Abstract
Objectives: One of the most important and difficult things in SaSang Constitution Medicine is to diagnose and classify constitution. So there have been a lot of methods and tools to diagnose and classify it. We have attempted to show the reliability and clinical application of the QSCC Ⅱ (Questionnaire for the Sasang Constitution Classification Ⅱ), comparing with our own clinical research. Methods: We surveyed information from QSCC Ⅱ and compared QSCC Ⅱ' s reliability with clinical research of 54 patients' constitution(men 24, women 30). Results: Taeeum-in is the most commonly reported constitution by clinical research, and the next is Soeum-in. Soyang-in is the most commonly reported constitution by QSCC Ⅱ and the next is Taeeum-in. In Taeeum-in and Soeum-in' s items of QSCC Ⅱ, these matched those of the clinical research. Soyang-in' s items of QSCC Ⅱ did not match. Conclusions: The efficiency of QSCC Ⅱ is higher than clinical research in Taeeum-in, Soeum-in. But lower than clinical research, Soyang-in and Taeyang-in have no reliability in QSCC Ⅱ. So Soyang-in and Taeyang-in require alternative complementary studies in the future.
