  • Objectives: The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the efficacy and safety of Ongyeong-tang (OGT) in the treatment of insomnia in patients afflicted with neurological diseases, according to the medical records of one medical institution. OGT is a herbal prescription that originates from the "Synopsis of Prescriptions of the Golden Chamber" and has been used for menopausal symptoms, uterine diseases, skin diseases, insomnia, and other neuropsychiatric symptoms. Methods: Medical records of patients who visited Kyung Hee University Korean Medicine Hospital from January 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022, received outpatient or inpatient treatment, and met the inclusion criteria were used in this study. Results: Twenty-four patients satisfied the inclusion criteria and were included. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index-Korean version (PSQI-K) score was used to evaluate the outcomes before and after treatment. After an average of 14.42±9.2 days of OGT extract intake, 20 patients (83.3%) experienced improvement. The remaining four (16.7%) had no change in their symptoms, but none demonstrated worsening of symptoms. The total PSQI-K score showed a statistically significant decrease from 13.08±4.54 to 10.42±4.58 (p<0.001). Sleep quality, sleep duration, sleep disturbance, use of sleeping medications, and daytime dysfunction also showed statistically significant improvements. Conclusions: Administration of OGT extract may be a relatively safe and effective therapeutic option for insomnia in patients with neurological diseases.

  • Background: In Korea, little research has focused on the relationship between discrimination in the workplace and sleep health. Thus, this study aims to investigate the association between such discriminatory experiences and insomnia, a common sleep disorder, using Korean employees' data. Methods: This study used data from the 6th Korea Working Conditions Survey. Discrimination experiences due to age, ethnic background, nationality, race, sex, religion, disability, sexual orientation, educational level, hometown, and employment status were investigated. The Minimal Insomnia Symptom Scale estimated insomnia symptoms. The association between discrimination experience and insomnia symptoms were analyzed using survey-weighted logistic regression analysis. Results: Based on experiences of discrimination over the past 12 months, insomnia symptoms were associated with discrimination experience due to religion (odds ratio [OR]: 3.70; 95% confidential interval [CI]: 1.58-8.69), sex (OR: 2.51; 95% CI: 1.87-3.37), age (OR: 2.30; 95% CI: 1.88-2.81), hometown (OR: 2.07; 95% CI: 1.44-2.97), employment status (OR: 1.69; 95% CI: 1.37-2.10), and educational level (OR: 1.67; 95% CI: 1.31-2.14). Furthermore, the prevalence of insomnia symptoms increased with the number of discrimination experiences. Conclusions: In this study, discrimination experiences due to religion, sex, age, hometown, employment status, and educational level were significantly associated with insomnia symptoms. Furthermore, as the number of discrimination experiences increased, so did the prevalence of insomnia. Preventing workplace discrimination may improve workers' sleep health.

  • It is very difficult to evaluate sleep disorders by simple history taking, because which covers very comprehensive areas such as psychobiosocial fields. Although polysomnography is used for the method of final diagnosis, systemic history taking and sleep question-aires are still critically important especially in evaluation of insomnia. Proper informations through sleep questionnaires can provide very precise data for effective treatment as well as exact diagnosis. Sleep questionnaires consist of largely four kinds of questionnaires, which are screening questionnaire of sleep disorders, sleep diary and questionnaire of sleep hygine, diagnostic questionnaire for specific sleep disorder and questionnaire of special symptoms of sleep disorders including insomnia, daytime sleepiness, cognitive function, mental symptom and personality, parasomnia, physical illness and sexual function. However, for more conclusive diagnosis especially in excessive daytime sleepiness nocturnal polysomnography and multiple sleep latency test should be performed.

  • Objectives: This study evaluated the effectiveness of Sayeok-san for treating insomnia. Methods: We conducted a search using keywords, such as "Sayeoksan", "Si-ni-san", and "insomnia" in eight databases (CNKI, Wanfang, Pubmed, Embase, Cochrane, NDSL, OASIS, RISS) on July 17, 2012. There was no limit placed on the publication period of the papers, and we used Cochrane's risk of bias tool to assess their quality. Meta-analysis was classified according to the outcome measurements, such as total effective rate and PSQI. Results: Nine RCTs were selected. Meta-analysis showed that the treatment group, which used Sayeok-san, had a higher total effective rate than did the control group that used only Western medicine. The treatment group also had a lower average of PSQI and TSS (TCM symptom score) than did the control group. Conclusion: This study suggests that Sayeok-san is effective in treating insomnia. However, these findings should be interpreted cautiously due to unknown or high risk of bias of the included trials.

  • 목 적 : 본 연구의 목적은 수면장애로 수면클리닉에 내원하는 환자들을 대상으로 수면클리닉을 방문하게 된 이유, 찾게 된 경로, 수면클리닉을 찾게 되는 가장 흔한 증상이자 독립질환인 불면증에 대한 인식을 조사하고 그 의미를 해석하여 향후 수면장애의 치료와 환자교육에 도움이 되고자 하였다. 방 법 : 2018년 4월부터 10월 사이 6개월 간 국립정신건강센터의 수면클리닉을 방문한 외래환자들 중 만 19세 이상의 초진환자를 대상으로 자기보고식 설문을 진행하였다. 이때, 지적장애, 치매 등 심한 인지기능을 동반한 환자등을 배제하였고, 총 44명(남성 24명, 여성 20명)이 연구에 참석하였다. 설문지는 자체개발한 설문지로 수면클리닉을 방문한 이유, 수면클리닉을 알게 된 경로, 수면클리닉 방문 이전 수면질환의 치료력, 불면증의 인식에 대한 질문, 불면증의 치료에 대한 인식, 불면증의 동반질환(comorbodity)에 대한 지식을 묻는 질문으로 구성되었다. 결 과 : 연구에 참가한 대상자들은 총 44명으로 평균 연령은 $54.11{\pm}16.3$세로 남성은 24명(54.5%), 여성은 20명(45.5%)였으며, 40대 이상의 중장년층이 전체의 77.3%를 차지했고, 81.8%(36명)가 고졸이상의 학력을 갖추고 있었다. 환자들의 72.7%(32명)가 공존질환을 갖고 있었으며, 22.7%에서 고위험음주를 보였다. 수면클리닉에 내원한 이유는 잠들기 힘들고 중간에 자주 깸, 낮에 피곤하고 졸림, 불규칙한 수면시간, 악몽을 자주 꿈, 코골이와 수면 중 숨막힘 등의 순서였고, 93.2%에서 불면증을 인식하고 있었고, 가족 친지, 방송, 인터넷 등을 통해 본인이 불면증에 대한 지식을 얻게 되었다고 하였다. 불면증의 치료에 대해서는 70.5%가 약물치료를 떠올렸고, 이에 대한 정보는 인터넷과 의료진을 통해 주로 얻고 있었으며 불면증의 비약물학적인 치료방법에 대해 52.3%가 들어본 적이 없다고 하였다. 불면증의 치료선호도를 묻는 질문에 45.5%가 특별한 선호도 없이 의사의 권유대로 따르겠다고 하였고, 불면증의 공존질환 중 우울증, 신체질환, 알코올사용장애을 알고 있는지를 묻는 질문에 대해 각각 75%, 50%, 38.6%의 응답률을 보였다. 수면제 복용 시 의사의 지침을 준수해야 한다는 것에 대해서는 75%에서 알고 있었지만, 전체 응답자의 68.2%가 수면제 처방에 대해 걱정을 하고 있었고 이들 중 70%가 약물의존에 대해 걱정된다고 하였다. 결 론 : 내원자의 56.8%가 내원전 타의료기관에서 수면장애로 치료를 받고 왔음에도 불구하고, 불면증의 치료, 특히 비약물학적인 치료에 대한 잘 알고 있지 못했으며, 본인의 수면제 복용여부와 상관없이 수면제에 대해서는 약물의존에 대한 걱정을 많이 하고 있었으나 상대적으로 불면증과 공존질환으로서의 알코올 사용문제에 대해서는 간과하고 있었다. 향후 일선 일차의료담당자의 불면증치료에 대한 이해증진 및 표준화된 불면증치료안의 개발이 시급할 것으로 생각된다. 또한 알코올 사용장애에 대한 구체적인 평가가 초기 면담에서 반드시 필요하다고 하겠다.

  • Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is characterized by identity and interpersonal problem, affective dysregulation and pervasive severe impulsivity. Although sleep disturbances are not primary symptoms of BPD, they are important aspects of this disorder. However, clinicians and researchers did not give much attention to the sleep symptoms of BPD yet. Measured by nocturnal polysomnography, increased sleep latency as well as reduced total sleep time and sleep efficiency, and 'depression-like' REM abnormalities (i.e., reduced REM latency and increased REM density) are found in BPD patients. Co-morbid sleep disorders such as chronic insomnia, nightmare disorder or circadian rhythm sleep disorder associated with BPD have been reported. Clinicians should focus on the sleep complaints of BPD patients, and carefully manage such symptoms with sleep hygiene education, cognitive psychotherapy or light therapy.

  • This paper according to the sleep theory of Yeonggi(營氣) and Wigi(衛氣)'s circulation in "Naegyeong(內經)", explains that Yeonggi and Wigi's circulation is the internal basic for human's sleep-wake rhythm, and it's relationship with other sleep theories, such as mental activity sleep theory, soul sleep theory, Jangbu(臟腑) organs sleep theory etc. It can be seen that the circulation law of Yeonggi and Wigi for day and night is the key of sleep activities, and Yeonggi and Wigi's circulation disorder is the key of insomnia, so we should use coordination of Yeonggi and Wigi as basic method for treating insomnia, based on treatment after differentiation of syndromes.
