The purpose of this study is to conduct a pragmatic randomized controlled clinical trial involving 40 patients suffering from chronic knee pain The trial will compare the effects of treatment strategies utilizing pharmacopuncture 20 patients with those utilizing the standard Western medical treatment of physical therapy 20 patients to verify the comparative efficacy of pharmacopuncture
However in this pragmatic clinical trial patients will be randomly assigned to either the pharmacopuncture strategy or the physical therapy strategy The specific methods of physical therapy and pharmacopuncture will not be predetermined but will be administered based on the clinical judgment of physicians and traditional Korean medicine practitioners according to the patients condition All applied treatment methods will be retrospectively reviewed through chart review and recorded in the Case Report Form CRF for comparison
