Objective: There are many cases that have medicated with both oriental medicine and western medicine for same symptoms of each patient because of the two-tier medical system in Korea. In this study, we survey papers about the combined therapy of oriental medicine and western medicine in oriental medicine viewpoint.
Method: First, we collect the data about research trend of combined medication. we found 70 papers in the two internet sites, ‘OASIS’ and ‘KISTI’, using the internet sites, using the keywords ‘combined treatment’, ‘collaborated diagnosis’, ‘oriental-western medicine’, and ‘western-oriental medicine’. Then we analyzed them according to year, oriental-western medicine, diseases, research methods and subjects.
Results & Conclusion : Researches for combined therapy had some problems as follows: First, studies have been made only for limited diseases as cancer, infection, stroke, etc. Second, methods of research are also limited. Some methods such as in vivo, in vitro and case-report are used repeatedly. Third, only the positive aspects of the combined therapy are proposed. We don’t find the side effects of the combined therapy at all. To solve these problems, more objective and balanced studies such as RCT for various diseases should be performed.
