Objective: This study reviewed experimental studies on the effects of Korean medical treatment for diabetes mellitus (DM). Method: We reviewed 24 studies about DM that had been published since 2013. We searched the Korean Institute of Oriental Medicine (KIOM) database with the keyword '당뇨', '消渴', 'Diabetes'. Results:1. The studies used various Korean medicine treatments; 15 used single medicinal herbs, 6 used herbal complexes, and 2 used acupuncture.2. The measurement parameters used in the studies included blood glucose, body weight, histochemical change, lipid parameters, and food/water intake. Anti-diabetic effects were demonstrated in most of the studies.3. The experimental animals used were rats or mice. There were 15 type 1 diabetes models, 7 type 2 diabetes models, and one normal model. Among them, 13 cases of chemical diabetes induced by Streptozotosin (STZ, type 1 diabetes inducer) were the most common.Conclusion: Further articles on Korean medical treatment of DM should be studied.

This study evaluated the effects of traditional Korean medicine treatment on a patient with asthma. Methods: A patient was treated with acupuncture, herbal medicine, and cupping. The effect of treatment was evaluated via the quality of life questionnaire for adult Korean asthmatics (QLQAKA), the visual analog scale (VAS), and night awakening frequency. Results: After treatment, improvements were observed. The total QLQAKA score increased from 36 to 50. Conclusions: This study observed that traditional Korean medicine treatments are effective in caring for a patient with asthma.
