Objectives: The purpose of this study is to find out the characteristics of dysmenorrhea patients with the Inbody test results by Sasang constitutions. Methods: The data from the 541 participants were collected using a structured measurement of menstrual pain. Based on the survey responses, we had 329 women with dysmenorrhea as the test group and 212 women without dysmenorrhea as the control group. The clinical trials subjects were asked to respond to another questionnaire for identifying their constitutional types and undergo Inbody test. Results: The result of a comparison of the test and control groups showed that the DSOM test showed that the scores of blood deficiency, qi stagnation, blood stasis and phlegm were significantly higher in dysmenorrhea. The result of the taeumin's test groups showed that the DSOM test showed that the scores of heat were significantly higher. For the Sasang constitution, there is a difference on the cause of the outbreak. Taeumin from blood deficiency, blood stasis, dampness, heart, kidney, phlegm and lung is associated with dysmenorrhea. Soeumin from blood deficiency, qi stagnation, blood stasis, liver, heart, spleen and phlegm is associated with dysmenorrhea. The ratio of overweight of taeumin was low in blood deficiency and yin deficiency. The ratio of lowweight of soeumin was high in heat. Conclusions: The DSOM test showed that the scores of blood deficiency, qi stagnation, blood stasis and phlegm were significantly higher in dysmenorrhea.

Bojungikki-tang-gamibang is a widely used herbal prescription in traditional medicine in Korea. The aim of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of Bojungikki-tang-gamibang for patients who have pontine stroke. They have problems with type of Qi deficiency(氣虛) in the rehabilitation stage. The type of Qi deficiency caused the dizziness and ataxia for the patients. In this study there are two types of patients. The first case is a patient with dizziness and ataxia because of potine hemorrhage. The second case is a patient who has the same symptoms as the first one but caused by pontine infraction. We treated the two patients with Bojungikki-tang-gamibang. The Improvement of symptom was evaluated by Korean vestibular disorders activities of daily living scale(K-VADL). As a result the degree of dizziness decreased noticeably while other symptoms improved as well. This study suggests that Bojungikki-tang-gamibang may be an effective treatment for patients who suffer stroke with type of Qi deficiency(氣虛) in the rehabilitations stage. However, more cases and methods of diagnosis are required to prove that the oriental medicine, Bojungikki-tang-gamibang can apply to patients universally.

The aim of this study was to report eight patients with dizziness, diagnosed as Qi-dizziness. The cause of Qi-dizziness is seven emotions(七情), and seven emotions induce liver qi depression(肝氣鬱結), spleen deficiency(肝脾不和) and dual deficiency of the heart-spleen(心脾兩虛). Guibisoyo-san($Gu\={i}p\'{\i}xi\={a}oy\'{a}o-s\`{a}n$) modified formula, which can treat the above diagnosis, was given to patients three times a day. To evaluate the therapeutic effect, visual analog scale(VAS) and inconvenience degree (ICD) were examined. After treatment, the VAS score decreased 7.37 points on average and ICD score decreased 1.62 points on average in patients with both peripheral vestibular dizziness and nonvestibular dizziness. This study shows that herbal therapy by traditional Korean medicine has considerable effects on dizziness, regardless of the etiological cause.

Objectives: This study is aimed at assessing the reliability of a standard instrument of diagnosis and assessment for Spleen Qi deficiency pattern questionnaire (SQDQ) and examining the validity of the SQDQ by comparing the pattern identification scores of different groups. Methods: We conducted a survey of 72 participants (60 patients with chronic dyspepsia and 12 healthy subjects) using self-reported questionnaire. Participants were given written consent and this study was performed under the permission of institutional review board of Kyung-Hee university Korean medicine hospital. Results: The reliability and the validity of the questionnaire were inspected. Internal consistency of the SQDQ was excellent. Construct validity analyzed by exploratory factor analysis produced 4 factors, which were selected from eigenvalues that are greater than 1.0. The factor 1, 2, 3 and 4 showed 'fatigue', 'meal', 'diagnosis' and 'figure' respectively. For most of SQDQs' items, there were significant differences observed between the Spleen Qi and the non-Spleen Qi groups. However, the 'emaciation', 'tongue diagnosis' and 'pulse diagnosis' showed no significant differences. Conclusions: The SQDQ restructured in this study may provide a fundamental questionnaire and a further study is required for a more advanced, standardized and statistically proven questionnaire.

Objective : Pattern identification in Korean Medicine is a core value, leading to a quantitative and qualitative increase in related studies. This study aims to identify trends in newly published research and discuss pattern identification. Method : We reviewed studies from 2015 to 2023 using the Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System provided by the Korea Institute of Oriental Medicine. The keywords used were: pattern identification, cold-heat, deficiency-excess, exterior-interior, yin-yang, phlegm-retained fluid, static blood, qi-blood, qi deficiency, blood deficiency, yin deficiency, yang deficiency, and four-constitution. Results : A total of 150 studies met the inclusion criteria. These comprised 84 observational studies, including case reports, 2 experimental studies, and 64 literature reviews. Most studies were published in the Korean Journal of Oriental Physiology and Pathology. On average, 17.1 studies were published annually, although the number of studies has decreased over the years. Network analysis revealed that the main keyword in titles was pattern identification (n=122), followed by study (n=68) and patients (n=34). Conclusion : These findings highlight trends in studies related to pattern identification, with a focus on its standardization. Considering the limitations of pattern identification, a shift towards a disease-centered approach is recommended.

Objectives The objective of this study is to examine the interpretability of the questionnaire-based pattern identification in terms of biosignals. For this purpose, we investigate the relationship between electrochemical skin conductance (ESC) and Qi-Blood-Yin-Yang Deficiency Questionnaire (QBYY-Q) in diabetic patients. Methods A total of 40 patients with diabetes mellitus answered the QBYY-Q and their ESC were measured by SUDOSCAN device (a diabetes screening device, France). To analyze the relationship between QBYY-Q and ESC, ANOVA analysis and Scheffe test were performed and Pearson correlation coefficients were obtained. Results Of the 40 diabetic patients, 23 (57.5%) were males and 17 (42.5%) were females. According to the QBYY-Q, 9 patients were classified into Qi deficiency pattern (QD), 9 patients were Blood deficiency pattern (BD), 10 patients were Yin deficiency pattern (YiD) and 12 patients were Yang deficiency pattern (YaD). Demographic information (age, body mass index, duration of illness, etc.), signs of vitality (blood pressure, body temperature, etc.), fasting plasma glucose and glycated hemoglobin were not significantly different in each deficiency pattern. The ESC of the right leg was significantly lower in the BD group compared to the YiD group (p<0.022). Pearson's correlation coefficient was negatively correlated with the BD questionnaire score (r=-0.343, p <0.05). Finally, ESC showed a positive correlation with hemoglobin and erythrocyte levels in all limbs (r=0.483, p<0.01). Conclusions We showed that ESC could be used to classify the Deficiency pattern identifications in diabetic patients. Especially, the ESC was significantly lower in the BD group and was negatively correlated with the BD scores. It implies the potential utility of the ESC to understand the BD in terms of modern biosignals.
