Background:Enhanced recovery after surgery programs are widely known as a far-reaching approach to help patients with surgeries recover rapidly by giving optimized care. However, especially in the spine medicinal domain, relevant studies are scarce. In order to manage proper recovery after surgery, practitioners need to take a comprehensive look at the suppression of pain, strategies for improving the results of surgery, improving the quality of life, and mental support of patients. To this end, a recovery-enhancing program through integrated medical technology which covers both conventional and Korean medicine is highly required. We want to develop an integrated medical program that covers a wide range of medicinal domains for the early recovery of patients after spinal surgery. The aim of the present study is to check out which thermal stimulation with meridian points are more effective than others to enhance recovery after spinal surgery.Methods:The following online databases will be retrieved in the present study: PubMed; Scopus; the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials; Ovid MEDLINE; Ovid EMBASE; Chinese Biomedical Literature Database; China National Knowledge Infrastructure; and Chinese Scientific Journal Database (VIP database). We will independently classify articles and will encapsulate characteristics of the study components. Primary outcomes will be categorized into visual analog scale, Tolerance to liquid and solid diet, postoperative hospitalization period, and quality of life. Secondary outcomes will be analyzed based on the study findings.Results and Conclusion:The results of this study will be submitted to a peer-reviewed journal for publication. Furthermore, the outcomes of this study would afford the documentation of whether thermal stimulation on meridian points can be effective for enhanced recovery after spine surgery.
