Background and Objectives : Voice therapy has been used as a viable adjuvant to surgery and pharmacological therapy fir the management of voice disorders. The singing voice features a special brand of emotion, intensity, and energy so successful therapeutical approach requires the doctor is able to involve himself into the physical and psychic condition and artistic usage of the voice. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect and utility of singing therapy as an initial treatment for classically trained singers with voice disorders. Material and method : Twenty-one male and fifty-five female classic singers with voice disorders were treated with singing therapy. At first, abdominal breathing, resonant phonation, and relaxation method was trained, then after accessing each patient's singing abilities, treatment methods for each specific problems was applied. The results were compared according to age, sex, treatment duration, part, laryngeal pathology, patient subjective evaluation, perceptual evaluation of voice, and maximal phonation time. Results : Patients subjective evaluation, perceptual evaluation, pathologic findings of larynx, maximal phonation time showed superior results after singing therapy. Conclusion : Singing therapy changes the mode of respiration and phonation and enhances the vocal function and improves the laryngeal pathology, The result of this study indicate that singing therapy is an effective treatment method that laryngologists can use for classical singers with voice disorders.

The purpose of this study was to investigate useful manual therapy techniques for peripheral facial nerve palsy and to propose guidelines to be applied for current manual therapy techniques. Several databases were searched to find manual therapies for facial palsy. These therapies included cervical, and temporomandibular joint chuna manual therapy, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, neuromuscular re-education, facial exercise, and mime therapy. Both cervical, and temporomandibular joint chuna manual therapy release nerve compression, helping blood circulation and nerve conduction. Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation uses irradiation, bilateral activation, and eccentric facilitation to improve muscle power and symmetry. Neuromuscular re-education, as a retraining tool for facial movement patterns, enhances neuromuscular feedback. Facial exercise helps the patient continuously move and massage facial muscle themselves. Mime therapy aims to develop a conscious connection between the use of certain muscles and facial expressions. The use of facial chuna manual therapy for peripheral facial nerve palsy can stimulate the proprioceptive neuromuscular receptors in the face. Peripheral facial nerve palsy has 4 phases; progress phase, plateau phase, recovery phase, and sequelae phase. Each phase needs different treatments which include relaxation, assistance, resistance, origin-insertion extension, and nerve pathway expansion.

2005년 5월 자생한방병원 한방신경정신과에 입원한 환자에 대하여 긴장성 근육통 증후군의 관점에서의 접근을 통해 이완 요법치료를 실시하여 환자 동통 치료에 대하여 양호한 결과를 보였고 환자의 통증 회복 의지에 대한 심리 상태에도 변화가 있었다. 그 결과 다음과 같은 소견을 보였다. 1. 기질적인 원인이 있는 만성 경항부 통증 환자에서 환자의 심리적 상태를 고려한 이완요법을 병행하여 통증 지각 감소와 심리적 자신감 회복에 양호한 결과를 보였다. 2. 긴장성 근육통 증후군에서의 환자의 내재되어 있는 심리상태가 통증을 일으킨다고 보는 관점은 한의학적 관점에서는 기(氣)의 순환 장애에서 오는 기통증(氣痛症), 기울증(氣鬱症)으로 볼 수 있으며, 이완 요법은 환자 치료에 정서, 심리적인 측면을 고려한 점에서 이정변기요법(移精變氣療法)등과 같은 한방정신요법과 유사성을 찾아 볼 수 있다. 3. 이완 요법은 통증 치료에 있어서 심리적 이완, 안정을 도모하고, 통증에 대한 과도한 관심을 억제하여 통증 지각 완화에 도움이 된다.

For this study, the Chuna Manual Relaxation Therapy, a therapeutic procedure in Oriental Medicine was carried out on patients suffering from insomnia following hospitalization. If a patient with no prior medical history in insomnia should suffer from insomniac symptoms, the following procedure was carried out on thos patients showing 15 points on the Insomnia Severity Index starting on the day when the patient first complains of symptoms associated with insomnia, stages 1, 2 & 3 of the 'JS Cervical Shinyoun Therapy' in accordance with the Korea Chuna medical Index standard was carried out on the patient's bed from 8pm to 9pm everyday for 1 week. After the 1 week procedure, a medical examination by interview was carried out the following day, and the Insomnia Severity Index measured again. (1 being when the patient's state of sleep is at its worst, and 10 being when it is the most satisfactory. In case of 5 patients, Insomnia is disappeared, and the quality of sleep improved. In regards to insomnia suffered after hospitalization, Stage 1,2 and 3 of "JS Cervical Shinyoun Therapy" for relaxing tension showed effective results to the patient.

본 연구의 목적은 뇌졸중 환자의 족관절 저측굴근 경직에 대하여 Myotonometer와 surface Electromyography(sEMG)를 이용하여 경직의 정량적 평가에 유용한 지표를 알아보고, 이 지표들과 임상적으로 평가되는 modified Ashworth scale(MAS)과의 관계를 알아보고자 하였다. 족관절 저측굴근의 경직평가는 물리치료사 5명(임상경력 5년이상)이 MAS를 이용하여 MAS 2, 3, 4 해당 군에 각 5명씩을 무작위로 15명씩 배정하였다. 각 군의 조직탄성과 근활성 측정은 Myotonometer와 sEMG로 이완(relaxed)상태와 최대 수의적 수축(contracted)상태에서 측정하였다. 연구 결과, MAS 등급이 높아짐에 따라 이완과 수축상태 간의 조직저항도 전위차와 근활성도의 차이는 작아졌고, 상관관계 분석에서도 MAS 등급이 높아질수록 이완 시보다 수의적 수축 시 실린더가 받는 낮은 강도에서의 상관성이 더 높아짐을 확인할 수 있었다. 따라서 Myotonometer는 경직을 평가하는 방법으로 다양한 인체의 관절에 비교적 쉽게 적용할 수 있으며 경직의 변화를 민감하게 반영할 수 있어 보다 객관적이고 정량적인 경직의 평가 도구로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

Several nonpharmacological treatment methods of insomnia and their effects were reviewed. A long-term use of most hypnotics may produce tolerance, dependence, cognitive and psychomotor impairments at daytime, shallow sleep, and rebound insomnia on drug withdrawal. To reduce hypnotic abuse, nonpharmacological strategies have been developed to correct disordered behavioral and cognitive factors. These treatments aim at modifying maladaptive sleep habits, lowering physiological and cognitive arousal levels, and correcting dysfuctional beliefs and attitudes about sleep. These non-pharmacological or cognitive behavior treatments include stimulus control, sleep restriction, relaxation training, sleep hygiene education, cognitive therapy, and light therapy. Among them the stimulus control therapy has been demonstrated most effective as a single treatment or in combination with other treatments. Through nonpharmacological treatments, sleep latency was most significantly reduced and wake time after sleep onset was also reduced. About 50% of insomniacs reported clinical improvements in terms of nearly normalized sleep latency, awakening time, sleep efficiency, and reduction of hypnotic use. Compared to the hypnotic therapy, nonpharmacological treatments are more cost-effective and more readily accepted by patients, and their effects last longer.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical application of oriental medical therapy(OMT) and psychotherapy to a somatoform disorder patient with chronic pelycalgia and hemiparesis. Methods: We treated the patient with psychotherapy such as relaxation therapy and suggestion. OMT that we used is represented by retention enema therapy. The recovery of the pelycalgia was evaluated by Visual Analogue Scale(VAS). Results: Following the treatment the patient's pelycalgia and hemiparesis was improved. The sum of VAS score was rapidly decreased(from 113 to 28). Conclusion: OMT and psychotherapy have positive effects on the patient with chronic pelycalgia and hemiparesis.

However, auricular acupuncture therapy was appeared to be effective to stop smoking. So with these results, further systemic research to examine the effect of auricular acupuncture is seem to be necessary.
