The 63 patients(20 males, 43 females) were treated for their trigeminal neuralgia at the Department. of Oral Medicine, Pusan National University Hospital from 1993 to 1998. All the patients were treated for their trigeminal neuralgia by conservative methods such as medication, and Electric Acupuncture Stimulation Therapy The obtained results were as follows: 1. Trigeminal neuralgia was mainly involved in the patients of past forties, women and acute group. 2. 50.8% of patients were related to maxillary branches of trigeminal nerves. The trigger points were on gingivae, cheeks, teeth, lips in order. 3. 55.6% of patients with trigeminal neuralgia had systemic diseases and 39.7% were related to dental practices. 4. Success rate of the treatments was 71.4% and the recurrence rate was 26.3%. 5. The refractory factors in improving symptoms were chronic history, involvement of complex branches, and experience of prosthodontic treatments.

도인술은 경락과 경혈에 자극에 의한 체조법과 호흡법을 결합하여 기혈의 순환을 활발하게 하고 사기의 배설을 촉진시키므로 근육, 건, 인대의 탄력성과 활력성을 증강하고 관절의 활액 분비와 관절 주위의 순환을 촉진하고 경락을 통해 전신을 조정해 준다.(신준식, 1995). 내$\cdot$외관적 질환, 부인과 질환을 예방하고 치료하는 운동요법 중에 요통과 견괄절 질환에 대해서만 몇 가지 행법만 소개하므로 모든 질병을 치료보다 예방적인 측면으로 건강증진, 치료목적, 근 이완, 피로 회복의 효과를 달성할 수 있다. 도인법은 확고하게 과학적으로 증명된 것은 아니지만 질병 치료와 건강 증진 목적으로 현재까지 시행하고 있으므로 한방 물리치료의 한 분야이므로 좀 더 효과적이고 발전에 많은 활용하기 위하여 제한하는 바이다.

This paper relates the occidental constitutional theory to the oriental one, concluding their origins to be similar, and demonstrates a new method of constitutional diagnosis by O-Ring Measurement System Of Muscular Meridians and Laser Constitutional Diagnosis. It establishes Laser Constitutional Diagnosis(L.C.D) using laser beams according to the principles of acupuncture and Sa-Sang constitutional physiology under the effect of spatial morphological energy of geometric isomers. Finally, hypothetical theory of L.C.D. was experimented by the O-Ring Measurement Systems of Muscular Meridians(O-R MSMM). O-R MSMM has been specially devised to improve the manual O-Ring Test prevailing to distinguish energetic response by muscle tonicity. Statistically, it has been proved that the constitutional diagnosis with O-R MSMM was highly effective and objective in the clinical experiences.

This article discusses the diagnosis, anatomic consideration, and surgical management of masseter muscle hypertrophy. Surgical correction is advised for patients who have esthetic complaints. Esthetic improvement can be achieved by surgery and not by conservative treatment. Recently, the intraoral method, which leaves no scar on the face and minimizes the possibility of injury to the marginal branch of the facial nerve, has been supported by many surgeons. Patients who complained of marked swelling of unilateral or bilateral mandibular angle area and showed abnormal bony growth at the mandibular angle area and enlarged masseter muscle received mandibular angle shaving and excision of the inner layer of masseter muscle with intraoral approach. After operation, physiotherapy was done with EAST(eletrical acupuncture stimulation therapy) for encouraging the mouth opening and reducing the swelling. They showed early maximum mouth opening and reduction of swelling.

Facial nerve paralysis(or Bell's palsy) which commonly occurs unilaterally, gives rise to paralysis of facial expression muscle. This condition is classified into symptomatic facial nerve paralysis due to intracranial tumor, post operative trauma, etc. and idiopathic facial nerve paralysis. To explain the etiology of idiopathic facial nerve paralysis, many hypothesis including ischemic theory, viral infection, exposure to cold, immune theory etc. were suggested, but there is no agreement at this point. The method to evaluate the facial nerve paralysis, when it occurs, consists of three stage scale method, image thechnics like CT and MRI, laboratory test to examine the antibody titers of viral infection, neurophysiologic test to evaluate the degree and prognosis of paralysis. Treatment includes medication, stellate ganglion block(SGB), surgery, physical therapy and other home care therapy. In medication, systemic steroids, vitamins, vasodilating-drug and ATP drugs were used. SGB was also used repeatedly to attempt the improvement of circulation and to stimulate the recovery of nerve function. Physical therapy including electric acupuncture stimulation therapy(EAST) and hot pack was used to prevent the muscle atrophy. When No response was showed to this conservative therapies, surgery was considered. After treating two patients complaining of Bell's palsy with medication(systemic steroids) and EAST, favorable result was obtained. so author report the case of facial nerve paralysis.

Objective: We report a case of a 73-year-old Korean male with vertigo and nausea, both of which were brought about by head repositioning. The condition was diagnosed as benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).Method: The patient was treated with acupuncture, electroacupuncture, cupping, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), and herbal medicine (Bosimsahwacheonggan-tang [補心瀉火淸肝湯]). We conducted the vertigo symptoms scale (VSS) and the dizziness handicap inventory (DHI) to evaluate the degree of the patient’s symptoms.Results: Vertigo and nausea started to improve after the administration of Bosimsahwacheonggan-tang, but although the patient took the anti-vertigo medication and a tranquilizer after the symptoms became aggravated, no prominent improvements could be observed.Conclusion: These results suggest that traditional Korean medical treatment may be effective in treating peripheral vertigo due to BPPV.

Reflux esophagitis is a common disease in developed nations. We describe the case of a female patient with endoscopic reflux esophagitis complicated by gastric dysmotility. Both electrogastrography and enterotachography were performed to detect gastric myoelectrical activity and pyloric sphincter function and evaluate gastric motility. The patient was treated only with herbal medications and general acupuncture, with electrical stimulation of the ST.36 (Zusanli) point, in addition to moxibustion therapy. After each primary and secondary treatment, the therapeutic effect was immediately evaluated. At the final follow-up 5 mon after the end of the secondary treatment, the patient’s general condition was assessed, in addition to the mucosa of the esophagus. At follow up, all the patients’ symptoms had disappeared, and the mucosa of the esophagus had returned to normal. We attributed these therapeutic effects to improved gastric dysmotility. To confirm the usefulness of this treatment method, studies of larger numbers of patients with reflux esophagitis treated with Korean traditional medicine are needed.

In this case report, I discussed the diagnosis and treatment of two pregnant women with temporomandibular disorders(TMD) who visited the Department of Oral Medicine, PNUH. Also, I reviewed some investigations of diagnosis and treatment of TMD in pregnant women. The obtained results were as follows; 1. No single X-ray diagnostic procedure for TMD results in radiation dose that threatens the well-being of the developing embryo and fetus. 2. Most non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs) have commonly used because these drugs are considered to be nonteratogenic, but these agents are not recommended for routine use after 3rd trimester. 3. Electro-acupuncture stimulation therapy(EAST) is contraindicated for 1st trimester, and ultrasonic deep heat therapy, microwave deep heat therapy, low level laser therapy, myo-monitor are not contraindicated for pregnant women but clinician must consider some risk of adverse fetal effects. 4. The occlusal stabilization splint may be used for pregnant women, if it is fabricated indirectly. 5. Surgical treatment is contraindicated for pregnant women.

측두하악장애의 치료에 이용되는 저주파 전자침 자극요법의 임상적 효과를 평가하기 위하여 치료를 시행한 28명과 치료를 전혀 시행하지 않은 10명의 대조군을 대상으로 치료전과 치료 2주 후에 경혈점의 압력통각역치와 임상지수를 측정하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 1. 환자군에서 저주파 전자침 자극요법을 시행하기 전과 후의 임상지수가 유의하게 변화하였다(P<0.001). 2. 환자군에서 저주파 전자침 자극요법을 시행하기 전과 후의 압력통각역치는 G2, G21, Li4, S2, S3, S8, Si19 및 T17에서 유의하게 증가하였다(P<0.05). 3. 대조군에서 임상지수와 압력통각역치는 실험 전후에 차이가 없었다. 4. 환자군의 임상지수가 대조군에 비하여 유의하게 변화하였다 (P<0.05). 본 연구는 저주파 전자침 자극요법의 주관적 뿐만 아니라 임상적인 효과를 보여줌으로써 측두하악장애환자의 치료에서 저주파 전자침 자극요법이 유용한 방법임을 제시하였다.
