Objective : This paper provides a narrative review of the research literature on the neurophysiological and neurochemical mechanisms of local vibration while studying the treatment principles and mechanisms of Whidam's vibrator Sugi therapy. Methods : Searches related to vibration therapy research were conducted in PUBMED using "Vibration", "Whole Body Vibration", "Localized Vibration", and "Focal Vibration". The Conditions were limited to review and systematic review. Results : Roberto Casale's paper was selected as an inquiry task and reviewed critically and narratively by referring to other papers. The stimulation process of local vibration (LV) was broadly classified into receptor transmission (pain reception phase), ascending sensory pathway to the spinal cord (segmental phase), and action of the cortex and subcortical structures (systemic control phase) according to the pain pathway. In addition, the role of C-tactile mechanoreceptors, changes in neurotransmitters and neurohormones, LV stimulation below perception threshold (lower threshold), pain control and kinesiologic illusions were specially addressed. In addition, the expression and function of Piezo Channels were added to supplement the human pain and tactile sensing mechanism. Conclusions : LV exerts pain control mechanisms through different interactions that can interfere with pain transmission and pain perception. Since LV provides sufficient neurophysiological reasons for clinical application, it is necessary to expand the use of Whidam's vibrator Sugi therapy to a wider range of clinical applications.

A total of studies were 133, the first study on yoga for senior published 2001. Average 7 studies were published each year. The number of studies has increased since 2006 and decreased since 2010. 2. About half of the researchers related to art and physical education and sports (51.8%). And researchers related to social science published remarkable number of studies (23.3%). 3. Most of researches were experimental study. Conclusions: 1. Hatha yoga could be recommended as a suitable yoga for senior. 2. There is a growing need to develop yoga for senior in preparation for aging society. Grafting yoga on traditional Gigong practice could be a proper exercise for senior.

The walking training is the most basic training of martial arts training. The walking training to train the muscles of lower body and correction of the pelvis improve the health. And the clinical utilization of high Gigong therapy Because anyone can do it without any restrictions on the equipment and space. I introduce NAEGA-walking training of MOOSIM Gigong as items to popularize Gigong treatment. It proposes a program to supply this walking training. So, seeks to promote and help a lot in the treatment of patients with disease prevention.

Purpose: This study was done to evaluate the effects of Doin Gigong Exercise on the Recovery from Facial Paralysis, pain and anxiety in patients with Bell's palsy. Methods: A nonequivalent control group posttest-only non-synchronized design was used for this study. Participants were contacted at the oriental medicine ward of D hospital in Busan and assigned to either the experimental group (25) or control group (25). Collected data were analyzed for changes in recovery from facial paralysis, in pain and in anxiety between pre and post Doin Gigong Exercise. Data analysis was done using t-test, Fisher's exact test, $x^2-test$ with the SPSS 12.0 Win program. Results: There were significant decreases in the lip paralysis status pain and in anxiety between pre and post Doin Gigong Exercise. Conclusion: The results indicate that Doin Gigong Exercise is effective for patients with Bell's palsy to decrease lip paralysis, pain and anxiety and therefore, an effective intervention for use with patients with Bell's palsy.

Objective : The purpose of this study is to propose adding Wǔjī(五積) to KCD. Methods : The pathological details of Wǔjī(五積) mentioned in the classic literatures were extracted and compiled to provide the basis that Wǔjī(五積) should be registered in the KCD. Conclusions : 1. Jī(積) is a very important pathological and clinically element of Korean Medicine. So not only Shíjī(食積) but also Wǔjī(五積) should be registered in the KCD. 2. We suggest adding Wǔjī((五積) to the U-Code 64~71 of the KCD due to its pathological nature. 3. If Wǔjī((五積) is registered in the KCD, it will provide a more systematic and objective approach to Jī(積) in the future, and it is expected to provide an opportunity to drastically enhance the performance of Korean Medicine treatments for cancer or tumors by forming various and extensive big data. 4. Regardless of whether or not Wǔjī((五積) is added to the KCD, the clinical and pathological re-establishment of Wǔjī(五積) should be performed in accordance with the present period and social situation through continuous and extensive clinical research about Jī(積).

Introduction : In patient with ankylosing spondylitis, when bone formation progresses, spinal fusion occurs and joint motion is severely limited. We performed Medical Gi-gong and Korean medical therapies in patient with advanced ankylosing spondylitis with spinal fusion. Case : 46-year-old male with extensive spinal fusion at the cervical and lumbar spine complains of back pain, hip pain, joint stiffness, eye pain, and digestive problems. HLA-B27 (+), mSASSS is 70. Medical Gi-gong was done 311 days for 340 days. Acupuncture, cupping, and manual treatment were performed once every 5.9 days for one year. BASDAI improved from 5.3 to 4.3, BASFI from 4.3 to 3.7, and BASMI from 6.8 to 5.8. mSASSS did not change. Conclusions : Patients with advanced ankylosing spondylitis were treated with Medical Gigong and Korean medical therapies to achieve a slight improvement.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to report a 67-year-old male patient with Herpes zoster(caseI) and a 38-year-old female patient with Herpes zoster(caseII), whose symptoms were relieved after Korean medicine treatment alone. Methods : Both patients took Yeonryeonggobondan and Pyungwee-san daily. Everytime they came to the hospital, they received acupuncture treatment, Hwidam's Su-Gi therapy and External Gigong Therapy. Acupuncture was applied by gall bladder seunggyeok(膽勝格, GB-), spleen jeonggyeok(脾正格, SP+), large intestine seunggyeok(大腸勝格, LI-) of Saam's Acupuncture Method. Hwidam's Su-Gi therapy was applied on neck. External Gigong Therapy was applied on skin lesion area. the patients' symptoms were evaluated with photographs and VAS. Results : The results were as follows: 1. In the case of a 67-year-old male patient, it took 14 days to recover the skin lesions and to reduce the pain after treatment started. And he visited 13 times during that period. 2. In the case of a 38-year-old female patient, it took 23 days to recover the skin lesions to reduce and the pain after treatment started. And she visited 10 times during that period. 3. Intensive treatment early in treating herpes zoster helped to shorten the treatment period. 4. Taking Yeonryeonggobondan and Pyungwee-san and receiving acupuncture treatment(SP+) can help to improve immunity and recover skin lesions in herpes zoster diagnosed with spleen deficiency with dampness encumbrance(脾虛濕困) and blood stasis due to qi stagnation (氣滯血瘀). 5. The combination of acupuncture treatment(GB-) and External Gigong Therapy was effective in controlling pain. 6. External Gigong Therapy is considered to be effective for the recovery of the skin as well as the pain of the herpes zoster. Conclusions : Korean medicine treatment alone has a great effect on the above two patients with herpes zoster. I hope the active research about Korean medicine treatment will be done not only for herpes zoster but also for various intractable pain diseases.
