  • Introduction : Interests in personalized medicine or tailored medicine is growing in recent years, but traditional medicine with properties of tailored medicine have already been developing from many parts of the world. In this review paper, we tried to investigate the current research status and characteristics of traditional constitutional medicine by a comparative study. Methods and Material : We compared Sasang medicine from Korea, Ikkando medicine from Japan, Chinese constitutional medicine, Ayurveda from India. We investigated the current research status by searching academic DBs such as Medline, Riss4u, Kiss, CNKI, CINII. Then we examined characteristics of each medicine from various aspects of physiology-pathology-diagnosis-treatment-prevention. Results : We found out that each constitutional medicine is being studied the most in their native land. In addition, after analysing characteristics of these constitutional medicine, we learned that Sasang medicine and Ayurveda were putting emphasis on psychological factors in physiology-pathology-diagnosis-treatment-prevention, while Chinese constitutional medicine and Ikkando medicine were focusing on pathological factors. Discussion : We studied theories of constitutional medicine in various traditional medicine, and verified that Sasang medicine shares similarities and differences with these medicine. We suggest that deeper understandings of other constitutional medicine and attempts at clinical application can lead to advance of Sasang medicine.

  • Objectives: This study aimed to review the characteristics of personalized medicine and Korean medicine, and the correlation between personalized medicine and Korean medicine. Methods: We investigated various studies in PubMed, Scopus and domestic Korean medicine journals. In addition, we discussed the topic based on literature. Results: Western medicine developed as evidence-based medicine. However, its limitations are being reached, so a new paradigm of medicine is needed. As a result, personalized medicine has appeared. Recently, through the development of human genomics, personalized medicine has been researched on the basis of individual genetic characteristics. Korean medicine has developed with a unique holistic approach and treats not the disease itself but the patient's body. Its characteristic is well expressed through syndrome differentiation and treatment. Syndrome differentiation represents the nature of person-centered medicine and becomes the root of personalized medicine. Conclusions: Compared with genome-based personalized medicine of Western medicine, Korean medicine could be classified as syndrome-based personalized medicine. It would be great to apply this characteristic to clinical practices.
