Abstract

|
This study aimed to describe the process of building an allergic rhinitis practice-based research network (PBRN) in Korean Medicine clinics, identify barriers, and propose solutions for future PBRN studies. The PBRN study was designed to evaluate the therapeutic effects of “decoction forms of herbal medicine,” which are difficult to study through clinical trials in South Korea. Based on the research experience of this study, seven solutions were proposed. It is necessary to develop a plan for KM doctors to increase their understanding of research, collect comprehensive endpoint data, and set widely applicable study designs. There is also a need to create mandatory research monitoring plans and foster networking among PBRN participants. Before participating in the study, rehearsal programs for new KM doctors and close relationships between primary care doctors and researchers will help ensure a successful PBRN clinical study. PBRNs can be an effective platform for providing KM clinical data and a source of KM big data. Given the growing demand for evidence-based practices in KM, clinical studies conducted in KM clinics are likely to be actively pursued in the future.
