ABSTRACT

Objectives The aims of this study was to observe the effectiveness of East-WestIntegrative Medicine (EWIM) by analysing between EWIM estimated group and Non-EWIMeastimated group with Brain Rehabilitation Registry. Methods We divided hospitals into two groups, one is EWIM estimated group hospital(Kyeonghee university, Wonkwang university, Dongguk university) and the other isnon-EWIM estimated group (Jeonnam university, Gyeongbuk university, Catholic university). Then we analysed the effectiveness of treatments retrospectively using the databaseof Brain Rehabilitation Registry (http://www.kbrr.or.kr/, version 1.0). Totally 293 patientswere included, EWIM estimated group was 175 and non-EWIM estimated group was118. The main outcome measurements were National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS), Modified Barthel Index (MBI) and Mini Mental State Examination-Korea (MMSE-K). Results Changes of NIHSS was not significant in both total patient and patient whotreated over 3 weeks. MMSE-K showed positively significant difference (p=0.044) in EWIMestimated group patients who treated over 3 weeks. In case of MBI, EWIM estimatedgroup showed more effective result and also statistically significant in both total patientsand patients who treated over 3 weeks. Conclusions We patially argued that EWIM estimated group was more effective thannon-EWIM estimated group in stroke patients' functional recovery. We suggested basedata of EWIM in stroke patiens through this study and this could be applied future researchesof developing modified EWIM system.
