Objectives The purpose of this study is to understand the formation of Jogakdaehwang-tang(JD-T)'s patholoy and the compositional change of it in Sasang Constitutional Medicine(SCM). Methods The pathologic condition in which JD-T was used and the change of its composition was studied in SCM Results and Conclusions 1. Jogak and Daehwang in "Dongmuyoogo Haedong" were presented with Ungdam because of the common purpose flowing the energy of lung. Therapeutic method for exogenous Ungibyeong in "Dongyisusebowon sangchobongwon" was subdivided into Hangwul's treated by Ungdam, and the heat pattern featuring contagious cold and constipation, treated by Jogakhwanggeumdaehwang-tang(JHD-T). 2. JD-T in "Dongyisusebowon Gabogubon" was used for Yangdok and Onbyeong which are exogenous disease causing by heat. The composition of JD-T has been completed as it included Mahwang, Gilgyeong, and Seungma derived from prescriptions relevant with Yangdok. 3. JD-T in "Dongyisusebowon Sinchukbon(Sinchukbon)" was included in pathology of Ganyeol, and it substituted Galgeunhaegi-tang(GH-T) for Onbyeong, not for Yangdok, so Galgeun and Seungma became the main drug in JD-T. Galgeunseung-gitang(GS-T) was created for treating heat pattern owing to Daehwang, its main drug, and moreover Jogak's effect is too strong. Therefore, Mahwang, Hwanggeum and Gilgyeong was excluded from the composition of JD-T. 4. The origins of JD-T could be Yiseonggugo-hwan, Daesiho-tang, Jowiseungchung-tang, Heukno-hwan, and GH-T. The change of JD-T went for them throughout JHD-T to JD-T. JD-T in "Sinchukbon" consists of Galgeun and Daehwang which directly gets rid of severe heat from small intestine, and Jogak and Seungma which help to eliminate mild heat existing from small intestine throughout nose to flesh.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to review and analyze the trends in prospective clinical research (PCR), project, clinical study protocol of Korean medicine (KM) for dementia. Methods: We searched PCRs of KM on dementia in six electronical databases, up to January 28, 2021. Moreover, the clinical research protocol and projects of KM for dementia were searched. Results: Total eight PCRs, nine projects, and three clinical study protocols were included. In the PCRs, there were one randomized controlled trial, five before and after study, and two comparative group before-after studies. Four of them used herbal medicine, two used acupuncture, one study used both herbal medicine and acupuncture, and the other one used moxibustion. Jowiseungchung-tang was the most frequently used herbal medicine. BL62, KI6 were used in electro-acupuncture, auricular-Shenmen in auricular acupuncture, and GV20 in moxibustion. The most frequent outcome was Korean-Dementia Rating Scale (K-DRS). One reported significant increase in K-DRS score, one reported 60% improvement, and the other studies mostly reported no significant difference. In the projects including 20 clinical studies of dementia, herbal medicine, integrative medicine and acupuncture were mainly used. In the protocols, herbal medicine, complex KM intervention, and integrative medicine were used. Conclusions: Currently, the number of PCRs of KM for dementia is very scarce. Therefore, the researcher's interest in this field and national research support should be made more, and the quality of clinical research in the future can be further improved by supplementing the limitations of previously published clinical research.
