Professor Park Sung-wook of the Department of Oriental Medicine at Gangdong Kyunghee University Oriental Hospital recently won the Excellence Paper Award at the 23rd Korean Medical Association Academic Awards'.
The Korean Academy of Oriental Medicine's academic award is given to researchers who have made outstanding contributions to the research and academic activities of oriental medicine, and Professor Park Sung-wook was awarded with his thesis, 「Neuroimaging Assessment of the Therapeutics Mechanism of the Academy and Bee Venom Academy with Patients with Idiopathic Parkinson's Disease: A Double-blind Randomized Controlled Trial'. The study also won the clinical research category 'Best Foster' at the Society for Acupuncture Research (SAR) 2024 international conference held in Hong Kong from May 23 to 25.
This paper was conducted to investigate the mechanism of acupuncture treatment for Parkinson's disease radiologically.
Studies have shown that acupuncture treatment increases dopamine use in the striatum of Parkinson's disease patients and stabilizes the pathological hyperexcitement of the cerebral cortex. Professor Park Sung-wook "This study confirmed the effect of saliva on Parkinson's disease in the functional aspect of the brain, and this response was different from that of the control group, suggesting that the effect of saliva acts as a different mechanism than the placebo effect.", he explained.
Professor Park Sung-wook expressed his feelings, saying, `I am grateful and happy to receive the Excellence Paper Award.' `I hope that the results of this study will serve as an opportunity for oriental medicine to actively conduct epidemiology in the management of degenerative brain diseases such as Parkinson's disease, which is rapidly increasing with the aging population.' We are also grateful to professors of the Department of Circulatory Neurology, Nuclear Medicine, and Radiology at Kyung Hee University who participated as co-authors.
Meanwhile, Professor Park Sung-wook is a professor of oriental medicine at Gangdong Kyunghee University Oriental Hospital and is active in various fields, including the president of the Integrated Brain Disease Association, the director of the Institute of Human Intelligence, an expert advisor in the WHO International Classification of Diseases (ICTM) Oriental Medicine, and the director of the Korean Association of Chinese Medicine.
