Methods: Using Mann-Whitney U test, we divided 34 ‘Soeumin’ patients into two group(normal and with chronic dyspepsia) and analyzed Ryodoraku score, especially in ‘the spleen meridian’ and ‘the stomach meridian’ which is belived to be related with dyspepsia. Soeumin subjects are classified by ‘Sasang constitutional program’ in portable Ryodoraku device. All of them complete the questionnaire regarding their Digestive conditions. ‘short from leeds dyspepsia questionnaire(SF-LDQ)’ made by rome III diagnostic is chosed as questionnaire.
Results:
1.We found the RS measured from a group of people who has chronic dyspepsia was significantly greater than that from control group.
2.Regarding the effect of ‘dyspepsia’ in Ryodoraku, the mean score of the F6(stomach meridian) in the chronic dyspepsia group was significantly higher than that in the control group.
3.The mean score of the F6(stomach meridian RS) in the chronic dyspepsia group was not significantly higher than that in the control group.
4.In cases where people has chronic dyspepsia, the difference between RS measured in the right-side of a body and that in the left-side of a body was mostly greater than 40, whereas the case of difference that is less than 2 was rare.
Conclusions: Portable Ryodoraku device might be used to classify enforce ‘Sasang constitution’, and also it might be used to analyze ‘Ryodoraku data’ based on characteristic clinical symptoms of four constitution diagnosis alone.
