Jasaeng Spine and Joint Research Institute Surpasses 100 Publications in SCI(E)-Indexed Journals

[Asia Economy Reporter Cho Hyun-ui] Jaseng Medical Foundation announced on the 6th that the number of SCI(E)-level papers published by the Jaseng Spine and Joint Research Institute has surpassed 100.

According to the foundation, the total number of SCI(E)-level papers published by the Jaseng Spine and Joint Research Institute to date is 105. As a Korean medicine spine specialty hospital, research has been conducted based on abundant clinical cases.

Notably, in 2013, the paper titled "Effect of Motion Style Acupuncture Treatment (MSAT) on Acute Low Back Pain Patients with Severe Functional Disability: A Multicenter, Randomized, Controlled, Comparative Effectiveness Study," which scientifically proved that MSAT's effect on acute low back pain is five times greater than that of painkillers, was published in the world-renowned pain journal ‘PAIN’.

The paper "Five-Year Results of Integrative Treatment for Low Back Pain Patients with Lower Limb Pain," which demonstrated the effect of integrative Korean medicine treatment through a long-term follow-up study of 128 patients with lumbar disc herniation, was published in the international journal ‘Spine’ in 2016. In the same year, the paper "Safety Report of Pharmacopuncture and Acupuncture in 80,523 Musculoskeletal Inpatients," published in the journal ‘Medicine,’ was also recognized for objectively revealing the safety of Korean medicine treatment through medical evidence using large-scale data.

Jaseng Medical Foundation plans to contribute to the cultivation of Korean medicine talents by creating an environment where residents of Jaseng Korean Medicine Hospital can conduct integrated research on papers. Since 2014, Jaseng Korean Medicine Hospital has established internal regulations to enable residents to publish papers as first authors in SCI(E)-level international journals, and for the past three consecutive years, all residents have completed paper publication.

Ha In-hyuk, director of the Jaseng Spine and Joint Research Institute, stated, "There are still many treatments in Korean medicine that have not been scientifically proven, and we plan to continuously expand the scope of research, including these treatments, new Korean medical technologies, and integrative Korean and Western medicine."
