The overall flow of research.
We observed the changes in NK cell number and SAP expression, emotion, and behavior by applying AT, a complementary alternative medicine (CAM) to the psychological risk factors of AUD. Resulting changes in psychological factors led to positive NK cell growth and changes in SAP expression. It has also been shown that positive changes in the MMPI-2 profile can also change the personality of the individual. This shows the connection between physiology and mental health in addiction rehabilitation and shows the importance of psychological rehabilitation. This study was the first to show the biological basis of the application of complementary therapies, a non-drug treatment method of AUD, to humans and to monitor progress.
