  • Obiective : The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of acupuncture treatment for chronic headache patients using power spectrum analysis of the heart rate variability(HRV). Methods : 15 clinical experiment participants were gathered and through a questionnaire patients who experienced headache for more than 4 hours a day and more than IS days per month were qualified as Chronic Headache patients. Treatment was afplied 2 times a weeks for 8 weeks. The acupoints, GV2O, HN23, ST8, HN46, TEl7, GB2O, LI2O, LI11, LI14, ST36, and LR3 were stimulated for 20 minutes. The effects of acupuncture treatment were analyzed using power spectrum analysis of the HRV. HRV was recorded before and after acupuncture treatment. Results : HRV before and after treatment was compared after 8 weeks of acupuncture treatment. Increase in mean values of SDNN and RMSSD were observed but the increases were not statistically significant. Increase in mean values of TP, LF and HF were observed but, the increase was significant(p<0.05) only in TP. Conclusions : The results suggest that acupuncture treatment on chronic headache patients can increase the activity of autonomic nervous system. Further use of HRV for quantitative analysis of acupuncture treatment on autonomic nervous system related symptoms is suggested.

  • 목적 : 경추통에 대한 침구치료의 효과여부가 현재까지 시행된 무작위 대조군 시험의 검토에서 논란이 되고 있는데, 경추통에 대한 치료 효과의 검증에 최근 들어 경추 전만각도의 변화를 측정하는 것이 점차 많이 사용되고 있는 실정이다. 하지만 아직까지 변형된 형태의 경추 견인 등 몇몇 요소들이 경추전만을 변화시켰다는 보고는 있었으나, 침치료 중 深刺의 방법이 경추의 만곡을 변화시켰다는 보고는 없었다. 방법 : 자침의 방법 중 深刻(五刺法 중 合谷刺 또는 關刺)방법이 경추 전만의 변화를 주는가에 대하여 검증하기 위하여 심자 치료를 시행한 19명의 실험군과 치료를 시행하지 않고 단순히 방사선 촬영만 시행한 21명의 대조군의 단순 방사선 사진을 후향적 연구의 방법으로 비교하였으며, 아울러 심자 자침군에서는 VAS를 측정하여 통증의 정도의 변화를 함께 연구하였다. 결과 : 연구결과 자침을 시행하지 않은 대조군에서는 VAS와 경추 전만의 Cobb각도에서 유의성 있는 변화가 나타나지 않았으나, 심자의 방법으로 자침한 군에서는 치료 전후의 VAS가 유의한 차이를 나타내었고, 경추의 전만 각도에서도 경추 2번과 7번 사이의 Cobb의 각도에서 유의성 있는 변화를 나타내었다(p < 0.05). 결론 : 이러한 연구 결과들은 심자의 자침방법이 경주의 통증을 줄여줄 뿐만 아니라 경추의 구조적 변화를 일으킬 수 있음을 나타내 주는 것이다.

  • 구강안면동통 환자의 치료법으로 널리 쓰이는 전기요법은 연조직과 신경계 구조물에 대한 치료 시 중요한 역할을 담당하고 있다. 저자는 현재 구강안면동통의 치료법으로 널리 쓰이고 있는 전기요법들 중 경피성 신경자극(Transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation)과 전기침자극요법(Electroacupuncture stimulation therapy)이 각각의 신경섬유에 미치는 효과를 평가하고자 정상 성인 남녀 29명에게 경피성 신경자극 및 전기침자극을 시행하고 시행 전 및 시행 후 삼차신경 영역의 3가지 종류($A{\beta}$, $A{\delta}$, C fiber)의 신경섬유의 전류인지역치(CPT) 변화를 측정하여 그 차이점을 분석하였으며 이를 대조군과 비교하였다. 경피성 신경자극 및 전기침자극 모두에서 대조군에 비해 삼차신경 영역의 모든 신경섬유에 걸쳐 고른 전류인지역치의 증가를 나타내었으며, 경피성 신경자극과 전기침자극 후의 전류인지역치 변화량은 서로 유의할만한 차이를 나타내지 않았다. 이는 경피성 신경자극 과 전기침자극 모두 3가지 종류($A{\beta}$, $A{\delta}$, C fiber)의 감각신경섬유의 전류인지역치에 영향을 미치며, 구강안면동통의 감소에 효과적으로 사용될 수 있으리라 생각된다.

  • Objectives : The aim of this study is to report the effect of Korean medicine treatment on bilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia without abnormal findings on brain magnetic resonance imaging.Methods : The patient was treated by using acupuncture, electroacupuncture treatment and hominis placenta pharmacoacupuncture. The change of eye movement and strabismus were evaluated by comparison the photographs of the extraocular movements of patient. Strabismus also was evaluated by corneal reflex test.Results : Adduction of both eyes were improved after Korean medicine treatment. The amplitude and frequency of nystagmus showed a tendency to decrease in both eyes.Conclusions : Korean medicine treatment should be effective for the idiopathic bilateral internuclear ophthalmoplegia.

  • Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is a typical myeloid malignancy characterized by cell dysplasia in bone marrow. Currently, there is no therapeutic treatment for MDS. The only available therapies either relieve symptoms or prevent the development of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This study aimed to report the effects of traditional Korean medicine (TKM) on MDS by presenting two case reports. The patient in Case 1 was diagnosed with primary MDS and regularly received acupuncture treatments and herbal medicine. In Case 2, a patient with ovarian cancer was diagnosed with secondary MDS, which resulted from an adverse reaction to chemotherapy. This patient took herbal medicine for four years and was hospitalized three times. In order to have their condition evaluated, both patients underwent regular blood tests. The patient in Case 1, who showed blood transfusion dependency, received only two blood transfusions after TKM treatment, and the person’s health condition was stable as of January 2016 without any signs of AML development. The patient in Case 2 also has stable health condition. TKM treatment effectively treated their MDS symptoms and improved their general health conditions without any adverse effects. It also prevented the rapid development of AML and maximized the effects of conservative therapy.
