Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: This study was aimed to review the trend of dementia clinical studies in Korean Oriental Medicine and to suggest better clinical studies.
Method: We collected 26 papers on dementia clinical studies in the internet site OASIS using the keyword ‘Dementia’. Then we analyzed them.
Results: There were 26 clinical study papers that were published between 1996 and 2010. Observational studies account for 61% of total clinical studies, whereas experimental studies account for only 31%. Effects of treatment in experimental studies was evaluated mainly by MMSE-K and K-DRS. Treatment period of experimental studies was longer than 100days.
Conclusions : High quality experimental studies like randomized clinical trial(RCT) and intervention studies which use syndrome differentiation(辨證) have not yet been published. It is necessary to research and develop duration of treatment effect and tools for evaluating treatment effects.
