목적본 연구의 목적은 신경계질환을 앓고 있는 소아 청소년의 한방치료, 보완대체의학 및 다른 치료(병행치료)의 이용 빈도 및 실태를 알아보기 위한 것이다.
방법2011년 4월부터 7월까지, 신경계질환을 앓고 있는 환아의 부모님께 설문조사를 시행하였다.
결과578명의 부모님이 설문에 응하였다 : 310명(53.5%)이 현재 병행치료를 시행하고 있었다. 다음은 사용된 병행치료의 종류이다: 재활치료 166명(27.4%), 언어치료 169 명(27.9%), 미술․놀이․음악․감각통합치료 109명(18.0%), 건강기능식품 72명(11.9%), 상담․인지행동치료45명(7.4%), 한약 복용 24명(4.0%), 침뜸치료 13명(2.1%).
257명(44.5%)이 과거 병행치료를 이용했다. 다음은 사용된 병행치료의 종류이다: 한약 복용 146 명(35.4%), 침뜸치료 64 명(15.5%), 미술․놀이․음악․감각통합치료 54명(13.1%), 재활치료 47명(11.4%), 언어치료 46명(11.1%), 건강기능식품 복용 30명(7.3%), 상담․인지행동치료 15명(3.6%).
결론비록 환자들이 양방치료를 받고 있었지만, 한방치료, 보완대체의학 및 다른 치료를 겸하고 있었다. 한방치료의 비율은 예상보다 높지 않았다. 통합의학 모델을 개발하기위해 더 많은 연구가 필요하다.
Objectives The purpose of this study is to investigate prevalence and the frequency of using Korean medicine, Complementary Alternative Medicine (CAM), and other parallel treatments in children and young adolescence with neurological diseases.
Methods From April to July 2011, parents of the children and adolescents patients suffering from neurological disease completed questionnaires.
Results 578 parents answered the questionnaires. 310 cases (53.5%) were using Parallel Treatments. Types of the Parallel Treatments being used are as follows. Rehabilitation 166 cases (27.4%), Speech Therapy 169 cases (27.9%), Education (Art, Music, Play) 109cases (18.0%), Health supplement 72 cases (11.9%), Counselling, Cognitive & Behavioral Therapy 45 cases (7.4%), Herbal Medicine 24 cases (4.0%), Acupuncture, Moxibustion 13 cases (2.1%), Neurofeedback Therapy 1 case (0.2%), Etc 7 cases (1.2%).
257 cases (44.5%) have used Parallel Treatment before. Parallel Treatments being used in the past are as follows. Herbal Medicine 146 cases (35.4%), Acupuncture, Moxibustion 64 cases (15.5%), Education (Art, Music, Play) 54 cases (13.1%), Rehabilitation 47cases (11.4%), Speech Therapy 46 cases (11.1%), Health supplement 30 cases (7.3%), Counselling․ Cognitive & Behavioral Therapy 15 cases (3.6%), Neurofeedback Therapy 4 case (1.0%), Chuna, Manual Massage 2 case (0.5%), Etc 5 cases (1.2%).
Conclusions Although patients were on both western medicine and Korean medicine, CAM, and other parallel treatment, the ratio of Korean medicine treatment was not as high as expected. Further studies are required to develop the model of integrative medicine.
