DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Korean acupuncture is used effectively for a variety of neurological conditions in Korea, including Parkinson's disease, stroke, pain, and bladder dysfunction. Success with this mode of therapy in the United States is documented less consistently, particularly in acute and rehabilitative stroke settings and Parkinson' s. Possible explanations for this disparity include variations in: criteria for patient selection; technique; specific outcome measures; patient beliefs; methods of reporting and other unknown factors. This NIH planning grant supports development of collaborative research efforts between investigators at Kyung Hee University in Korea and UNC - Chapel Hill for the study of Korean acupuncture in the two cultures as a way of understanding mechanisms of action and factors that optimize outcomes when applied to specific neurological conditions. The proposal will bring together investigators from the two institutions with expertise in these areas to develop ideas and pilot projects leading to more extensive research proposals. The proposal requests funding for development of parallel, interactive administrative structures to support exploration of innovative research strategies, project development and investigator training. The grant will provide funding for the development of the necessary infrastructure for effective collaboration that will lead to competitive proposals integrating animal models of human disease, clinical trials, and translational research in Korean acupuncture and neurological disorders.

描述（由申请人提供）：韩国针灸有效地用于韩国的各种神经系统疾病，包括帕金森病，中风，疼痛和膀胱功能障碍。在美国，这种治疗模式的成功记录不太一致，特别是在急性和康复性中风和帕金森氏症中。这种差异的可能解释包括：患者选择标准的变化;技术;具体的结局指标;患者信念;报告方法和其他未知因素。这项NIH计划拨款支持韩国庆熙大学和韩国查佩尔山的研究人员之间的合作研究工作的发展，以研究两种文化中的韩国针灸，作为理解作用机制和应用于特定神经系统疾病时优化结果的因素的一种方式。该提案将汇集两个机构在这些领域具有专门知识的研究人员，以制定想法和试点项目，从而提出更广泛的研究提案。该提案要求提供资金，以发展平行、互动的行政结构，支持探索创新的研究战略、项目开发和调查人员培训。这笔赠款将为有效合作所需的基础设施的发展提供资金，这将导致有竞争力的提案，整合人类疾病的动物模型，临床试验以及韩国针灸和神经系统疾病的转化研究。
