To suggest and discuss an integrative medicine model for stroke patients, we introduce our experience in Korea, describe treatment modalities used for stroke in Korean medicine, and present safety data on integrative care.
For inpatients, integrative management is applied at the request of the primary physician with the consent of patients or their families. In the acute stage, neurologists or neurosurgeons take charge as the primary physicians. Korean medicine doctors cooperate as secondary physicians to the neurologists and neurosurgeons. After the acute stage, responsibilities are exchanged. The rehabilitation program is conducted under the supervision of rehabilitation medicine doctors. The most frequently used complementary and alternative medicine modalities are acupuncture (including manual acupuncture, electroacupuncture and intradermal acupuncture), moxibustion, herbal prescriptions, and acupuncture point injection.
Based on our field experiences, we believe it is worthwhile to continue efforts to integrate complementary and alternative medicine and Western medicine.
为了提出并讨论一种适用于脑卒中患者的整合医学模式，我们介绍了在韩国的经验，描述了韩国医学中用于脑卒中的治疗方法，并介绍了整合护理的安全性数据。
对于住院患者，整合管理是应主要治疗医师的要求，并在患者或其家属同意的情况下进行的。在急性期，神经科医生或神经外科医生担任主要治疗医师。中医师作为辅助医生与神经科医生和神经外科医生合作。急性期过后，职责会进行交换。康复计划在康复医学医生的监督下进行。最常使用的补充和替代医学方式是针灸（包括手动针灸、电针和皮内针）、艾灸、草药处方和穴位注射。
基于我们的实地经验，我们认为继续努力整合补充和替代医学与西方医学是值得的。
