Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: This study was carried out to estimate the demand for clinical trials and contribute to the consolidation of function and role in the clinical trial centers of oriental medicine.
Methods: A survey of the demand was made of 379 faculties of oriental medicine in 11 oriental medical colleges throughout the country using two?part investigations by e-mail questionnaire over 1 month. The final data from 56 faculties were analyzed.
Results: Clinical trials of oriental medicine have been continuously increasing. Furthermore, the demand and necessity for clinical trials of oriental medicine have also been continuously enhanced. Although there were arguments for and against the establishment of a clinical trial center for oriental medicine, the demand and necessity for the establishment was the overall consensus. Concerning objections, a high intention of use was observed.
Conclusions: These results imply that the demand for clinical trials will increase remarkably through the establishment of a clinical trial center for oriental medicine. Further study is needed about the demand for such a center.
