ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To evaluate the effectiveness of Chuna for the treatment of musculoskeletal pain as reported in Korean literature.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>We conducted an electronic literature search using seven Korean databases and manually searched six traditional Korean medicine journals. Risk of bias was assessed with the Cochrane criteria.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Six randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included in the study. Compared with standard care, three RCTs suggested favorable effects of Chuna on neck pain due to a hypolordotic cervical spine, low back pain caused by traffic accidents, and low back pain. In contrast, compared with standard care, three RCTs failed to show positive effects on temporomandibular joint disorder, mandibular movement, and neck pain caused by traffic accidents.</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Currently, the evidence of the effectiveness of Chuna for the treatment of musculoskeletal pain is not convincing. Further rigorously designed trials are warranted to determine its effectiveness.</p>
