Objectives: This study reviewed randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the efficacy of herbal medicine on sleep disorders associated with Parkinson's disease and suggests a better research process. Methods: We searched for RCTs for herbal medicine treatments for sleep disorders related to Parkinson's disease on July 31, 2023 using eight databases (PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure [CNKI], the Research Information Service System [RISS], Science ON, the Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System [OASIS], and the Korea Citation Index [KCI]). Cochrane's risk of bias tool was used to assess the quality of the RCTs. Results: A total of 16 RCTs met all the inclusion criteria, and in most reports, the treatment group showed a significant improvement in sleep disorders compared to the control group. Total effective rate (TER), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), TCM Symptom Score (TSS), Parkinson's Disease Sleep Scale (PDSS), etc., were used as evaluation indicators. Conclusion: Herbal medicine is a potential treatment for sleep disorders associated with Parkinson's disease. However, the selected RCTs were of poor quality, and it is necessary to perform more systematic studies.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to report the improvement in two patients with different complaints of sleep disorder treated with herbal medication based on the Shanghanlun disease pattern identification diagnostic system (DPIDS), and hypothesize the meaning of word '更'. Methods : According to DPIDS, patients were diagnosed with Taeyang-byung no. 29 provision, and took Gamchogungang-tang herb medication 15 or 90days. The results of administration were evaluated by the hyperhidrosis disease severity scale (HDSS) and the visual analog scale (VAS). Results : After administration of Gamchogungang-tang 15 or 90days, based on 29 provision of Gamchogungang-tang diagnosed according to Shanghanlun provisions, in one case the HDSS decreased from 3 to 1 and the VAS decreased from 10 to 1. In the other case, the VAS decreased from 10 to 1. Conclusions : Each patient not only recovered from symptoms of hyperhidrosis and alopecia areata, but also from sleep disorders following administration of a single medication of Gamchogungang-tang. This case report suggests that the word '更' in the 29 provisions of Shanghanlun means sleep disorder in this case.

페쇄성 수면무호흡증후군은 다양한 원인에 의하여 발생할 수 있으며, 특히 편도 및 아데노이드 비대증은 소아에서 가장 흔한 원인이다. 편도 및 아데노이드 비대증에 의하여 발생한 폐쇄성 수면무호흡증후군은 다양한 증상과 함께 행동 장애, 야뇨증, 성장 및 발달장애, 폐성심, 고혈압과 같은 다양한 합병증을 초래할 수 있다. 이러한 이유로 임상적으로 소아에서 폐쇄성 무호흡증상이 수면 중에 관찰되면 적절한 진단과정 후에 상태에 따라서 적극적인 치료가 필요하다. 소아에서의 치료는 편도 및 아데노이드 비대증에 의한 경우 수술적인 제거를 통하여 80% 이상에서 호전을 관찰할 수 있다. 그러나 편도 및 아데노이드 제거 후에도 증상이 남아있거나 수술적인 치료가 불가능한 환아에 대해서는 체중조절, 수면자세의 변화와 같은 생활습관의 조절 및 지속적 기도양압호흡기를 이용하여 추가적인 치료를 시행할 수 있다. 저자들은 수면다원검사상 심한 폐쇄성 수면무호흡이 관찰되어 편도 및 아데노이드 절제술을 시행한 후 증상의 호전이 있었으나, 장기간 추적관찰 후 재발한 수면무호흡과 코골이를 조절하기 위하여 생활습관의 개선교육과 자동화 기도양압호흡기로 치료한 1례를 경험하였기에 보고한다.

목 적 : 한국 사회의 고령화와 동반되어 노인 인구의 불면증은 증가되는 추세이나 이로 인해 초래되는 개인 및 사회경제적 손실에 비해 적절한 치료를 받는 환자의 수는 많지 않다. 불면증 인지행동치료가 부작용을 최소화할 수 있는 일차적인 치료로서 추천되고 있으나, 시간 및 경제적 제약, 인지적인 자원이 필요한 부담으로 인해 치료에 대한 접근성이 제한된 실정이다. 불면증 단기 치료 프로그램은 이러한 부담을 최소화할 수 있는 대안이 될 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구의 목적은 지역사회 거주 노인을 대상으로 불면증 단기 치료 프로그램의 효과를 검증하는 것이다. 방 법 : 2016년 5월부터 2018년 1월까지 서울 소재 3개의 노인 종합복지관을 방문한 65세 이상의 불면증을 호소하는 노인들 47명을 대상으로 3주에 걸쳐 불면증 단기 치료 프로그램을 시행하였다. 프로그램의 전, 후의 수면의 질을 측정하는 피츠버그 수면의 질 지수(Pittsburgh sleep quality index, PSQI), 수면 위생 척도, 정서 관련 평가를 실시하였으며 치료 기간 중 매일 수면 일지를 작성하도록 지시하였다. 임상적 효과는 치료 전후의 총 수면 시간, 수면 잠재기, 수면 후 각성 시간 및 수면 효율로 평가하였다. 치료 전, 후의 변화를 비교하기 위해 비모수검정 방법인 윌콕슨 부호 순위 검증(Wilcoxon's signed-ranks test)을 이용하여 분석을 시행하였다. 결 과 : 불면증 단기 치료 프로그램을 시행한 뒤, 치료 전보다 대상자들의 PSQI 총점이 감소하였으며 PSQI 로 측정한 주관적 수면의 질이 유의하게 호전되었다. 치료 전후에 시행한 수면 일지를 비교한 결과에서도 개운함 및 수면 후 각성 시간에 대해서 유의한 수준의 호전을 보였다. 결 론 : 개발된 불면증 단기 치료 프로그램은 지역 사회 노인의 불면증에 대해 긍정적인 치료 효과를 보이는 것으로 나타났다 기존의 불면증 인지행동치료에 비해 시간적, 인지적 자원 부담이 적음을 고려하였을 때 불면증 단기 치료 프로그램은 지역 사회 내에서 노인 불면증 치료에 대한 접근성을 확대하는 데 사용할 수 있을 것이다.

Objectives: The major objective of this study was to analyze stress response after a change to consecutive day shifts from day and night shifts in a motor assembly factory. Methods: Using a survey conducted by a labor union, we collected data on stress response index(SRI), lifestyle factors, work-family conflict and job stress before and after a shift system change. We analyzed the transition on the SRI among 222 workers. The cut-off point for the SRI was a T-score over 60. Results: The high risk stress response group was 20.3% of the population before the shift system change. After the shift system change it decreased to 11.3%. After the shift system change, social support improved, leisure time became more sufficient, work-family conflict declined, and sleep quality in the night shift week improved. In multivariable linear regression, among workers under 40 years old sleep quality on night shift, leisure time sufficiency, social support and work-family conflict contributed to the improvement of stress response. Among workers over 40, work-family conflict contributed to the improvement of stress response. Conclusions: The change to consecutive day shifts improved stress response and mediated with improved nighttime sleep, decreased work-family conflict, increased leisure time and improved work-family conflict.

Background: The purpose of this systematic review was to investigate the effects of digital therapeutics for insomnia on sleep disorders and mental health improvement compared to the control group. Methods: Following the guidelines on systematic review(PRISMA, NECA), a literature search was conducted through PubMed, Cochrane Library, EMBASE, RISS, KISS, and KoreaMed using keywords. The Cochrane Risk of Bias Tool and Review Manager version 5.3 were used for risk of bias and effect size assessment. Results: Thirty eight RCT met criteria for inclusion. When compared against three control conditions, the digital therapeutics for insomnia was an effective intervention for improvement sleep disorders and mental health in comparison to waiting list and Patient-directed care with some intervention by medical staff. However, digital therapeutics for insomnia were no more effective than face-to-face CBT-I control group. Conclusion: The efficacy of digital therapeutics for insomnia was evaluated differently depending on the control group. Therefore, in phase 3 clinical trials for efficacy evaluation, it is necessary to review whether the control group has been properly established.
