Abstract

Objectives: The goal for this study is to find out the recent trends of the Korean medicine treatment on children and adolescents’ somatic symptom and related disorder by reviewing case studies.
Methods: We found case study reports relevant to ‘Korean medicine treatment on somatic symptom and related disorder’ through Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System (OASIS), National Discovery for Science Leader (NDSL) and Research Information Sharing Service (RISS). The age of the patients was limited to under 20.
Results: All reported articles showed that the treatments were selected based on both emotional problems and physical symptoms. Herbal medicine was the most commonly used method, and the other methods including acupuncture and psychotherapy were also used.
Conclusions: This study shows that the common Korean medicine treatment can be widely used for children and adolescents’ somatic symptom and related disorder. Further research is needed to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatments, and to develop guidelines for the treatment.
