Stroke is a leading cause of death in most developed countries and some developing countries including South Korea. It is well known that stroke has is related in some way with several sleep disorders. At first, the onset time of stroke varies according to circadian rhythm. Early morning is the most prevalent time and late evening the least. The changes of blood pressure, catecholamine level, plasminogen activity and aggregation of platelet during sleep have been suggested as possible mechanisms. Sleep apnea (SA), a representative disorder in the field of sleep medicine, is found in more than 70% of acute stroke patients compared to 2-5% of the general population. Various sleep related breathing disorders occur after stroke and snoring is a distinct risk factor for stroke. So the relationship between stroke and SA is obvious, but the cause and effect are still not clearly known. Also, stroke may cause many sleep related problems such as insomnia, hypersomnia, parasomnia and changes in sleep architecture. Patients, family members and even medical personnel often ignore stroke-related sleep problems, being concerned only about the stroke itself. The clinical impacts of sleep problems in stroke patients may be significant not only in terms of quality of life but also as a risk factor or prognostic factor for stroke. More attention should be paid to the sleep problems of stroke patients.

수면과 통증과의 상호 작용은 여러 연구들에 의해 밝혀져 왔고 그 기전에 대해서는 현재도 다양한 연구들이 이루어지고 있으나 앞선 연구들은 대부분 류마티스질환이나 섬유근통과 같은 전신적 질환을 갖는 환자들을 대상으로 하고 있으며 측두하악질환을 포함한 안면통증 환자들을 대상으로 한 연구는 거의 없다. 본 연구에서는 구강내과, 턱관절 및 안면통증 클리닉에 내원한 229명의 측두하악장애 환자를 대상으로 수면설문 및 간이 수면검사를 시행하여 측두하악장애 환자에서의 통증양상과 수면과의 관계를 분석해 보았다. 1. PSQI설문에 의한 수면의 질 평가에서는 통증이 있는 측두하악장애 환자군이 통증이 없는 군에 비하여 수면의 질이 저하된 환자의 비율이 높게 나타났으며 수면의 질이 저하된 정도도 더 크게 나타났다. 특히 통증이 6개월 이상 지속된 만성 측두하악장애 환자에서는 뚜렷하게 수면의 질 저하가 나타났다. 2. ESS설문에 의한 주간졸리움증의 평가에서도 통증이 있는 측두하악장애 환자군이 통증이 없는 군에 비하여 주간졸리움증을 호소하는 환자의 비율이 더 높았으며 6개월이상 통증이 존재하는 만성 측두하악장애 환자군에서 더욱 높았으며 주간 졸리움증의 정도 또한 더 심하였다. 특히 통증이 있는 만성 측두하악장애 환자군 중에서 global PSQI가 5이상인 수면이 저하되어 있는 환자에서만 평균 ESS 수치가 10이상을 기록하여 주간졸리움증의 판단 기준에 해당하였다. 3. 통증의 강도에 따른 수면의 질과의 관련성이나 주간졸리움증과의 관련성의 결과는 상관관계가 없는 것으로 나타났다. 4. 수면관련 호흡장애를 검사하기 위한 간이수면검사기기인 ApnealinkTM를 사용하여 수면시 호흡상태를 측정한 결과 검사를 시행한 총 19명의 환자중 1명만이 수면무호흡저호흡지수(AHI)>5인 수면무호흡증을 나타내었다. 다른 만성통증질환과 마찬가지로 만성통증을 나타내는 측두하악장애 환자에서도 수면의 질이 저하되었으며 주간졸리움증이 심한 것으로 나타났다. 수면장애가 있는 경우 통증에 대한 역치를 낮추고 통증과 수면장애가 순환적인 상호작용을 일으켜 치료를 어렵게 하므로 측두하악질환을 진단하고 관리하는 데 있어 수면설문지를 이용한 수면 상태의 평가는 유용할 것으로 사료된다. 특히 치료가 장기화 되고 치료에 대한 반응이 적은 환자에게 있어서 수면장애에 대한 평가가 반드시 이루어져야 할 것으로 사료된다. 간이수면검사기기 또한 치과에서 진단하기 어려운 호흡관련 수면장애의 초기 검진 시 유용한 도구가 되리라 생각되는 바이다.

Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of Mindfulness & Loving Beingness (M&L) psychotherapy combined with traditional Korean medicine in treating acute sleep disorders in patients hospitalized following traffic accidents. Methods: We applied traditional Korean medicine treatments in conjunction with various mindfulness meditation techniques from M&L therapy, including Resource Mindfulness and Nourishment Brief Therapy. This study was conducted on three patients who reported acute sleep disorder symptoms on the first day of hospitalization following a traffic accident. The effectiveness of these interventions was assessed using the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5-K), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), EuroQol 5-Dimension (EQ-5D), Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), and Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC). Results: ISI and PCL-5-K scores showed significant improvements after treatment, indicating reduced sleep disturbances and stress symptoms. Additionally, EQ-5D and PGIC scores were enhanced, reflecting an overall improvement in quality of life. Conclusions: This study suggests that integrating M&L therapy with traditional Korean medicine could significantly improve symptoms in patients with acute sleep disorders following traffic accidents.

Obesity hypoventilation syndrome (OHS) is defined as the triad of obesity (body mass index, [BMI] ≥ 30 kg/m²), daytime hypercapnia (PaCO2 ≥ 45 mm Hg), and sleep breathing disorder, after excluding other causes for hypoventilation. As the obese population increases worldwide, the prevalence of OHS is also on the rise. Patients with OHS have poor quality of life, high risk of frequent hospitalization and increased cardiopulmonary mortality. However, most patients with OHS remain undiagnosed and untreated. The diagnosis typically occurs during the 5th and 6th decades of life and frequently first diagnosed in emergency rooms as a result of acute-on-chronic hypercapnic respiratory failure. Due to the high mortality rate in patients with OHS who do not receive treatment or have developed respiratory failure, early recognition and effective treatment is essential for improving outcomes. Positive airway pressure (PAP) therapy including continuous PAP (CPAP) or noninvasive ventilation (NIV) is the primary management option for OHS. Changes in lifestyle, rehabilitation program, weight loss and bariatric surgery should be also considered.

Purpose: This article provides an overview of current knowledge on the impact of caregiving on the psychological and physical health of family caregivers of intensive care unit (ICU) survivors and suggestions for future research. Methods: Review of selected papers published in English between January 2000 and October 2015 reporting psychological and physical health outcomes in family caregivers of ICU survivors. Results: In family caregivers of ICU survivors followed up to five years after patients' discharge from an ICU, psychological symptoms, manifested as depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder, were highly prevalent. Poor self-care, sleep disturbances and fatigue were identified as common physical health problems in family caregivers. Studies to date are mainly descriptive; few interventions have targeted family caregivers. Further, studies that elicit unique needs of families from diverse cultures are lacking. Conclusion: Studies to date have described the impact of caregiving on the psychological and physical health in family caregivers of ICU survivors. Few studies have tested interventions to support unique needs in this population. Therefore, evidence for best strategies is lacking. Future research is needed to identify ICU caregivers at greatest risk for distress, time points to target interventions with maximal efficacy, needs of those from diverse cultures and test interventions to mitigate family caregivers' burden.

두통은 인류의 가장 흔한 호소 중의 하나로 임상에서 흔히 보는 장애이다. 두통은 뇌막염, 뇌출혈, 또는 뇌종양과 같은 다른 질환의 증상일수 있으나, 또한 편두통이나 군발두통 등과 같은 질병 자체로 표현된다. 일차적으로 두통 장애의 역학이나 국제 두통학회의 진단기준을 이해하고 흔치 않으나 심각한 이차적인 두통장애와 감별에 관심을 둬야 한다. 환자가 일차 두통장애의 기준에 맞으면 신경학적 진단검사의 보충이 없어도 치료를 시작한다. 두통 유형, 표현 양상, 동통기간과 강도 등에 따라 진통소염제나 혼합진통제, 혈관작용의 항편두통 약물 또는 신경이완제나 corticosteroid등을 선택한다. 편두통의 빈도와 강도에 따라 예방치료가 보통 4~6개월간 조절한다. 긴장형 두통은 발작성과 만성두통으로 구분되나 치료적으로는 급성완화와 예방치료로 시도된다. 많은 만성매일두통 환자들이 진통제나 ergotamine을 과용하고 있으며 그들의 의존성과 내재된 갈등조절, 수면장애, 우울등으로 과용된 약물의 제한이 쉽지 않다. 치료의 첫단계는 약물을 끊고 조심스럽게 대치요법을 시행한다.
