Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: This study was carried out to develop a standard tool of pattern identifications for insomnia in Korean Medicine.
Methods: The advisory committee for this study was organized by 17 Korean Medicine neuropsychiatry professors who were faculty members of different Korean Medicine colleges. The pattern identifications and symptoms for this tool were extracted from published Korean and Chinese literature. The Instrument on Pattern Identifications for Insomnia was developed following discussions among internal experts and after consultations with members of the advisory committee.
Results: 1) Five pattern identifications were set for the tool. 2) The mean weights which represent the importance of each symptom and scored on a hundred-point scale were obtained. 3) The Instrument on Pattern Identifications for insomnia was designed in the self-reporting format composed of 47 questions.
Conclusions: An Instrument on Pattern Identifications for Insomnia was created in this study. However, owing to any clinical trials has not been set yet. Therefore its validity and reliability were not confirmed. To make up for this limitation, the further clinical study would be performed in the near future.
