Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
On recent research by Health Insurance Review \& Assessment Service, the number of rotator cuff tear patients has increased from 508155 to 704838 during 2013-2017. And also the research reported that the difference of effect between surgical treatments and non-surgical treatments was unremarkable. So in most cases, non-surgical treatments are applied primarily on rotator cuff tear except for some serious cases.
Physical therapy and medication are well known for the currently known non-surgical and conservative treatments, but research reported on the treatment of rotator cuff tear by using Korean medicine treatment so far has its weak level. Therefore, it is expected that this study will demonstrate the efficacy of the treatment of rotator cuff tear in Korean medicine treatment and will further pave the way for non-surgical treatment of rotator cuff tear.
Therefore, The investigators conducted an observational trial to analyze the effectiveness of Korean medicine treatment in rotator cuff tear. Retrospective data will be extracted using electronic medical records and computerized data of hospitalized patients. Based on this, investigators will conduct research in the form of a prospective survey and analyze the causal relationship and factors using the two data.
The hospital's medical records will be used to analyze the patient's condition during the hospitalization period and to determine the situation after the end of treatment through a questionnaire. The questionnaire will be developed after consultation with experts from the musculoskeletal system and related societies, and will be used for the questionnaire."

Herbal medicine
Herbal medicine will be administered in water-based decoction (120ml) and dried powder (2g) form (Ostericum koreanum,Eucommia ulmoides, canthopanax sessiliflorus, Achyranthes japonica, Psoralea corylifolia, aposhnikovia divaricata, Cibotium barometz, Lycium chinense, Boschniakia rossica, Cuscuta chinensis, Glycinemax, Atractylodes japonica) at the physician's discretion.
Chuna manual medicine
Chuna is a Korean manual therapy directed at the spine and joints that incorporates various spinal manual medicine techniques for joint mobilization involving high-velocity, low amplitude thrusts to joints slightly beyond the passive range of motion and gentle force to joints within the passive range of movement. Chuna manual medicine will be administered to the shoulder at the physician's discretion.
Pharmacopuncture
Pharmacopuncture consisting of select herbal ingredients will be administered at Gyunwoo (LI15), Gyunryo(TE14), Ah-shi points and local acupuncture points using disposable injection needles (CPL, 1 cc, 26G x 1.5 syringe, Shinchang medical co., Korea) at the physician's discretion.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture treatment will be administered using mainly proximal acupuncture points and Ah-shi points.
Electroacupuncture
Electroacupuncture treatment will be administered using mainly proximal acupuncture points and Ah-shi points.
Cupping
Cupping treatment will be administered at 1-2 points using mainly proximal acupuncture points and Ah-shi points.
Herbal hot pack
Herbal hot pack treatment will be administered using mainly proximal acupuncture points and Ah-shi points.
Physical therapy
The participants in the control group will be receive one or more physical therapy according to the physician's decision.
Other intervention(s)
Patients will be allowed any other additional intervention(s) as deemed necessary regardless of type or dose, and patterns of use will be investigated and recorded as a pragmatic clinical study.
