Objectives: Despite the importance of Non-pharmacological interventions for Eating Disorders, no meta-analysis providing definite conclusions in this field has been reported. The purpose of the this study was to conduct meta-analysis of Non-pharmacological interventions for the improvement of eating disorders. Methods: We searched the Koreamed, KISTI, KMBASE, RISS and KISS and so on up to October 2017 using search terms such as ((Eating disorders OR anorexia OR binge) AND (Mediation OR program OR treatment OR therapy OR technique)) in Korean. Results: Initial searches yielded 602 citations. Of these results, seven met selection criteria. Interventions reduced the risk of binge eating disorder (standardised mean difference [SMD] -2.133, 95% CI -3.107~-1.159). Interventions reduced drive for leanness (-1.857, -3.143~-0.571), body dissatisfaction (-1.357, -2.238~-0.477), depression (-0.745, -1.298~-0.192), but not physical function (0.191, -0.089~0.471). Conclusions: The results from this study indicate that Non-pharmacological Interventions may help Eating disorders' binge eating, drive for thinness, body dissatisfaction, depression. However, larger-scale studies are needed to confirm this conclusion.

Background: Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) including laser acupuncture (LA) has been widely used to treat chronic low back pain (CLBP), but there is no critically appraised evidence of the potential benefits. The purpose of this protocol for a systematic review was to enable the evaluation of the effectiveness of LLLT including LA for non-specific CLBP to identify the potential benefits. Methods: The electronic databases MEDLINE (PubMed), Embase (Ovid), the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Korean medical databases (KoreaMed, KMBASE, KISS, NDSL, KISTI, OASIS), the Chinese database (CNKI), and Japanese databases (CiNII, J-STAGE) are recommended. Results: Randomized controlled trials in LLLT including LA should be included in the searches. All data synthesis and subgroup analyses should be conducted using a Review Manager software. The Cochrane risk of bias tool can be used to evaluate methodological quality of the studies. A risk ratio or mean difference with a 95% confidence interval will show the effects of LLLT including LA. Conclusion: The primary outcome would be pain intensity and functional status/disability due to low back pain. The secondary outcome would be a global measurement of recovery or improvement, quality of life and adverse event.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of low level laser. Methods : We searched 11 electronic databases(Pubmed, CAJ, EMBASE, Medline, Cochrane Library, KMBASE, KISS, KISTI, NDSL, RISS, Oasis) up to March 2019. We included randomized controlled trials(RCTs) using low level laser for alopecia. The methodological quality of each RCT was assessed by the Cochrane risk of bias tool. Results : 8 RCT studies were eligible in our review. The meta-analysis of 2 studies showed favorable results for the use of low level laser with minoxidil 5% than minoxidil 5% and 6 studies showed favorable results for the use of low level laser than placebo light. The results of meta-analysis showed that low-level laser has an efficacy on alopecia. There were no serious side effects or adverse effects. High risk of bias were observed in all studies. Conclusion : Now limited evidence is available to support low level laser for alopecia and further well-designed RCTs should be encouraged.
