This study was designed to prove the effect of the Daoyin exercise therapy combined with complex korean medicine treatment on pain and function improvement of low back pain patients. A retrospective observational study. 30 low back pain patients, checked numeric rating scale(NRS) over 5, were treated with the Daoyin exercise therapy combined with complex korean medicine treatment. NRS, roland & morris disability questionnaire(RMDQ), range of motion(ROM), isokinetic muscle strength, and euroqol five demension questionnaire(EQ-5D) were checked to evaluate patients. The Daoyin exercise therapy combined with complex korean medicine treatment reduced NRS $5.67{\pm}1.40$ to $3.73{\pm}1.72$, improved RMDQ $10.33{\pm}4.91$ to $8.17{\pm}5.40$, strengthened lumbar muscle's peak torque and improved EQ-5D $0.56{\pm}0.20$ to $0.63{\pm}0.15$ and euroqol visual analogue scale(EQVAS) $46.80{\pm}19.95$ to $57.50{\pm}19.93$ but had no effect on ROM. NRS decreased significantly as the number of trials increased. No one had serious adverse reactions. As described above, the Daoyin exercise therapy combined with complex korean medicine treatment can help reducing low back pain, improving lumbar function, strengthening lumbar muscle power and stamina and improving quality of life of low back pain patients.

A 42-year-old patient with functional dyspepsia had suffered from early satiation and postprandial fullness for 1 year despite Western medicine treatment. We treated her with the Spleen Daoyin method, along with acupuncture, moxibustion, and herbal medicine and scored her symptoms using a 4-point Functional Dyspepsia-related Quality of Life (4p-FD-QoL) questionnaire, the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS), and a visual analogue scale (VAS). A 7-day Spleen Daoyin treatment decreased her 4p-FD-QoL score from 61 to 51, with a marked decrease in the emotional part (18 to 10). Her GSRS score did not change, but her bloating score decreased from 3 to 1. Her VAS score decreased from 6.6 to 4.3 for upper abdomen discomfort, but lower abdomen discomfort was unchanged. The patient showed high compliance and satisfaction with exercise therapy and reported no adverse events. Spleen Dayoin may be a useful therapy for functional dyspepsia, especially when accompanied by psychological problems.

Methods: An online survey was conducted to all members who had registered e-mail address in the association of Korean medicine from 1 to 17 November, 2016. Statistical analysis was performed and odds ratio with 95% confidence interval were calculated by each subgroup. Results: A total of 743 members answered the questions and the response rate was 4.1%. The priorities for expanding health insurance benefits were as follows: thermographic imaging, Sasang constitution typing test, and pulse wave among examinations; pharamacopuncture, embedding acupuncture, and acupotomy among procedures; Chuna manual therapy, manual therapy for meridian muscle, and Daoyin exercise therapy among manual therapies; low-frequency electrical therapy, traction, paraffin bath, and light therapy among physical therapies; and aromatherapy, enema therapy, and color therapy among activities of KM. Conclusions: It should be covered by the national health insurance (NHI) of KM that thermographic imaging, pharmacoacupuncture, Chuna manual therapy, low-frequency electrical therapy, aromatherapy as a top priority. We also suggest that basic medical tests, such as blood, urine, or imaging, should be included in the coverage of the NHI of KM. It is necessary to review the expertise and public opinions about the plans and priorities for the conversion of the desired medical services to be covered by the NHI.

Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of postoperative Korean rehabilitation treatment for patients with musculoskeletal disorders. Methods The medical records of patients undergoing Korean medical rehabilitation after a musculoskeletal surgery, from January 1, 2016, to December 31, 2019, were analyzed retrospectively. The effect of treatment was evaluated by using a numeric rating scale (NRS) and questionnaire for each surgical site. When the same patient was re-admitted after discharge, it was treated as the same case if it was within 7 days from the discharge date; otherwise, it was treated separately. If the period of hospitalization was within 7 days or the chief complaint was not related to musculoskeletal surgeries, the case was excluded. Results In total, 480 cases were included in this study. Acupuncture (99.8%), moxibustion (95.6%), cupping (97.5%), Chuna manual therapy (81.5%), Korean medical physiotherapy (61.0%), Daoyin exercise therapy (26.3%), and herbal medicine (87.7%) were used as the Korean medical rehabilitation treatments. A significant improvement was noted when comparing the NRS and questionnaire results for each surgical site at the time of admission and discharge. Conclusions Korean medical rehabilitation can be effectively used for patients who have undergone musculoskeletal surgeries, to relieve pain and enable returning to daily activities. However, further research with a high level of evidence is necessary to support this finding.

Background : Qigong is an exercise therapy based on the principles of Traditional East Asian Medicine. The exercises combine the practice of motion and breathing, both guided by mental imagery. Beneficial effects of qigong have been reported on a variety of complaints in chronically ill patients and on gait imbalance in the elderly. Parkinson's disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects neurophysiological function, movement abilities, and quality of life. Objectives : We developed a qigong program based on the Traditional East Asian medical theory regarding the improvement of clinical symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Methods and Results : Our qigong program consists of three parts. The first one includes movements which stimulate the meridians that run from the toes to the top of the head. The second one is composed of breathing and qigong movements that create harmony and balance with the circulation of Qi and blood on the Meridians. The third is a stage of finger pressure therapy and massage from Daoyin medical qigong to maintain meridian stability. Conclusions : These qigong program would help relieve the clinical symptoms of Parkinson's disease patients.

"포박자내편(抱朴子內篇)"의 주요 내용은 도(道)와 일(一)과 현(玄)을 중심으로 한 우주본체론을 중심으로 전개되는 신선이론과 '사람마다 도를 닦아 선을 이룰 수 있다'는 주장의 근거가 되는 '신선존재의 논증' 문제, 도교법술(道敎法術), 그리고 연단술(煉丹術)을 설명하는 고대과학(古代科學)등으로 이루어져 있다. 다시 말해서 "내편(內篇)"은 신선(神仙)의 도(道), 선인(仙人)이 되기 위한 약의 처방, 귀신요괴 변화의 여러 가지 상(相), 불노장수(不老長壽)를 얻는 방법 그리하여 사악(邪惡)을 벗어나고 화(禍)를 피하는 방법을 서술하고 있다. 이렇게 "내편"은 신선이론을 바탕으로 하는 양생사상, 수도(修道)의 철학적 함의 그리고 그 신비주의적 종교의 근거를 제시하고 있다. "내편"은 선진시대의 도가철학과 진한시대와 위진시대를 아우르는 신선사상을 종합하여 현실적으로 불노장생의 신선에 도달하는 방법을 구체적으로 제시하였다. 그리고 "내편"은 내단과 외단 도교 수행체계의 전형이 제시되어 있어서 도교(양생)사상사에서 중요한 위치를 점하고 있다. 양생사상은 바로 "내편"의 매우 중요한 내용이고 이는 갈홍이 건립한 신선도교의 중요한 이론적 기초를 이룬다. "내편"은 도교의 양생사상을 한 눈에 살펴볼 수 있다는 점에서 연구의 필요성이 절실하게 요구 된다. 이 논문은 바로 "내편" 속에 나타난 양생사상의 전체 모습을 밝히는 것을 목적으로 한다. 본문에서는 "내편"에 나타난 양생사상의 이론적 기초인 도론(道論), 형신론(形神論), 성명론(性命論), 신선론에 대한 분석 작업을 먼저 진행한 후에 이를 바탕으로 행기법(行氣法), 도인법(導引法), 조식(調息), 폐기(閉氣), 태식(胎息), 복기(服氣), 토납(吐納), 사신수일법(思神守一法), 현일(玄一), 진일(眞一), 금액환단법(金液還丹法), 방중술(房中術) 등의 양생법의 구체적 내용을 하나하나 살펴보았다. 그리고 끝으로 "내편" 양생사상의 특징을 밝혀보고 그 가치를 따져보았다.
