Abstract

The aim of this study is to know about condition of alternative medicine. Methods which An literature search in Pubmed January 2000 to March, 2010 was performed. RCT(Randomized Controlled Trial), CCT(Controled Clinical Trials), and OD(efficacy studies with either a controlled or an Other than controlled Design) were included. PubMed databases were searched using key terms relating to alternative medicine. 19 clinical trials were included among 682 studies searched. RCT was 44%, CCT was 16% and OD was 40% in the review. In the all of included studies, the acupuncture and the massage was the biggest part. The using rate was 20% of pain control about Disease of the Musculoskeletal system and Connective tissue, 15% of Certain infectious and parasitic diseases, and 15% of Neoplasms. There was lack of evidence that alternative medicine was effective for progress. Future well-designed clinical trials is needed.

본 연구는 2000년 1월부터 2010년 3월까지 Pubmed에 게재된 논문 중, alternative medicine 으로 검색하여 근거중심 대체의학에 대한 연구 현황을 알아보고자 문헌고찰을 하였다. 682편의 연구 중 대체의학에 관한 임상연구는 19개였으며 연구전체 대상자는 2,573명이었다. 논문분석 결과 RCT(Randomized Controlled Trial) 실험 설계연구가 44%였으며 CCT(Controlled Clinical Trials)가 16%, OD(efficacy studies with either a controlled or an Other than controlled Design) 40%였다. 가장 많은 임상실험이 시행된 중재 방법은 Acupuncture과 Massage 였다. 대상 질병군 분포는 근골격계 및 결합조직의 질환과 관련된 '통증 완화'에 대한 임상연구가 20%, 다음으로 특정 감염성 및 기생충성 질환, 신생물이 각각 15% 순이었다. 근거중심 대체의학 현황을 파악하고자 문헌 고찰한 결과 대체의학을 통한 중재가 질병치료에 효과가 있는지에 대한 과학적 근거를 제시한 임상연구가 부족하다. 대체의학의 품질, 안정성, 유효성 확보를 위해 대체의학에 대한 질 높은 연구필요하며 근거중심 대체의학의 활성화가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.
