Abstract

목 적 : 한약 또는 한약제제의 아토피성 피부염에 대한 치료효과를 조사하고 향후 연구방향을 제시하기 위하여 고찰연구를 시행하였다. 방 법 : PubMed에 한약과 아토피성 피부염과 관련된 검색어의 조합을 넣어 포함기준에 맞는 무작위배정 대조군 임상연구만 포함하였다. 연구설계, 치료방법, 대조군, 평가지표, 결과, 부작용 관련 정보를 미리 정해놓은 자료 추출 형식에 맞추어 추출하고 방법론적 질 평가는 옥스포드 질 평가 척도와 그룹 할당 은닉(allocation concealment) 여부를 평가하였다. 연구들이 임상적 및 통계적으로 상이하여 메타분석은 이루어지지 않고 기술적 고찰만 실시하였다. 결 과 : 모두 8편의 연구가 고찰기준을 만족시켰다. 다양한 복합한약제제와 한약이 포함된 외용제가 평가되었는데 8편 가운데 5편에서 아토피성 피부염의 증상을 호전시키는 것으로 나타났다. 방법론적 질은 대체로 양호한 것으로 나타났으며 일부 효과적인 것으로 나타난 한약복합제제에서 간손상 등의 부작용도 보고되었다. 결 론 : 한약 또는 한약제제를 이용한 치료는 아토피성 피부염의 증상개선에 도움이 되는 것으로 보이나 현재 근거는 부족하다. 우리나라에서 많이 쓰이는 한약제제들 역시 엄정한 임상연구를 거쳐 그 효과를 평가하고 근거를 구축해야 할 것이다.
