Abstract:
The first Japan-Korea workshop on acupuncture and EBM was held on June 4, 2004 at Chiba in the 53rd annual scientific meeting of the JSAM. The purpose of this workshop was to exchange the experiences of clinical researches on acupuncture and moxibustion therapies, and to find out the issues and their solutions for developing the excellent clinical research to establish strong evidence. The final purpose was to develop aprotocol for the collaborative work between both countries.
Drs. Kawakita (JSAM) and Jang (KAMS) chaired the workshop. Three speakers from Japan (Drs Takahashi, Nabeta, and Tsukayama) and three Korean speakers (Drs Seo, Lee and Moon) presented their data on the clinical researches of acupuncture, moxibustion and bee-venom injection. After their paper presentations, various issues were discussed on their research methodology for establishing more strong evidence of acupuncture.We got interesting new findings and understood various issues for conducting clinical researches especially RCT.
Although we could not develop a protocol for the collaborative research in this workshop, it was very fruitful workshop as the first step for the future Japan-Korea collaborative clinical study. The most important product of this workshop was we could understand each other and we confirmed the necessity of the future collaborative clinical research on acupuncture.
