  • Objective : The aim of this study is to classify the patterns of Ryodoraku using cluster analysis on tinnitus patients. Method : 261 patients with tinnitus and 159 patients with other disease were analyzed. We used cluster analysis with SPSS 20.0 to classify the pattern of Ryodoraku. We searched the cluster characteristics and tried to interpret the specific patterns from previous studies. Result : We divided tinnitus patients to four groups and control patients to five groups. There were some shared patterns between tinnitus group and control group. One group on tinnitus patients showed lower age than other groups. Time, sex, total average did not show any differences among groups. Conclusion : Cluster analysis on tinnitus patients showed the possibility of presenting the specific Ryodoraku patterns. But because of weak Ryodoraku studies, clinical usefulness is unknown. Further study is needed.

  • Objectives: This study was designed to investigate the difference between genuine and pseudo-halitosis in terms of clinical characteristics. Methods: We recruited 51 halitosis patients who visited the halitosis clinic at Kyung Hee University Korean Medicine Hospital from March 2020 to March 2022. We classified the halitosis patients into two groups, genuine and pseudo halitosis, based on oral chroma and evaluated the status of hyposalivation using the drainage method, stress levels using heart rate variability (HRV) parameters, and Ryodoraku. Results: Comparing the genuine halitosis group and the pseudo halitosis group, there was no significant difference in the status of hyposalivation and HRV parameters. However, Ryodoraku was significantly different between genuine and pseudo halitosis. Compared to the genuine halitosis group, the pseudo halitosis group showed a significantly higher value of total average (TA) of Ryodoraku. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that there is a significant difference in Ryodoraku between genuine halitosis and pseudo halitosis, so when approaching pseudo halitosis patients, we should consider their excitability of the sympathetic nervous system and metabolic function status.

  • Background & Object: The aim of this study was to investigate the association of degree of fatigue and gastric motility, measured by EGG, with skin sympathetic tone or cardiovascular reactivity in patients with functional dyspepsia. Methods: Subjects were 56 patients with Functional dyspepsia and eight healthy people. Degree of fatigue was assessed by questionnaires consisting of subjective complaints of fatigue. Skin sympathetic tone was measured by Ryodoraku Score and Cardiovascular Reactivity was checked by Pulse diagnostic apparatus. Gastric motility was estimated by EGG. First, all patients were divided into two groups by Ryodoraku Score $40{\mu}A$(below and above). Second, they were subdivided into two groups by Cardiovascular Reactivity(decreased and increased or not decreased). Estimates were made on the extent differences of degree of fatigue or state of gastric motility in each group. Results: 1. Fatigue scores was significantly higher in females and in the Ryodoraku-Score-below-$40{\mu}A$ group. It was higher in the decreased cardiovascular reactivity group than the increased group, but to no significanct extent. Also, gastric motility was better in the Ryodoraku-Score-above-$40{\mu}A$, group than in the below group. Conclusions: These results suggest that degree of fatigue and gastric motility are associated with skin sympathetic tone, but not associated with cardiovascular reactivity, and that $40{\mu}A$ is a useful cutoff point in Ryodoraku Score for assessing degree of fatigue in functional dyspepsia patients.

  • The purpose of this study is to prove the existence of the meridians by analyzing the effect of bloodletting cupping on Back-Shu Points and venesection on sabonghyeul, which are treatments for gastrointestinal and circulatory diseases with Ryodoraku. We selected the charts of 30 patients who received the treatment such as bloodletting cupping on Back-Shu Points and venesection on sabonghyeul for gastrointestinal and circulatory diseases. First, the Ryodoraku test was conducted in a stable state. After taking a rest on the bed, he performed a venesection on sabonghyeul. And bloodletting cupping on Back-Shu Points was performed with prone position. After all the procedures were completed, Ryodoraku test was performed again. And the result was compared with previous test status. By bloodletting cupping on Back-Shu Points and venesection on sabonghyeul, the deviation between the current value of the right F5 (gallbladder)· H4 (small intestine)· H6 (large intestine) (p<.05, p<.05, p<.001), left H5 (triple energizer) (p<.05) and the average current of 24 source points was significantly decreased. The difference between the left and right currents at the site of F3 (kidney) showed a significant increase (p<.005). It can be proved the existence of meridians that Bloodletting cupping on Back-Shu Points and venesection on sabonghyeul showed significant changes in the F5 (gallbladder), H4 (small intestine), H6 (large intestine), F3 (kidney), H5 (triple energizer) in digestive and circulatory symptoms by Ryodoraku test.

  • Objectives: This study investigated the clinical characteristics of functional dyspepsia (FD) patients with food retention (FR) in regard to the parameters of cutaneous electrogastrography (EGG), Ryodoraku, and heart rate variability (HRV). Methods: This study reviewed the clinical records of 33 FD patients with FR who filled out the FR Questionnaire for FD (FRQ-FD) and underwent EGG for six months from March 1st, 2021. We summarized the clinical characteristics of FD patients with FR and analyzed the correlation between FRQ-FD score and parameters of EGG, Ryodoraku, and HRV. Results: FRQ-FD scores had a positive correlation with percentage of postprandial bradygastria and negative correlation with power ratio, detected on Channel 2, 3 of EGG. The total average (TA) Ryodoraku score was lower, and the high frequency density (HF) of HRV was higher than the normal value. Conclusions: The results of this study suggest that clinicians can use EGG, Ryodoraku, and HRV to increase the accuracy of diagnosing FR in FD patients.

  • Objectives : The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between stress type and Ryodoraku score (RS) in patients with functional dyspepsia. Methods : 92 (30 male, 62 female) patients with functional dyspepsia were included in this study. Degree of stress was evaluated by GARS and BEPSI scale which can assess acute and chronic stress, respectively. RS of the patients was measured, and mean, sum of gaps and standard deviation (SD) in their RS were taken. First, patients were divided into two groups by sex, and by mean RS $40{\mu}A$ (above and below). GARS and BEPSI scale of each group was compared. Second, correlation between stress scales (GARS and BEPSI) and variation indexes of RS (sum of gaps and SD) was examined. Result : 1. The mean RS is higher in male patients than in female ones. 2. No significant difference was noted in GARS and BEPSI scale associated with above end below the mean $40{\mu}A$ RS. 3. The sum of gaps and SD of RS has significant correlation with GARS scale but not with BEPSI scale. Conclusions : These results suggest that the sum of gaps and SD of RS are associated with acute stress in patients with functional dyspepsia. Thus, it is thought that RS can be useful in assessing acute stress in patients with functional dyspepsia.
