The 1990 criteria combined widespread pain with tenderness at 11 or more of 18 sites; the 2010 criteria replaced that requirement with a combination of painful-site count and symptom severity; and the 2016 revision added generalized pain in four of five regions. This genealogy shows how a prespecified clinical pattern can support a positive judgment without a definitive biomarker. Meeting the criteria, however, does not establish pathophysiologic mechanism, the absence of other conditions, or the patient's whole condition. Quantitative sensory testing records responses to evoked stimuli, while the FIQR records function, overall impact, and symptoms over the previous seven days; neither tool alone determines cause or establishes an individual's diagnosis. - JATS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/pain-that-exists-before-the-test/full.xml - CSL JSON: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/pain-that-exists-before-the-test/citation.json - BibTeX: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/pain-that-exists-before-the-test/citation.bib - RIS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/pain-that-exists-before-the-test/citation.ris ### BRC-2026-W502: The Evidence Landscape of Fibromyalgia - Korean: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/evidence-landscape-of-fibromyalgia - English: https://research.baekrokdam.com/en/articles/evidence-landscape-of-fibromyalgia - Status: working-paper; type: evidence-map; published: 2026-09-11 - Abstract: This article compares the 2010 and 2016 fibromyalgia criteria, a sleep-measurement study in adults with comorbid fibromyalgia and insomnia, an FIQR validation study, and a scoping review of QST. The evidence shows that widespread pain and the burden of sleep, fatigue, and cognitive symptoms are repeatedly assessed together, while function and responses to evoked stimuli form separate measurement layers. Sleep methods can produce different estimates, however; FIQR convergence is a group-level result between questionnaires; and QST protocols are highly heterogeneous. The current evidence therefore does not establish causal order among domains, a single mechanism, or an individual diagnostic biomarker. The next study needs to measure symptoms, sleep, activity and function, and sensory responses repeatedly in the same participants along a connected timeline. - JATS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/evidence-landscape-of-fibromyalgia/full.xml - CSL JSON: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/evidence-landscape-of-fibromyalgia/citation.json - BibTeX: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/evidence-landscape-of-fibromyalgia/citation.bib - RIS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/evidence-landscape-of-fibromyalgia/citation.ris ### BRC-2026-W503: How Is Pain Measured? - Korean: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/how-is-pain-measured - English: https://research.baekrokdam.com/en/articles/how-is-pain-measured - Status: working-paper; type: methods; published: 2026-09-11 - Abstract: This article compares what the Widespread Pain Index (WPI), Symptom Severity Scale (SSS), pressure pain threshold (PPT), quantitative sensory testing (QST), and Revised Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQR) measure. WPI and SSS combine pain distribution over the previous week with the burden of accompanying symptoms; PPT and QST record responses under specified stimulus conditions; and FIQR asks about function, overall impact, and symptoms over the previous seven days. Because the constructs, time windows, test sites, protocols, and decision rules differ, the same person can be classified differently across tools. Such disagreement does not make one value false, and no tool by itself establishes the cause of pain, the validity of symptoms, a single mechanism, or an individual's diagnosis. The different measurement layers should be read together without being collapsed, and future studies need to apply them repeatedly to the same people. - JATS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/how-is-pain-measured/full.xml - CSL JSON: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/how-is-pain-measured/citation.json - BibTeX: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/how-is-pain-measured/citation.bib - RIS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/how-is-pain-measured/citation.ris ### BRC-2026-W504: A Day Before Asking to Be Believed - Korean: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/day-before-asking-to-be-believed - English: https://research.baekrokdam.com/en/articles/day-before-asking-to-be-believed - Status: working-paper; type: perspective; published: 2026-09-11 - Abstract: This article examines what fibromyalgia criteria, comparisons of sleep diaries, actigraphy, and polysomnography, FIQR, and QST record under different time windows and conditions. The criteria summarize pain distribution and symptom burden over the previous week; FIQR covers function, overall impact, and symptoms over seven days; the sleep methods observe one night or two weeks; and QST records evoked responses at a test encounter. This evidence does not establish the order in which pain, fatigue, disrupted sleep, cognitive difficulties, and worsening after activity unfold within one person's day. Disagreement among measurements or a single result within a normal range is not evidence that an unobserved relationship is absent. Studying actual temporal paths requires repeated, linked observations of sleep, time-stamped symptoms, activity, function, and recovery in the same people. - JATS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/day-before-asking-to-be-believed/full.xml - CSL JSON: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/day-before-asking-to-be-believed/citation.json - BibTeX: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/day-before-asking-to-be-believed/citation.bib - RIS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/day-before-asking-to-be-believed/citation.ris ### BRC-2026-W505: What the Absence of a Biomarker Does Not Mean - Korean: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/what-the-absence-of-a-biomarker-does-not-mean - English: https://research.baekrokdam.com/en/articles/what-the-absence-of-a-biomarker-does-not-mean - Status: working-paper; type: perspective; published: 2026-09-11 - Abstract: This article distinguishes the absence of a definitive biomarker from the absence of a basis for clinical judgment. The 2010 and 2016 fibromyalgia criteria structure patterns of pain distribution, symptom burden, and duration, but they do not establish a sole cause or define the entirety of a patient's condition. An individual's initial diagnosis requires a full medical evaluation that considers other and coexisting diagnoses, and a conclusion may be deferred when symptoms have been brief, are changing, or remain unclear. The current evidence does not provide a list of specific safety signals, a universal differential, a test panel, or a treatment rule. Nor can a particular negative test or QST result establish, beyond the target of the test, that pain is absent, an individual diagnosis is settled, or care is unnecessary. - JATS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/what-the-absence-of-a-biomarker-does-not-mean/full.xml - CSL JSON: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/what-the-absence-of-a-biomarker-does-not-mean/citation.json - BibTeX: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/what-the-absence-of-a-biomarker-does-not-mean/citation.bib - RIS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/what-the-absence-of-a-biomarker-does-not-mean/citation.ris ### BRC-2026-W506: Is Central Sensitization an Explanation or a Conclusion? - Korean: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/is-central-sensitization-an-explanation-or-a-conclusion - English: https://research.baekrokdam.com/en/articles/is-central-sensitization-an-explanation-or-a-conclusion - Status: working-paper; type: counter-hypothesis; published: 2026-09-11 - Abstract: This article distinguishes observation, explanation, and conclusion in research on sensory amplification in fibromyalgia. Multiple evoked-pain measures can be used to study the involvement of sensory facilitation and modulation, but they are not a single interchangeable test. The quality assessment in a 34-study review, protocol and site heterogeneity in a scoping review that included 126 of 2,512 records, and discordance between self-report and QST in a 22-participant comparison all limit mechanistic and individual-level conclusions. The current evidence does not establish central sensitization as a sole or exclusively central cause, an individual diagnostic criterion, a pain-validity test, or a stable temporal marker. Longitudinal designs that repeatedly measure standardized sensory responses alongside symptoms and function in the same people are needed to distinguish causal direction and subgroups. - JATS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/is-central-sensitization-an-explanation-or-a-conclusion/full.xml - CSL JSON: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/is-central-sensitization-an-explanation-or-a-conclusion/citation.json - BibTeX: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/is-central-sensitization-an-explanation-or-a-conclusion/citation.bib - RIS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/is-central-sensitization-an-explanation-or-a-conclusion/citation.ris ### BRC-2026-W507: Pain, Sensitization, Fatigue, and Functional Impairment - Korean: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/pain-sensitization-fatigue-functional-impairment - English: https://research.baekrokdam.com/en/articles/pain-sensitization-fatigue-functional-impairment - Status: working-paper; type: methods; published: 2026-09-11 - Abstract: This article distinguishes the observations denoted by pain, fatigue, sensitization, functional impairment, and post-activity worsening in discussions of fibromyalgia. The 2016 criteria structure painful sites, spatial distribution, and fatigue over the previous week, while the FIQR distinguishes difficulty with activities and overall impact over the past seven days from its symptom items. QST observes protocol-dependent psychophysical responses to controlled stimuli; it is not a sole mechanism, an individual diagnosis, or a test of whether pain is genuine. Because the current evidence does not align activity and symptoms on one time axis, it does not establish the onset, magnitude, duration, recovery, causal direction, or universality of post-activity worsening. Observations recorded together may be related, but they are neither identical nor causally ordered by that fact. - JATS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/pain-sensitization-fatigue-functional-impairment/full.xml - CSL JSON: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/pain-sensitization-fatigue-functional-impairment/citation.json - BibTeX: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/pain-sensitization-fatigue-functional-impairment/citation.bib - RIS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/pain-sensitization-fatigue-functional-impairment/citation.ris ### BRC-2026-W508: The Next Study That Tracks Symptoms and Function Together - Korean: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/longitudinal-fibromyalgia-symptoms-function-study - English: https://research.baekrokdam.com/en/articles/longitudinal-fibromyalgia-symptoms-function-study - Status: working-paper; type: protocol; published: 2026-09-11 - Abstract: This article proposes a longitudinal fibromyalgia study that aligns symptom diaries, sleep, activity, FIQR function, quantitative sensory testing (QST), and treatment context on a shared person-level clock while preserving them as distinct measures. After a brief feasibility phase, frequency, windows, valid-day rules, retest intervals, and primary outcomes would be prespecified; within-person change would be separated from between-person differences; and rival explanations, including reverse direction, burden, and missingness, would be compared. Clinical safety signals, participant burden, and measurement- and study-level stopping rules remain separate. This is neither a validated optimal protocol nor a finding of causality or treatment effect: activity is not function, actigraphy is not sleep experience, and QST is not a sole mechanism, individual diagnosis, or pain-validity test. - JATS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/longitudinal-fibromyalgia-symptoms-function-study/full.xml - CSL JSON: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/longitudinal-fibromyalgia-symptoms-function-study/citation.json - BibTeX: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/longitudinal-fibromyalgia-symptoms-function-study/citation.bib - RIS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/longitudinal-fibromyalgia-symptoms-function-study/citation.ris ### BRC-2026-W301: Functional Dyspepsia and Accumulation (積) in Classical Texts: Overlapping Discomfort, Different Criteria - Korean: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/functional-dyspepsia-classical-accumulation-different-criteria - English: https://research.baekrokdam.com/en/articles/functional-dyspepsia-classical-accumulation-different-criteria - Status: working-paper; type: perspective; published: 2026-08-29 - Abstract: Functional dyspepsia and accumulation (積) in classical medical texts share expressions such as epigastric discomfort, nausea, belching, and fullness. Rome IV, however, defines its diagnostic scope through four core symptoms, frequency and duration thresholds, and exclusion of structural disease, whereas selected passages in Jingui Gouxuan, Zabing Guangyao, and Donguibogam also record pulse findings, palpable form and movement, location, diarrhea, and changes after defecation. Shared symptom terms therefore do not establish diagnostic, mechanistic, or causal equivalence. No material reviewed here applies Rome IV and contemporary damjeok criteria to the same people, and the classical sources lack adequate edition, facsimile, character-variant, and translation controls. The article sets out these limits and proposes conditions for a future study that records the two sets of observations independently in the same participants at the same time. Another diagnostic vocabulary cannot replace clinical evaluation for structural disease. - JATS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/functional-dyspepsia-classical-accumulation-different-criteria/full.xml - CSL JSON: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/functional-dyspepsia-classical-accumulation-different-criteria/citation.json - BibTeX: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/functional-dyspepsia-classical-accumulation-different-criteria/citation.bib - RIS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/functional-dyspepsia-classical-accumulation-different-criteria/citation.ris - Reader edition of: BRC-CL-2026-005-obj-01 ### BRC-2026-W302: Seven Selected Occurrences of 痰積, 積聚, and 食積 in Electronic Texts - Korean: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/seven-selected-historical-term-occurrences-electronic-texts - English: https://research.baekrokdam.com/en/articles/seven-selected-historical-term-occurrences-electronic-texts - Status: working-paper; type: research-article; published: 2026-08-29 - Abstract: This source note examines seven occurrences of 痰積, 積聚, and 食積 selected after checking sentences and their surrounding contexts in character-normalized electronic records. Two locations in Jingui Gouxuan concern diarrhea and historical treatment, and dizziness and pulse observation; two in Zabing Guangyao concern palpable form, movement, and location; and three in Donguibogam concern chest and intestinal locations, lists of illness presentations, and fever and headache resembling cold damage (傷寒). The terms do not follow one fixed explanatory pattern across these seven locations. Because the examples were purposively selected, they cannot establish distribution, representativeness, or genealogy across a book or period, and electronic line numbers are not edition page or folio locators. The quotations and renderings remain provisional without adequate edition, facsimile, character-variant, and translation controls; historical treatment language is not current guidance or evidence of efficacy. - JATS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/seven-selected-historical-term-occurrences-electronic-texts/full.xml - CSL JSON: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/seven-selected-historical-term-occurrences-electronic-texts/citation.json - BibTeX: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/seven-selected-historical-term-occurrences-electronic-texts/citation.bib - RIS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/seven-selected-historical-term-occurrences-electronic-texts/citation.ris - Reader edition of: BRC-CL-2026-005-obj-02 ### BRC-2026-W201: Re-reading Cold Hands and Feet on One Person’s Timeline - Korean: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/felt-cold-and-measured-cold - English: https://research.baekrokdam.com/en/articles/felt-cold-and-measured-cold - Status: working-paper; type: critical-synthesis; published: 2026-08-21 - Abstract: A report of cold hands or feet can refer to felt cold, site-matched skin-surface temperature, an explicitly named local flow or perfusion measure, and the rewarming course, but these four observations are not substitutes for one another. In a provoked immersion series of 12 people selected for cold-sensitive hands, median superficial dorsal-hand perfusion changed little from 52.5 to 51.3 perfusion units, while participant-level values rose in six and fell in six. Other controlled studies found different cold ratings at comparable measured temperatures. In a separate foot-immersion test, the injury group differed from two control groups in sensation and coldest-toe temperature at minutes five and ten, while great-toe temperature did not differ, the mean-toe result did not cross the conventional statistical significance threshold, and great-toe cutaneous vascular conductance was also similar. Temperature and recovery values also had to be interpreted with their device, exact site, sampling schedule, time origin, and endpoint. None of these findings identifies a cause or subtype, and a specific exposure, skin or tissue finding, or relevant disease context changes the question being asked. From 2026-08-16T16:06:11Z to 2026-08-16T20:19:50Z, 238 records were screened across 13 prespecified PubMed searches; passages cited in the synthesis were checked through 2026-08-17T03:40:34Z. Within that route and date range, we found no qualifying hand dataset that synchronized participant-level felt cold, site-matched skin-surface temperature, an explicitly named local flow or perfusion measure, and the complete rewarming course during naturally occurring recurrent episodes; the same bounded result arose separately for feet. This does not establish absence from unreviewed results, other databases, inaccessible material, or later publications. The next step is a prospective repeated-observation study that keeps hands and feet separate and preserves individual trajectories, but it remains unvalidated until feasibility and synchronization, technical repeatability and device-site agreement, Korean and English sensory-wording evaluation, prespecified construct-validity testing, and external replication succeed. - JATS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/felt-cold-and-measured-cold/full.xml - CSL JSON: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/felt-cold-and-measured-cold/citation.json - BibTeX: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/felt-cold-and-measured-cold/citation.bib - RIS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/felt-cold-and-measured-cold/citation.ris - Reader edition of: BRC-2026-W201, BRC-2026-W202 ### BRC-2026-W202: Recording distal cold and rewarming on the same timeline - Korean: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/recording-distal-cold-and-rewarming - English: https://research.baekrokdam.com/en/articles/recording-distal-cold-and-rewarming - Status: protocol; type: methods; published: 2026-08-21 - Abstract: Research on recurrent cold hands or feet can become uninterpretable before analysis begins. A single episode may generate a momentary cold-sensation rating, a skin-surface temperature at one named site, a flow or perfusion result from one named tissue compartment, and several possible summaries of rewarming. These observations sometimes align and sometimes diverge, while baseline, onset, exposure, first measurement, recovery, and clinical-course clocks are not interchangeable. The unresolved reader problem is therefore not how to choose one measure as the truth, but how to observe their relation without collapsing constructs, sites, compartments, or clocks. - JATS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/recording-distal-cold-and-rewarming/full.xml - CSL JSON: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/recording-distal-cold-and-rewarming/citation.json - BibTeX: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/recording-distal-cold-and-rewarming/citation.bib - RIS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/recording-distal-cold-and-rewarming/citation.ris ### BRC-2026-E103: When the Thermometer Says Nothing Is Wrong - Korean: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/when-the-thermometer-says-nothing-is-wrong - English: https://research.baekrokdam.com/en/articles/when-the-thermometer-says-nothing-is-wrong - Status: working-paper; type: perspective; published: 2026-08-15 - Abstract: One side of the body can feel burned or frozen while a thermometer or thermogram shows little unusual. We often try to choose between sensation and number. But an infrared camera samples one moment at the skin surface, whereas the nervous system reads temperature together with rate of change, location, contrast, pain, and threat. Healthy people vary widely in detecting the same thermal change; innocuous cooling can feel warm, and mild temperatures can evoke burning. After nerve injury, small cooling can become severe pain. Sensation is not a thermometer, but that does not make it false. Trouble begins when one normal test becomes a verdict on the whole experience. Direct research is missing, yet studies of chronic pain and illness show how disbelief and self-doubt, concealment, and relational withdrawal can deepen isolation. Rather than choosing a winner between two data streams, this essay proposes placing location, time, temperature, sensory thresholds, and social response on the same event timeline. - JATS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/when-the-thermometer-says-nothing-is-wrong/full.xml - CSL JSON: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/when-the-thermometer-says-nothing-is-wrong/citation.json - BibTeX: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/when-the-thermometer-says-nothing-is-wrong/citation.bib - RIS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/when-the-thermometer-says-nothing-is-wrong/citation.ris - Reader edition of: BRC-2026-W001, BRC-2026-W106 ### BRC-2026-E102: Can We Overlay the Back-Shu Map on Heat Felt in the Back? - Korean: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/do-back-shu-points-map-back-heat - English: https://research.baekrokdam.com/en/articles/do-back-shu-points-map-back-heat - Status: working-paper; type: perspective; published: 2026-08-15 - Abstract: What would appear if a Back-Shu map were overlaid on the body of someone who feels heat in the back? The concepts share a region, and classical medicine discusses viscera and heat together. Yet the Donguibogam sentence on back heat contains no acupoint, while the Lingshu chapter on Back-Shu points contains no heat sensation. The Suwen does connect heat with the vicinity of visceral Shu points, but in the treatment architecture of heat illness, not spontaneous back heat. Modern studies have measured temperature and tissue differences at some Back-Shu sites, but have not studied people recruited for back heat. This essay treats the mismatch not as failure but as a blueprint: map the felt location first, measure thermography during an episode, and only then overlay a blinded point grid and compare point centres with adjacent and mirrored skin. A historically plausible connection exists. Whether Back-Shu points cause, diagnose, or treat back heat remains a question before experiment, not a conclusion after it. - JATS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/do-back-shu-points-map-back-heat/full.xml - CSL JSON: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/do-back-shu-points-map-back-heat/citation.json - BibTeX: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/do-back-shu-points-map-back-heat/citation.bib - RIS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/do-back-shu-points-map-back-heat/citation.ris - Reader edition of: BRC-2026-W105 ### BRC-2026-E101: What Should We Measure When Someone Says Their Back Feels Hot? - Korean: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/when-the-back-feels-hot-scientific-essay - English: https://research.baekrokdam.com/en/articles/when-the-back-feels-hot-scientific-essay - Status: working-paper; type: perspective; published: 2026-08-15 - Abstract: “My back feels hot” is a clear statement, but the object of study is not. Skin-surface temperature, spontaneous warmth, burning pain, itch-associated burning, and responses to imposed thermal stimuli may be different phenomena. We searched modern biomedical research, Korean scholarship, related expressions in East Asian medical texts, and clinical safety guidance. The search did not reveal one cause. It revealed that several observations had been folded into one symptom name while different fields measured only fragments of it. This reader edition reconnects the evidence of four source papers as one scientific essay. - JATS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/when-the-back-feels-hot-scientific-essay/full.xml - CSL JSON: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/when-the-back-feels-hot-scientific-essay/citation.json - BibTeX: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/when-the-back-feels-hot-scientific-essay/citation.bib - RIS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/when-the-back-feels-hot-scientific-essay/citation.ris - Reader edition of: BRC-2026-W101, BRC-2026-W102, BRC-2026-W103, BRC-2026-W104 ### BRC-2026-W106: Felt and Measured Temperature: Thermosensation, Invalidation, and Isolation - Korean: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/felt-temperature-measured-temperature-discordance - English: https://research.baekrokdam.com/en/articles/felt-temperature-measured-temperature-discordance - Status: working-paper; type: critical-synthesis; published: 2026-08-15 - Abstract: The statement “I feel hot” and a Celsius value from infrared thermography do not measure the same object. A camera estimates surface temperature at a particular site and moment; a report integrates cutaneous and deeper inputs, rate of change, spatial contrast, nociception, autonomic state, and context. Even among healthy participants, accuracy in detecting thermal change varies widely, while innocuous cooling can be experienced as warmth and interlaced warm–cool stimulation can evoke burning pain. In neuropathic sensory states, mild cooling may become severe pain. Physiological events can also occur without awareness. A single unremarkable thermogram therefore means no surface-temperature anomaly was detected under those conditions; it does not prove that recurrent thermal experience is absent. Conversely, symptom report alone cannot diagnose a particular neuropathy or autonomic disorder. Quantitative sensory testing measures detection and pain thresholds but depends on cooperation and standardization; thermography is sensitive to environment, acclimatization, region selection, and timing. We found no study directly testing whether this discordance causes social isolation. Indirect evidence from chronic pain and persistent unexplained symptoms links disbelief, unexplained normalization, self-doubt, and withdrawal with isolation. Rather than upgrading this indirect evidence to causation, we propose: qualitative work beginning with patients’ language; 21-day event-contingent repeated measurement; simultaneous standardized thermography, quantitative sensory testing, and perception ratings; and prospective measurement of communication, invalidation, and isolation. Sensation is not a thermometer, and a thermometer is not a lie detector for sensation. - JATS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/felt-temperature-measured-temperature-discordance/full.xml - CSL JSON: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/felt-temperature-measured-temperature-discordance/citation.json - BibTeX: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/felt-temperature-measured-temperature-discordance/citation.bib - RIS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/felt-temperature-measured-temperature-discordance/citation.ris ### BRC-2026-W105: Back-Shu Points and Heat on the Back: A Textual Genealogy and Modern Measurement Evidence Map - Korean: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/back-shu-points-and-back-heat-evidence-map - English: https://research.baekrokdam.com/en/articles/back-shu-points-and-back-heat-evidence-map - Status: working-paper; type: evidence-map; published: 2026-08-15 - Abstract: Heat on the back (beire) and Back-Shu points (beishu) both invoke the back, and classical medicine often relates heat to viscera, making a direct connection tempting. Separated by textual genealogy, however, the relationship is limited. The Donguibogam entry quotes the Yixue Rumen to place back heat in a lung and upper-burner explanatory network but mentions neither an acupoint nor needling. The Lingshu chapter locates visceral Back-Shu points by vertebral level and palpatory response but does not discuss back heat. The Suwen places ten points beside the five visceral Shu points within a needling system for heat illness, not a study of spontaneous localized heat on the back. A 2022 systematic review of ten acupoint-temperature studies could not establish disease specificity because of heterogeneity and methodological limitations. A 2024 thermographic study of 50 people with lumbar-disc-herniation low-back pain and 45 healthy controls reported asymmetry at several lumbar Back-Shu points, but did not recruit people for back heat. A study of 48 healthy adults found site-to-site differences in tissue properties and pressure sensitivity, showing that anatomy alone can create apparent point differences. Current evidence therefore supports a testable historical and measurement hypothesis—not the conclusion that Back-Shu points cause, diagnose, or treat heat on the back. - JATS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/back-shu-points-and-back-heat-evidence-map/full.xml - CSL JSON: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/back-shu-points-and-back-heat-evidence-map/citation.json - BibTeX: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/back-shu-points-and-back-heat-evidence-map/citation.bib - RIS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/back-shu-points-and-back-heat-evidence-map/citation.ris ### BRC-2026-W101: The construct problem in recurrent localized back heat - Korean: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/recurrent-localized-back-heat-constructs - English: https://research.baekrokdam.com/en/articles/recurrent-localized-back-heat-constructs - Status: working-paper; type: critical-synthesis; published: 2026-08-15 - Abstract: Recurrent localized back heat or burning sounds like one observation, yet spontaneous sensation, skin-surface temperature, evoked thermoception, and conditional safety assessment are distinct evidence objects. This critical synthesis crosses indirect evidence on pain language, sensory testing, thermography, dorsal sensory syndromes, and two selected UK guidelines. No reviewed source establishes a default cause or diagnosis. A useful next study must preserve participants’ wording, location, depth, boundary, and timing, then link each episode to concurrent measurements. - JATS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/recurrent-localized-back-heat-constructs/full.xml - CSL JSON: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/recurrent-localized-back-heat-constructs/citation.json - BibTeX: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/recurrent-localized-back-heat-constructs/citation.bib - RIS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/recurrent-localized-back-heat-constructs/citation.ris ### BRC-2026-W102: What has actually been studied around localized back heat - Korean: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/localized-back-heat-evidence-map - English: https://research.baekrokdam.com/en/articles/localized-back-heat-evidence-map - Status: working-paper; type: evidence-map; published: 2026-08-15 - Abstract: This evidence map asks what has actually been studied around recurrent localized back heat. Prespecified source roles covered modern biomedical literature, Korean and East Asian databases, classical terminology, and safety sources; twelve priority objects received passage-level verification. The available literature clusters around itch-defined dorsal sensory syndromes, evoked sensory testing, post-exercise skin temperature, pain descriptors, and selected safety guidelines. No participant-level study was found that linked a spontaneous target episode with concurrent skin temperature and sensory testing. Negative yields define a bounded search gap, not proof of absence. - JATS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/localized-back-heat-evidence-map/full.xml - CSL JSON: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/localized-back-heat-evidence-map/citation.json - BibTeX: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/localized-back-heat-evidence-map/citation.bib - RIS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/localized-back-heat-evidence-map/citation.ris ### BRC-2026-W103: A prospective observation protocol for recurrent localized back heat - Korean: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/localized-back-heat-observation-protocol - English: https://research.baekrokdam.com/en/articles/localized-back-heat-observation-protocol - Status: protocol; type: protocol; published: 2026-08-15 - Abstract: This protocol specifies a small prospective feasibility study of recurrent heat, warmth, burning, or adjacent thermal expressions localized to the back. Participants’ original wording and drawn boundaries are preserved before investigators apply a prespecified eligibility dictionary. Event, symptom-free comparator, and standardized-visit clocks are separated; sensation maps, skin-surface temperature, evoked thermoception, functional impact, and context remain non-interchangeable observation lanes. The study does not validate a diagnostic tool, and it treats safety exits and missingness as reportable outcomes. - JATS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/localized-back-heat-observation-protocol/full.xml - CSL JSON: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/localized-back-heat-observation-protocol/citation.json - BibTeX: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/localized-back-heat-observation-protocol/citation.bib - RIS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/localized-back-heat-observation-protocol/citation.ris ### BRC-2026-W104: What the thermal adjective does not decide - Korean: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/localized-back-heat-negative-evidence-safety-boundaries - English: https://research.baekrokdam.com/en/articles/localized-back-heat-negative-evidence-safety-boundaries - Status: working-paper; type: counter-hypothesis; published: 2026-08-15 - Abstract: “Heat” or “burning” may matter clinically, but the word alone cannot establish cause, risk, imaging need, or reassurance. This counter-hypothesis combines inconsistent descriptor evidence, selection and missingness in dorsal sensory cohorts, construct differences across thermography and sensory testing, and the conditional context of selected NICE guidelines. Those guidelines do not use thermal wording as a stand-alone decision rule; they depend on population, tempo, distribution, and associated findings. Research phenotyping must therefore remain separate from safety decisions, and this paper does not offer individual clinical instructions. - JATS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/localized-back-heat-negative-evidence-safety-boundaries/full.xml - CSL JSON: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/localized-back-heat-negative-evidence-safety-boundaries/citation.json - BibTeX: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/localized-back-heat-negative-evidence-safety-boundaries/citation.bib - RIS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/localized-back-heat-negative-evidence-safety-boundaries/citation.ris ### BRC-2026-W001: The Back Burns and the Hands Feel Cold: Reconstructing Cold–Heat from a Single Score into a Spatiotemporal Phenotype - Korean: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/hot-back-cold-hands-thermal-discordance - English: https://research.baekrokdam.com/en/articles/hot-back-cold-hands-thermal-discordance - Status: working-paper; type: critical-synthesis; published: 2026-08-13 - Abstract: When one person reports heat in the back and a deep chill in the hands at the same time, placing the experience on a single “cold or heat” axis erases its most clinically informative features: distribution and simultaneity. Replacing that experience with one thermographic image erases sensory coding, temporal delay, adaptation, and context. This problem-led critical synthesis reads Korean-medicine cold–heat questionnaires; Korean and Japanese work on cold hypersensitivity; thermosensory physiology; quantitative sensory testing; vascular provocation; objective–subjective discordance in hot flushes; neuropathic burning; and the regional, depth, and temporal distinctions preserved in the Donguibogam. Three recurrent reductions emerge: spatial reduction of whole-body cold–heat into a sum score; temporal reduction of a fluctuating event to resting skin temperature; and criterion circularity when groups defined by expert judgment or self-report are reclassified using closely related questions or images. We propose a “local thermal field” that records, for location l and time t, perceived quality and intensity P(l,t), skin temperature and its rate of change T(l,t), cold and warm detection Q(l,t), perfusion and rewarming V(l,t), provoking and relieving context C(t), and functional effect F(t). This is not a new diagnosis but a measurement grammar for separating competing explanations. The first study should not train an AI to guess disease or test treatment effectiveness. It should combine cognitive interviews, 14-day event-based body maps, ambient temperature, and standardized rest–provocation–recovery observations to test repeatability, added information, and feasibility. The contribution of Korean-medicine observation is not to replace biomedical measurement, but to preserve experiences in which different regions move in different directions and to make any added prognostic, functional, or treatment-selection value falsifiable. - JATS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/hot-back-cold-hands-thermal-discordance/full.xml - CSL JSON: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/hot-back-cold-hands-thermal-discordance/citation.json - BibTeX: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/hot-back-cold-hands-thermal-discordance/citation.bib - RIS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/hot-back-cold-hands-thermal-discordance/citation.ris ### BRC-2026-W003: Where Was Wuling San Placed? Reorganization of the Three Methods for Treating Water in Shanghan Lun Zhu and Shanghan Lun Yi - Korean: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/wuling-san-three-burner-reorganization - English: https://research.baekrokdam.com/en/articles/wuling-san-three-burner-reorganization - Status: working-paper; type: research-article; published: 2026-08-15 - Abstract: Shanghan Lun Zhu and Shanghan Lun Yi, both associated with Ke Qin, each present “three methods for treating water” across the upper, middle, and lower burners, yet Wuling San does not occupy the same position. In the inspected Shanghan Lun Zhu witness, Xiao Qing Long Tang, Shi Zao Tang, and Wuling San occupy the upper, middle, and lower positions respectively. In Shanghan Lun Yi, Wuling San is paired with Xiao Qing Long Tang in the upper-burner clause, while Gui Zhi Qu Gui Jia Ling Zhu Tang occupies the lower clause. We compared normalized transcriptions, independent public transcriptions, and facsimile pages. The result shows that the symptom–method–formula arrangement was not stably repeated under the same heading. It does not by itself establish authorial intent, the exact moment of revision, or an edition genealogy. Contemporary formulary and paediatric uses provide secondary context for other editorial units in which Wuling San was invoked. - JATS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/wuling-san-three-burner-reorganization/full.xml - CSL JSON: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/wuling-san-three-burner-reorganization/citation.json - BibTeX: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/wuling-san-three-burner-reorganization/citation.bib - RIS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/wuling-san-three-burner-reorganization/citation.ris ### BRC-2026-W004: What Observes Insomnia? A Non-equivalent Cross-analysis of Donguibogam and Modern Sleep Measurement - Korean: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/donguibogam-modern-insomnia-measurement - English: https://research.baekrokdam.com/en/articles/donguibogam-modern-insomnia-measurement - Status: working-paper; type: critical-synthesis; published: 2026-08-15 - Abstract: Donguibogam passages on sleeplessness do not collapse experienced wakefulness, restless or unstable sleep, contexts of post-illness debility and age, and explanations such as phlegm and the spirit failing to return to its abode into one layer. Modern insomnia research likewise shows that self-report, sleep diaries, actigraphy, and polysomnography observe sleep through different rules and may disagree. We cross-analysed a normalized and facsimile-checked classical section with one full-text systematic review and two full-text observational studies across four axes: experience, time, recording instrument, and classificatory purpose. The traditions can be compared in their shared act of stratifying sleep problems, but their categories, mechanisms, and measures are not translatable. Classical 不寐 cannot be retrospectively diagnosed as sleep-state misperception, nor can modern device measurement validate 神不歸舍. Integrative research should keep observations apart from the explanations attached to them and clearly mark where the two traditions overlap, differ, or do not correspond. - JATS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/donguibogam-modern-insomnia-measurement/full.xml - CSL JSON: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/donguibogam-modern-insomnia-measurement/citation.json - BibTeX: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/donguibogam-modern-insomnia-measurement/citation.bib - RIS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/donguibogam-modern-insomnia-measurement/citation.ris ### BRC-2026-P002: How Should Persistent Symptoms Not Fully Explained by Diagnosis Be Studied? A Protocol for Scope, Observational Language, and Dual-Track Safety - Korean: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/symptoms-beyond-diagnostic-boundaries-protocol - English: https://research.baekrokdam.com/en/articles/symptoms-beyond-diagnostic-boundaries-protocol - Status: protocol; type: protocol; published: 2026-08-12 - Abstract: Some patients continue to experience symptoms and impaired daily function after receiving a diagnosis or completing multiple investigations. These experiences arise in different situations—including residual symptoms of established disease, an evolving differential diagnosis, functional syndromes, and changes after infection or treatment—and should not be collapsed into one cause or a new disorder. This protocol proposes a way to preserve those differences while observing features that diagnostic labels may miss: sequence of onset, symptoms that change together, daily context, loss of function, and response to treatment over time. Two paths remain active. One continues appropriate medical differential diagnosis and reassessment as symptoms, red flags, and trajectories change. The other records patient-important symptoms and function, treatment exposure, and harm without waiting for perfect diagnostic closure. Contemporary research and lived experience are read alongside East Asian primary texts, commentaries and cases, and Korean, Chinese, and Japanese clinical traditions without assuming that their concepts are equivalent. Whether Korean-medicine observations add value must be tested by asking if they improve reproducibility, prediction, or clinical decisions beyond diagnoses and standard measures alone. This is a research design, not a screening tool, treatment recommendation, or efficacy claim. - JATS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/symptoms-beyond-diagnostic-boundaries-protocol/full.xml - CSL JSON: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/symptoms-beyond-diagnostic-boundaries-protocol/citation.json - BibTeX: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/symptoms-beyond-diagnostic-boundaries-protocol/citation.bib - RIS: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/symptoms-beyond-diagnostic-boundaries-protocol/citation.ris ### BRC-2026-P001: Allostasis and Korean Medicine Revisited: A Protocol for Mapping Concepts, Measurement, and Translational Hypotheses - Korean: https://research.baekrokdam.com/articles/allostasis-korean-medicine-revisited-protocol - English: https://research.baekrokdam.com/en/articles/allostasis-korean-medicine-revisited-protocol - Status: protocol; type: protocol; published: 2026-08-12 - Abstract: This protocol re-examines claims advanced in the 2012 series “Allostasis and Korean Medicine” using contemporary conceptual scholarship, biomedical literature, classical Korean-medicine sources, and counter-evidence.
