Integrative medicine experts from around the world gathered together to solidify the scientific basis for integrative medicine and expand the research base.

Jaseng Oriental Medicine Hospital (Hospital President Lee Jin-ho) announced on the 2nd that the "2024 Annual Jaseng Academic International Conference"' was completed on the 30th. The event, held at the COEX Convention Hall in Seoul, was attended by more than 100 scholars, researchers, and oriental doctors working in the field of integrated medicine.

Jaseng Oriental Medicine Hospital has discussed various research tasks, such as launching an international academic journal for integrated medicine research, and holds an international academic conference every year to engage in global academic exchanges. This conference, which marks its fifth anniversary this year, was held under the theme of 「Robust Evidence in Integrative Medicine: Innovations, Challenges, and Future Directions」, and presentations and discussions were made to strengthen the research capabilities of integrated medicine.

The keynote speaker on this day was ▶ David Moher, a professor of clinical epidemiology at Ottawa Hospital Research Institute in Canada, who is recognized as a world-class master in health care research, ▶Jian-ping Liu, head of the Institute of Evidence-Centered Chinese Medicine at Beijing Chinese Medical University ▶ Ha In-hyuk, head of the Spinal Joint Research Institute at Jasung Oriental Medicine Hospital.

In particular, Professor More, who was the first keynote speaker, is considered a master scholar who participated in the development of numerous medical research guidelines such as CONSORT 2024 and PRISMA 2020, and his papers have been cited more than 700,000 worldwide. Professor More explained how to write a more robust integrated medical research paper through this conference. He said "We need to pursue efficient research methods by reducing unnecessary waste of work, procedures, and data"It is important to adhere to ethical guidelines, but to contain only essential and useful information for patients and readers."

Ha In-hyuk, head of the Spinal Joint Research Institute at Jaseng Oriental Medicine Hospital, conducted presentations on integrated medical research in the field of spinal disease and chronic pain, focusing on various studies and projects conducted by the institute. In particular, it highlighted various attempts and achievements for the scientific and globalization of oriental medicine.

Director Ryu Geon-pyeong analyzed the basis of integrated medicine for musculoskeletal diseases in a quantitative way. Bibliometrics is a method of deriving statistics through bibliometrics, that is, literature review and analysis. This helps to analyze research status, performance, and influence to present future directions and provide insight. Director Ryu "Based on the thesis data that revealed the validity of integrated medicine for musculoskeletal diseases, researchers should put their heads together to explain the current trend of integrated medicine and establish a solid basis.", he said.

Subsequently, the first part of the event was held under the theme of 'Medical Evidence of Acupuncture: Research Results and Orientation'. In this session, the strengths and weaknesses of a practical randomized controlled study examined through ▶ acupuncture research (Professor Terrier Alarak of Norway's National Complementary and Alternative Medicine Institute) ▶ Problems of the placebo effect of acupuncture (Professor Stefan Birch of the University of Kristiania in Norway) ▶ Current point of acupuncture research (Professor Kim Tae-hoon of Kyung Hee University Oriental Medicine Hospital) were discussed.

On this day, Professor Terrier Alarak cited papers that revealed the effects of acupuncture on various diseases such as chronic back pain and migraines through practical randomized control studies. Practical randomized control studies are a method of comparing and evaluating the effects between treatments by dividing them into experimental groups and controls in an experimental model similar to the actual clinical care environment. In the West, he has been using practical randomized controlled clinical trials for the past 30 years to determine the extent and practical effectiveness of acupuncture studies"In order to achieve quality results in practical randomized trials, statistical and clinical safety and cost-effectiveness must be met."

In the second part, speakers came out on the subject of 'Base Synthesis and Open Science of Integrated Medicine'. Evidence synthesis is the process of synthesizing various studies and data to draw conclusions on a specific topic. This helps to provide a reliable medical basis. In addition, Open Science is a research method that provides transparent and reliable data under the concept that anyone should have access to scientific knowledge.

In the session, ▶ the quantity and quality of integrated medical evidence on chronic pain management (Professor Juan Franco at the University of Dusseldorf, Germany) ▶ Effect of open science and meta-research on integrated medicine research (Jeremy Ng, a researcher at Ottawa Hospital in Canada) ▶ Yoga and meditation on chronic pain (Professor at the University of Tubingen, Germany) ▶ Convergence of diverse perspectives: An introduction to integrated medicine (Lee Ye-seul, Director of the Spinal Joint Research Institute at Jaseng Oriental Medicine Hospital) was presented.

In particular, researcher Jeremy Ng drew attention by emphasizing why open science and meta-research are important for integrated medicine research. Meta-research is a research method that analyzes and identifies the principles of science itself. He emphasized that the design and data of research should be transparently disclosed through open science and meta-research, thereby promoting the standardization of integrated medical research.

After all the programs were completed, it ended with a closing speech by Park Byung-mo, chairman of the Self-Sustaining Medical Foundation. Chairman Park Byung-mo said, `A solid medical basis is essential for integrated medicine, which is drawing attention around the world, to move to the next stage.' `I hope this conference will serve as an opportunity to enhance the capabilities of researchers and expand the base of integrated medicine research.'
