한의 임상에서의 레이저 치료 증례연구 분석

Abstract

Objectives : In this study, we analyzed case studies of high-power laser therapy in Korean medicine to date to understand the current status and seek ways to utilize it in clinical practice in the future. Methods : We searched OASIS with the title ‘Laser’, and ‘Surgery OR Resection'. The papers selected included all cases where laser therapy was used in addition to other treatments, but excluded cases where laser acupuncture or low level laser therapy was explicitly stated. The publication dates were 1964 to 2024, and a total of 10 papers were selected. Results : The diseases to be treated were epidermal cyst, which were the most common single diseases with 2 cases, followed by tumors such as pilomatricoma, ganglion and lipoma. The type of laser used the most was the CO2 Hani-maehwa laser (8 cases), followed by the ND:YAG laser, in 2 cases. Pharmacupuncture treatment was the most common treatment along with laser therapy, with 8 cases, followed by herbal medicine treatment in 7 cases. 7 cases reported no adverse reactions, and the remaining 3 cases did not specify adverse reactions. Conclusions : This study is the first study to analyze case studies of laser therapy in Korean medicine. In the future, it is thought that treatments and research in a wide range of fields should be conducted in a more systematic manner by utilizing various parameters of lasers.
