목 적: 상열감과 발한과다는 갱년기 증후군의 대표적 증상이다. 본 연구에서는 약침을 이용한 수화조절법을 사용하여 갱년기 증후군 환자의 상열감과 발한과다 증상 감소에 유의한 효과를 얻어 이를 보고하고자 한다. 방 법: 황련해독탕 약침을 양측 견정(GB21), 풍지(GB20) 혈에 각각 0.1 cc씩 총 0.4 cc를 주입하고, BUM(웅담, 우황, 사향)약침은 전중(CV17), 중완(CV12), 기해(CV16)혈에 각각 0.05cc씩 총 0.15cc를 주입한다. 시술은 매일 시행하였으며, 증상에 관하여 상열감점수(Hot flush score), 발한에 대한 Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) 및 발한 부위를 기록하여 증상변화 정도를 평가하였다. 결 과: 1번 증례는 약침 수화조절법 시행 후 상열감점수는 24에서 4로, 발한에 관한 VAS는 7에서 2로 감소하였다. 상열감 및 발한과다 증상의 감소와 더불어 손발이 화끈거리는 증상도 함께 감소되었다.2번 증례는 약침 수화조절법 시행 후 상열감점수가 28에서 2로, 발한에 관한 VAS는 10에서 3으로 감소하였다. 상열감 및 발한과다 증상의 감소와 더불어 불안, 우울, 분노 증의 정서적 증상도 70%정도 감소하였다.3번 증례는 약침 수화조절법 시행 후 상열감점수가 8에서 1로, 발한에 관한 VAS는 6에서 1로 감소하였다. 상열감 및 발한과다 증상의 감소와 더불어 두통, 가슴 답답함 등의 증상도 함께 소실되었다.모든 증례에서 발한 부위의 변화는 없었다. 결 론: 본 증례에서 약침을 이용한 수화조절법은 갱년기 상열감과 발한과다 증상을 감소시키는 효과가 있었으며 부가적으로 호소하던 증상도 감소하거나 소실되는 효과가 있었다. 그러므로 약침을 이용한 수화조절법은 상열감과 발한과다를 호소하는 갱년기 증후군 환자에게 효과적인 치료법이라 사료된다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to report the clinical effectiveness of Korean medicine treatment on postmenopausal syndrome. Methods: The patient with postmenopausal syndrome with palpitation was treated with Korean medicine treatment during 14 days of hospitalization. The patient received Korean medicine treatment including herbal medicine, acupuncture and moxibustion. The effect of treatment on postmenopausal syndrome was evaluated through the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and questionnaire. Palpitation and arrhythmia was evaluated by Electrocardiogram (ECG) and manual pulse diagnosis three times a day. Result: After the treatment, the clinical postmenopausal symptoms of palpitation and hot flush were improved. Also, ECG's result was improved ventricular premature contraction to normal ECG. Conclusions: This case report proved that the Korean medicine treatment may be effective for improving postmenopausal syndrome with palpitation and hot flush. However, further clinical study is needed in the future to prove the effectiveness of Korean medicine treatment for postmenopausal syndrome with palpitation and hot flush.

We randomly divided women into two groups, We treated one group with red ginseng capsule, and treated another group with placebo for 2 months. patients recorded the frequency of the hot flush on an everyday basis. And we measured temperature of patient's face by DITI. Results: Red ginseng and Placebo treated group significantly decreased the frequency of the hot flush. After treatment, the temperature on the cheekbones who treated by red ginseng get lower than before treatment. But there is no statistically difference between red ginseng and placebo. Conclusion: This study shows that both red ginseng and placebo have remarkable effects on patients, but red ginseng is not better than placebo.

Objectives: This clinical trial is performed to investigate the effect of improving the menopausal symptoms and the safety of extract obtained from Pueraria thunbergiana Bentham and Curcuma longa L. in menopausal women Methods: This study was randomized, double blinded, placebo-controlled clinical trial. 110 women with menopausal symptoms were assigned to treatment group (n=55) and control group (n=55). The results of this study were evaluated through changes in Kupperman Index score, Menopause-specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (MENQOL) score, degree of hot flashes and sweating, Body Mass Index(BMI), laboratory test results including female hormones. Results: In the treatment group compared to before baseline, there was significant difference in the Kupperman Index total score, score of each item in the Kupperman Index, MENQOL total score, hot flush and sweating visual analogue scale (VAS), hot flush score, and hot flush duration at one time. However, there was also a significant change compared to baseline in the control group, there was no significant difference between the treatment group and the control group. There was no significant change in female hormone levels in both group, and there were no adverse events associated with the clinical trial product. Conclusions: This clinical trial showed that extract obtained from Pueraria thunbergiana Bentham and Curcuma longa L. was helpful in improving menopausal symptoms in menopausal women without significant side effects.

대두 이소플라본 성분의 유방암 항암성과 다양한 폐경기 증상의 완화 효능을 분석하고자 유방밀도와 안면홍조현상의 억제능을 생체 마커로 설정하였다. 중재 유형으로 대두, 적클로버, 승마 등에서 정제된 이소플라본과 대두의 조추출액을 설정하여 지난 15년간의 관련 논문을 색인, 40여 편의 중재논문을 선별하였다. 이소플라본의 효과는 유방영역, 밀집, 비밀집 영역, 홍조의 심화도, 발생 빈도, 혈관질환성 등을 종속변수로 설정, 복용량, 복용기간, 복용시기, 폐경 여부 등의 요인에 따른 항암 효과를 비교분석하였다. 그 결과 중재유형별로 유방밀도와 안면홍조의 억제효능에서 전자는 대두 추출물에서, 후자는 정제된 이소플라본에서 현저하게 강한 효능이 나타났다. 종속변수로써 유방밀도는 밀집영역과 음영백분율에서는 양성적 효능이 인정되었고, 안면홍조에서는 홍조의 심화도에 비해 발생빈도가 현저히 억제되었다. 유방 밀도와 안면홍조에 강한 억제 효능이, 복용량에서는 50 mg/일 이상 100 mg/일 미만, 복용기간은 1년 정도가 가장 효율성이 높은 노출기간으로 판정되었다. 특히 폐경 전이 폐경후보다 유방밀도와 안면홍조의 억제효과가 더 강하게 나타났다. 이상의 결과 포괄적인 메타분석에서 유방밀도는 이소플라본에 의해 2%가 억제되어 효능이 약하였지만 안면홍조는 23%의 강한 억제효능이 있는 것으로 해석되었다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study is to analyse the domestic trends of Traditional Korean Medicine on Hot flush in menopausal women. Methods: We searched six databases and selected relevant papers according to the criteria. Results: 12 papers included case report, literature review, randomized controlled clinical trials (RCTs), Non-RCTs, and retrospective chart analysis study design. 1. The daily diary, Kupperman's Index, Menopause Rating Scale, Menopause-specific Quality of Life Questionnaire, Digital Infrared Thermographic Imaging were used as a measure of the symptoms of hot flush. 2. There were significant correlations between Thermographic images, Pulse energy, Lifestyle Habits, Low frequency power/High frequency power (LF/HF) ratio and certain items of Menopausal Symptoms Measurement. 3. The case report using Er-Xian decoction and Hwangryunhaedoktang-Gamibang showed significant effect. 4. Domestic RCT studies using herbal or acupuncture treatments showed a significant value of 3.4 on average in the quality assessment conducted in the study. However, the number of domestic studies included was five, which is not enough compared to foreign countries. Conclusions: This study examined domestic research trends on hot flushes of menopausal women and found that various evaluation tools and diagnostic methods were applied. It is necessary to conduct various RCT studies in Korea, where the number of studies is insufficient compared to overseas.
