  • 아토피 피부염은 학령기 전과 후 아동에서 유병률이 높은 것으로 알려져 있다. 또한 일반인뿐만 아니라 아토피 피부염 환자에서도 보완대체요법의 이용률이 증가하고 있다. 본 연구는 아토피 피부염 아동의 보완 대체요법에 대한 이용 실태를 파악하고 이에 대한 기초 근거를 마련하는데 있다. 연구 대상은 2010년 '서울시 아토피 천식 안심학교' 사업에 참여한 아동으로 6,800명의 아토피 피부염 아동 중에서 무응답을 제외하고 4,985명을 최종분석에 활용하였다. 독립변인은 연령, 가구 월 소득, 수면장애이었고 종속변인은 지난 12개월 동안의 병원 이용 경험, 한의원 이용 경험, 민간요법 이용 경험이었다. 연구결과, 병의원 치료 이용은 76.5%, 한의원(한방병원) 이용은 24.6%, 민간요법 이용은 62.3%, 한의원(한방병원)과 민간요법의 중복 이용은 2.1%, 병의원 치료와 민간요법의 중복 이용은 34.2%, 병의원 치료와 한의원(한방병원), 민간요법의 중복 이용은 18.8%이었다. 그리고 보완대체요법 이용에 영향을 미치는 변인으로는 연령, 가구 월 소득, 수면장애인 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 일부 보호자들은 오랜 통념으로 민간요법이 더 효과적이고 안전하다고 인식하는 경향이 있다. 따라서 보완대체요법에 대한 장단점을 의료진과 상담한 후 이용하는 것이 바람직하다.

  • 목 적 : 본 연구는 소아, 청소년에게 행해지는 보완대체요법 사용실태에 대한 구체적이고, 다각적인 연구의 필요성이 있었기에 보완대체요법을 접할 기회가 많은 만성질환을 가진 소아, 청소년에서 보완대체요법이 어느 정도 사용되고 있는지, 보완대체요법의 종류에 따른 사용실태를 알아보고, 보완대체요법 사용에 영향을 미치는 인자가 있는지 알아보고자 하였다. 방 법 : 2004년 3월부터 8월까지 관동의대 부속병원 소아과에서 지속적 추적관찰을 해오던 입원 경험이 있는 환아들 중에 만성질환(기관지 천식, 아토피, 간질, 뇌성마비 등)을 앓고 있는 환아(160명)를 대상으로 하였고, 환아와 동행한 보호자에게 설문양식에 따라 면담설문을 실시하였다. 결 과 : 설문 조사에 응답한 만성질환을 앓고 있는 환아는 252명이었고, 그 중 보완대체요법을 시행한 160명(63.5%)을 대상으로 삼았다. 각 질환별 보완대체요법 이용률은 선천성 근병증(100%), 아토피성 피부염(91.1%), 만성 반복성 복통(73.5%), 기관지 천식(72.5%), 만성 설사(50.0%), 뇌성 마비(42.1%), 만성 기관지염(37.5%), 간질(17.1%) 순으로 이용률의 차이를 보였다. 시행한 종류는 식이요법(31.1%), 생약요법(23.4%), 수치요법(16.3%), 마사지(14.2%), 방향요법(8.9%), 침술요법(4.6%), 동종요법(1.3%) 순이었다. 64명(40.0%)이 2가지 이상의 보완대체요법을 동시에 시행하였고, 보완대체요법을 권유받은 경로는 비의사처방에 의한 경우가 133명(83.1%)이었으며, 99명(61.9%)이 보완대체요법의 효과에 대해 긍정적으로 답변했다. 보완대체요법 시행군에 있어서 보완대체요법 사용에 영향을 미치는 인자들 중 부모 연령, 자녀 연령이 통계학적 의의가 있었으며, 부모의 연령이 높을수록 시행경험이 많았고(P=0.001), 자녀의 나이가 어릴수록 보완대체요법을 시행하지 않는 경향을(P=0.002) 보였다. 결 론 : 만성질환을 앓는 환아들은 치료에 있어서 현대의학에 의존하는 반면, 상당수가 보완대체요법을 이용하고 있었으며, 2가지 이상을 동시에 사용하는 경우가 많았고, 그 효과에 대해 긍정적으로 평가하고 있었다. 이와 같은 결과는 국내에서 보완대체요법의 접근성이 용이하고, 긍정적인 측면이 강조되고 있기 때문이므로 무분별한 보완대체요법의 사용을 피하기 위해서는 보완대체요법의 효과와 부작용에 대한 현대의학적인 연구가 더 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

  • Objectives: The objective of this review is to investigate the use of conventional Western medicine (WM) and complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) on leg cramps. Leg cramps are the occurrence of muscular spasm in the leg muscles which occur frequently in the elderly and are frequently observed in the clinical field. Methods: Relevant clinical studies were searched from five medical databases including PubMed, KISS, RISS, OASIS, and J-STAGE. Systematic review, clinical studies, and clinical practice guideline were included in this review. Results: In total, 27 clinical studies, 9 systematic review and meta-analysis, and 1 clinical practice guideline met the inclusion criteria. Included studies were classified and analyzed according to the type of intervention. Studies on quinine and magnesium have been most studied in WM and CAM, respectively. Although quinine shows some clinical effects on leg cramps, however, the risk of side effects are suggested. In addition, magnesium failed to improve the clinically significant effects in most studies. Five case reports using Oriental herbal medicine (OHM) were included and OHMs were effective in improving leg cramps without side effects, however, the quality of evidence was low. Clinical studies on other interventions were lacking. Conclusions: The results of this study indicate that there is no definite treatment standard for leg cramps until now, and there are limitations such as low level of evidence and side effects for each treatment. OHM can be an effective alternative to conventional intervention on leg cramps, therefore, related clinical studies are needed.

In recent years, many hospitals have tried to integrate complementary and alternative medicine(CAM) with conventional medical approaches for patients with chronic diseases. Recently, the prevalence of the use of traditional Korean medicine(TKM) among patients with chronic diseases, expecially, hemiplegia patients after cerebrovascular accident is increasing in Korea. To date, however, there were only few studies addressing the patients' attitudes, and utilization of TKM, compared to the well-documented escalating use of TKM among consumers in Korea. Objectives : The objective of this study was to analyze the prevalence of TKM use among hemiplegia patients after cerebrovascular accident and to determine what factors affect to use CAM among the patients. The study also aims to provide information on TKM and assist therapy selection among various CAM therapies for hemiplegia patients after cerebrovascular accident within health care system in which both practitioners of TKM and practitioners of modern Western medicine coexisted. Methods : The design of the study was descriptive cross-sectional, and data were collected using a 32-items questionnaire. The subjects were one hundred fifty nine patients with chronic diseases who visited or admitted to health care facilities in a hospital in Seoul Metropolitan city, Korea. Data were analyzed using 'SPSS Statistics 18.0 Network Version(on release 18.0.1 of PASW Statistics)' program. Various statistical methods were used to obtain a profile for participants and the therapies most frequently used by hemiplegia patients of TKM. Logistic regression analysis was employed in order to determine the predicting variables of TKM use. Results : The prevalence of the use of TKM was 51.6%. The most common TKM therapies used by the patients included acupuncture(93.2%), herbal medicine(64.8%), and cupping(37.5%). Results of logistic regression analysis revealed that the variables significantly related with TKM use were gender, marital status, job, No. of visiting health care facilities/week. Conclusions : This study shows that the use of TKM among the hemiplegia patients is relatively high in Korea, this topic should be taken into account in the development of a holistic approach for patients with chronic diseases and an efficient chronic disease management system in Korea.

  • The medical and healthy paradigm is changing by various reasons such as improving of life quality, the limit of western medicine, demographic changes and so on. And the demand, interest and market size of traditional medicine(TM) and complementary and alternative medicine(CAM) are increasing continuously and there is a good traditional medicine called TKM(Traditional Korean Medicine) in Korea. TKM have differentiated characteristics like nature-friendly, systematic, preventive and personalized medicine from western medicine. TKM with these characteristics have possibility to increase national competitiveness and contribute to growth of economy. At this time, it is necessary to select key area of TKM R&D to increase competitiveness of TKM and to create new growth engine. In this paper, we suggest key area of TKM R&D through SWOT analysis, the analysis of world traditional medicine and expert's counsel. As a result, 3 key area and 10 specific fields of TKM R&D was selected, which they are 'the standardization for TKM technology and technique', 'the development of generic technology based on TKM' and 'the establishment of infrastructure for TKM information and material'. This study may contribute to make plan for TKM research and policy such as TKM middle and long term plan and TKM promotion plan.

  • Backgrounds: The demand of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) including Korean Medicine (KM) is increasing worldwide. But cancer patients (CP) still have a difficulty in gathering CAM information or communicating with their doctors, and clinical status in cancer care is unclear in the field of KM in Korea especially. The aim of this study is to examine clinical status of KM for cancer symptom care by KM doctors in medical service institutions. Methods: Total forty nine KM doctors completed the site survey questionnaire. The questionnaire items were to list chief symptom complaints of CP treated with KM and effective KM therapies. Results: The majority of the respondents were general physicians without KM specialist board (67.4%) who have 10-20 years clinical experience with CP (55.1%). Primary cancer lesion, diagnostic status, and treatment period were not different in KM clinical service institutions. In chief symptom complaints of CP treated with KM, gastrointestinal (32.9%), musculoskeletal (19.9%), circulatory & respiratory (16.2%), psychiatric (14.1%), urinary (5.8%) symptoms were in turn. In effective KM therapies assessed by KM doctors, xerostomia (45.7%) and cancer-related fatigue (44.8%) were more effective with herbal treatments. Peripheral neuropathy (43.4%), depression, insomnia (38.2%), and cancer pain (31.9%) were preferred to treat using acupuncture. Conclusion: The CP treated with KM used evenly KM medical service institutions regardless of hospital size, and there will be further survey for CP treated KM in the future.

  • Objectives : In order to investigate the current status of recent clinical evidence related to complementary and alternative medicine(CAM) treatment for burns and to inform research and treatment strategies for future, we publish a scoping review(ScR) of randomized controlled trials(RCTs). Methods : The research question of the ScR was "Are there any RCTs of CAM treatment for burn?". RCTs published from 2000 to 2022 were identified in 7 databases(PubMed, Cochrane, CNKI, OASIS, RISS, KCI, KMbase) in March 2023. Data were tabulated and analyzed descriptively with respect to the research questions. Results : 41 RCTs were included. 21(51.2%) were conducted in China, 13(31.7%) in Iran. The main treatment criteria were herbal medicine in 28 cases, acupuncture in 9 cases, chuna therapy in 4 cases, and psychotherapy in 3 cases. Among the herbal medicine, there were 19 topical medications, 5 injections(intravenous pharmacopuncture), 4 aerosol drugs(aromatherapy), and 1 oral drug. Among the acupuncture, there were 4 plum blossom needles(seven-star needles), 2 wrist-ankle acupunctures, 2 press needles, and 1 electroacupuncture. CAM treatments were effective in treating burns. It reduced pain and pruritus at the burn site, helped recovery and management of the donor site, reduced anxiety and pain during dressing change, improved hematological problems and vital signs, and finally lowered the mortality rate. CAM treatments also lowered health care costs. Conclusions : CAM treatments for burns is prospective, and that it deserves to make high-quality studies including additional large-scale RCTs.
