Abstract EN
Blood stasis is one of the important pathological concepts in Korean medicine.
We analyzed the Korean studies concerning blood stasis.
We searched for articles in eight electronic databases from their inception to September, 2014.
We included reviews, clinical studies, and preclinical studies that had studied blood stasis and excluded articles in which blood stasis was not mentioned or in which the original authors had not explained blood stasis.
Of 211 total included studies, 19 were reviews, 52 were clinical studies, and 140 were preclinical articles.
“Stagnant blood within the body” was the most frequently mentioned phrase of the traditional concept of blood stasis.
Traumatic injury was the most frequently studied disease/condition in the clinical studies.
In the preclinical studies, coagulopathy was studied most frequently, followed by hyperviscosity, hyperlipidemia, inflammation, neoplasm, ischemic brain injury, and atherosclerosis.
Hyeolbuchukeo-tang and Angelicae Gigantis Radix were the most frequent formula and single herb, respectively, used in the blood stasis researches.
The results showed that blood stasis was mainly recognized as disorder of circulation and many studies showed the effectiveness of activating blood circulating herbs for diseases and pathologies such as traumatic injury or coagulopathy.
Further studies are needed in the pathologic mechanisms and various diseases of blood stasis.
