Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic degenerative disorder of the central nervous system. It has no cure, but current treatments can relieve symptoms and maintain quality of life. As PD progresses, controlling its symptoms becomes difficult. Here, we present the treatment of two patients with idiopathic PD using traditional Korean medicine (TKM) and temporomandibular joint balancing therapy (TBT). We measured the progress of the two patients using the unified PD rating scale (UPDRS) and the Hoehn and Yahr (HY) scale. Combined treatment of TKM and TBT decreased the total UPDRS score from 52 to 26 after 21 days in case 1, while it decreased the total UPDRS score from 91 to 65 after 20 days in case 2. In both patients, the HY scale score was maintained at 3, and no adverse events were observed. Thus, the combined treatment of TKM and TBT can produce a treatment response in PD patients.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to find out the effect of Postural Yinyang Correction of TMJ(Functional Cerebrospinal Therapy; FCST) on Bell's palsy. Methods : We reviewed the medical records of 41 patients who were treated for Bell's palsy at the Dept. of Acupuncture and Moxibustion, Dong-Eui University from January $1^{st}$, 2016 to August $31^{st}$, 2016. The patients were divided into 2 groups: Group A(n=21), and Group B(n=20). Patients in Group A were treated by Korean Medical Treatments with FCST using ABA(Accurate Balancing Appliance), a standard intra-oral appliance. Patients in Group B were treated by Korean Medical Treatments without FCST. To estimate the efficacy in recovering palsy, we analyzed the House-Brackmann Grading Scale and Yanagihara's Unweighted Grading System. Results : In both groups, H-B grades were improved significantly during each period except the period from the first visit to one week later(P01). The improvement of H-B grade during each period in Group A is higher than Group B except the period from one week later to two weeks later, but statistically insignificant. In Group A, Y-score was significantly improved during each period except during P01. In group B, Y-score was significantly improved during each period except during P01 and the period from the first visit to two weeks later. The improvement of Y-score during each period in Group A is higher than Group B, but statistically insignificant. Conclusions : FCST using Standard Intraoral Appliance may be helpful in treating Bell's Palsy, but the further researches are needed.

Objectives: It has been reported to continue that temporomandibular joint balancing medicine (functional cerebrospinal therapy; FCST) is effective in treating incurable diseases in clinic recently. FCST is based on the results of restricted cervical rotation test, it means that the results of restricted cervical rotation test has a very high reliability on test results. Methods: This study has the aim to understand restricted cervical rotation test method and to use well with high technical skill. So manual muscle test method which was based on the upper limb lifting resistance test method are compared with restricted cervical rotation test method and had been discussed. Results: Results are that restricted cervical rotation test by using the passive motion of arrested persons (patients) have high the reliability and accuracy. Conclusions: It is concluded that restricted cervical rotation test is the new type of manual muscle tests and the results of test are very high the reliability and accuracy so that the acquirement of test method is helpful in clinic practically.

본 증례에서는 발병일 이후 약 1년간 경구 약물 및 구강 세척액 등 서양의학적 처치를 지속하였으나 증상의 개선이 보이지 않던 설통 환자를 대상으로 FCST를 병행한 약침, 침, 한약 등 한방치료를 적용하여 설통이 소실되는 변화를 관찰하였다. 이에, 설통 치료에 있어서 한의학 치료가 구강 및 혀의 통증 개선, 설 색의 변화 등에 효과가 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to report the effect of Korean medical treatment with FCST and Miniscalpel-Acupuncture on patient with cervical dystonia. Methods: In this study, A patient with cervical dystonia was admitted to ◯◯ Korean medicine Hospital from Oct 20th, 2020 to Nov 28th, 2020. During the admission period, the patient was treated by Korean medical treatment (acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, herb medicine, etc.), especially using FCST and Miniscalpel-Acupuncture. The Toronto Western Spasmodic Torticollis Rating Scale (TWSTRS), the Tsui score and CDIP (Cervical Dystonia Impact Profile)-58 were used for measuring the Cervical Dystonia. Results: After treatment for 40 days, the TWSTRS showed a decrease from 52.75 to 13.75, the Tsui score also decreased from 17 to 3 and the CDIP-58 score decreased from 64.1 to 25.5. Conclusions: These results showed that Korean medical treatment especially using FCST and Miniscalpel-Acupuncture may have an effect on reducing symptoms of cervical dystonia. But the further researches are needed.

본 증례에서는 후천성으로 나타난 경련성 사경증 2례에 대해 외래 진료로 각각 3개월(91일간 54회), 5개월 반(167일간 90회)동안 FCST의 음양균형장치를 주 치료수단으로 하고 침구치료, 도수치료, 약물치료를 보조 치료수단으로 하여 치료하였다. 2례 모두 시각적 상사 척도(VAS)를 적용하여 평가해보았을 때 완전한 호전이 이루어졌다고 판단되었고, 임상적 관찰과 환자의 주관적 구술에서도 모든 증상의 소실과 정상 회복을 확인하고 치료를 종료하였다. 이후 각각 5개월에서 10개월 간 추적 관찰한 결과 모두 정상적인 생활을 하고 있음을 확인하고 치료 효과의 정상 유지를 관찰했다. 이로써 아탈구된 상부경추와 뇌신경계 및 경락체계의 불균형과 경련성 사경의 유의한 관련성을 유추해볼 수 있었으며, 이의 회복에 음양균형장치를 활용하여 악관절의 다차원적인 이상적 음양중심균형위치를 찾아줌으로써 척추를 비롯해 뇌와 경락체계를 조절해줄 수 있다는 FCST의 치료원리가 유의한 결과로 입증된 경우라 사료된다.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to examine whether or not Postural Yinyang Correction of TMJ(Temporomandibular joint) using Standard intraoral appliance could decrease chronic low back pain. Methods : We reviewed the medical records of 40 patients with TMJ disorder aged from 30 to 70 years from 124 patients who were treated in chronic low back pain at Department of Acupuncture & Moxibustion of Korean Medicine Hospital of Dong-Eui University from November $1^{st}$, 2015 to June $5^{th}$, 2016. The patients were divided into 2 groups: Group A and Group B. In Group A, we treated the patients with acupuncture, sweet bee venom treatment and FCST(Functional Cerebrospinal Therapy) through Standard intraoral appliance from ABA(Accurate Balancing Appliance), Full body exercise therapy, and Upper cervical alignment balance therapy. In Group B, we treated the patients with acupuncture and sweet bee venom treatment. To estimate the effectiveness in controlling pain, we analyzed the Visual analog scale(VAS). To evaluate functional change of patients, we analyzed the Oswestry low back disability questionnaire(ODI). Results : In both groups, VAS and ODI decreased significantly. In the VAS, the result of Group A is significantly more effective than that of Group B. In the ODI, the result of Group A is statistically less effective compared to that of Group B, but not significantly. Conclusions : According to the results, Postural Yinyang Correction of TMJ using Standard intraoral appliance may be effective treatment for low back pain, but the further researches are needed.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of Temporomandibular joint Balance Appliance for Golf (TBA-G) of Functional Cerebrospinal Therapy (FCST) on golf driver head speed and back muscle power. Methods: Twenty-one participants that had a golf career of 4 years or more were involved. We measured golf drive head speed and back muscular strength before and after applying TBA-G in the mouth. A paired t test or Wilcoxon singed rank test was performed to identify the difference of effect between before and after applying TBA-G, using IBM SPSS 19.0. We considered difference significant at P<0.05. Results: Driver head speed increased significantly by 2 mph (1.99%) after applying TBA-G [from $100.52{\pm}9.82$ mph ($mean{\pm}SD$) to $102.52{\pm}10.43$ mph, P<0.001]. Back muscular strength also increased by 7.28 kg (5.60%) [from $129.90{\pm}28.31$ kg to $137.18{\pm}28.81$ kg, P<0.001]. In stratification analysis, a more significant increase was found in the drive head speed and back muscular strength of groups of males with weight more than 69kg, with height more than 175cm, and with golf experience more than 7 years, compared to those of other groups. Conclusions: The results suggest that TBA-G could improve golf drive head speed and back muscular strength.
