problems about, 3=I have moderate problems about, 4=I have severe problems about, 5=I am unable to about) In this study, the validated Korean version questionnaire will be used.
Measured: Finish survey by September 2020
Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC)
PGIC is an indicator that evaluates the improvement of patients in 7 steps, and the subject responds with improvement of functional limitation after treatment with 7 likert. (1=very much improved, 2=much improved, 3=minimally improved, 4=no change, 5=minimally worse, 6=much worse, 7=very much worse).
Measured: Finish survey by September 2020
Spine surgery
The number of spinal surgery after discharge
Measured: Finish survey by September 2020
Current symptoms survey
Pain, neurological problems, etc.
Measured: Finish survey by September 2020
Treatment after discharge survey
Treatment history in the last 3 month
Measured: Finish survey by September 2020
Satisfaction with integrative Korean medicine survey
Preference for integrative Korean medicine, satisfaction with integrative Korean medicine, How helpful hospitalization has been for returning to work and adjusting to daily life.
Measured: Finish survey by September 2020
