A single-blind, placebo-controlled trial of a simple acupuncture treatment in the cessation of smoking. (1/332)

BACKGROUND: Tobacco smoking is a major cause of preventable disease and premature death. Physicians should play an active role in the control of smoking by encouraging cessation and helping the smoker to choose the most suitable aid to cessation. AIM: To evaluate a simple, ear acupuncture treatment for the cessation of smoking. METHOD: Randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled trial of 78 currently smoking volunteers from the general public. Volunteers attended an acupuncture clinic in a general practice setting and were given a single treatment of electroacupuncture using two needles at either an active or a placebo site plus self-retained ear seeds for two weeks. The major outcome measure was biochemically validated total cessation of smoking at six months. RESULTS: A total of 12.5% of the active treatment group compared with 0% of the placebo group ceased smoking at six months (P = 0.055, 95% confidence interval -0.033 to 0.323). CONCLUSION: This simple ear electroacupuncture treatment was significantly more effective in helping volunteers to quit smoking than placebo treatment.  (+info)

The effect of acupuncture in chronic intractable epilepsy. (2/332)

We examined the effect of acupuncture on epileptic seizures in humans in a controlled clinical setting. Treatment was administered by two Chinese professors of acupuncture. Effect was measured by change in seizure frequency. Twenty-nine patients with chronic intractable epilepsy completed the study. They were randomized in two groups; 15 were given classical acupuncture and 14 were given sham acupuncture. There was a reduction in seizure frequency in both groups, which did not reach a level of statistical significance. There was also an increase in the number of seizure-free weeks in both groups, which reached a level of significance in the sham group. Thus, we have not been able to prove a beneficial effect of acupuncture in chronic intractable epilepsy.  (+info)

Biomechanical response to acupuncture needling in humans. (3/332)

During acupuncture treatments, acupuncture needles are manipulated to elicit the characteristic "de qi" reaction widely viewed as essential to acupuncture's therapeutic effect. De qi has a biomechanical component, "needle grasp," which we have quantified by measuring the force necessary to pull an acupuncture needle out of the skin (pullout force) in 60 human subjects. We hypothesized that pullout force is greater with both bidirectional needle rotation (BI) and unidirectional rotation (UNI) than no rotation (NO). Acupuncture needles were inserted, manipulated, and pulled out by using a computer-controlled acupuncture needling instrument at eight acupuncture points and eight control points. We found 167 and 52% increases in mean pullout force with UNI and BI, respectively, compared with NO (repeated-measures ANOVA, P < 0.001). Pullout force was on average 18% greater at acupuncture points than at control points (P < 0.001). Needle grasp is therefore a measurable biomechanical phenomenon associated with acupuncture needle manipulation.  (+info)

Electroacupuncture prophylaxis of postoperative nausea and vomiting following pediatric tonsillectomy with or without adenoidectomy. (4/332)

BACKGROUND: Electrical stimulation of acupuncture point P6 reduces the incidence of postoperative nausea or vomiting (PONV) in adult patients. However, acupressure, laser stimulation of P6, and acupuncture during anesthesia have not been effective for reducing PONV in the pediatric population. The authors studied the effect of electrical P6 acupuncture in awake pediatric patients who had undergone surgery associated with a high incidence of PONV. METHODS: Patients aged 4-18 yr undergoing tonsillectomy with or without adenoidectomy were randomly assigned to acupuncture, sham acupuncture, or control groups. Acupuncture needles at P6 and a neutral point were placed while patients were anesthetized, and low-frequency electrical stimulation was applied to these points for 20 min in the recovery room while the patients were awake (P6 Acu group). This treatment was compared with sham needles along the arm at acupuncture points not associated with antiemesis (sham group) and a no-needle control group. The arms were wrapped to prevent identification of treatment group, and anesthetic, analgesic, and surgical technique were standardized. Assessed outcomes were occurrence of nausea, occurrence and number of episodes of vomiting, time to vomiting, and use of antiemetic rescue medication. RESULTS: One hundred twenty patients were enrolled in the study, 40 per group. There were no differences in age, weight, sex, or opioid administration between groups. The PONV incidence was significantly lower with P6 acupuncture (25 of 40 or 63%; odds ratio, 0.135; number needed to treat, 3.3; P < 0.001) compared with controls (37 of 40 or 93%). Sham puncture had no effect on PONV (35 of 40 or 88%; P = not significant). Occurrence of nausea was significantly less in P6 Acu (24 of 40 or 60%; odds ratio, 0.121; P < 0.01), but not in the sham group (34 of 40 or 85%) compared with the control group (37 of 40 or 93%). Vomiting occurred in 25 of 40 or 63% in P6 Acu; 35 of 40 or 88% in the sham group, and 31 in 40 or 78% in the control group (P = not significant). Patients receiving sham puncture vomited significantly earlier (P < 0.02) and needed more rescue treatment (33 of 40 or 83%; odds ratio, 3.48; P < 0.02) compared with P6 Acu (23 of 40 or 58%) and the control group (24 of 40 or 60%). CONCLUSIONS: Perioperative P6 electroacupuncture in awake patients significantly reduced the occurrence of nausea compared with the sham and control groups, but it did not significantly reduce the incidence or number of episodes of emesis or the use of rescue antiemetics. Sham acupuncture may exacerbate the severity but not the incidence of emesis. The efficacy of P6 acupuncture for PONV prevention is similar to commonly used pharmacotherapies. Its appropriate role in prevention and treatment of PONV requires further study.  (+info)

Transcutaneous electrical stimulation of an auricular acupuncture point decreases anesthetic requirement. (5/332)

BACKGROUND: German anesthesiologists have long used transcutaneous electrical stimulation of an acupuncture point near the tragus to reduce anesthetic requirement in unblinded and uncontrolled trials. This is known as auricular electrically stimulated analgesia. The authors therefore tested the hypothesis that auricular electrically stimulated analgesia reduces anesthetic requirement. METHODS: In a randomized, double-blind, crossover trial, volunteers were anesthetized twice with desflurane. Electrical stimulation of an auricular acupuncture point in the vicinity of the tragus was used on 1 randomly assigned day, and no electrical stimulation of the same point was used on the other study day. Treatment consisted of bilateral electrical stimulation of the lateralization control point, 3 cm anterior to the tragus. The 10-mA current was set to 299 Hz on the dominant side of the face and to 149 Hz on the contralateral side. Anesthetic requirement was determined by the Dixon up-and-down method and was defined by the average desflurane concentration required to prevent purposeful movement of the extremities in response to noxious electrical stimulation. RESULTS: Ten men and 10 women completed the protocol. Electrical stimulation of the lateralization control point reduced anesthetic requirement by 11 +/- 7% (P < 0.001), with the reduction being similar in women and men. Women required more desflurane to prevent movement on the control day than the men (5.5 +/- 1.0 vs. 4.6 +/- 0.6 vol%; P = 0.028). CONCLUSION: This double-blinded trial with an objective outcome demonstrates that electrical stimulation of the lateralization control point significantly reduces anesthetic requirement.  (+info)

Moxibustion in breech version--a descriptive review. (6/332)

The management of breech presentation at term remains controversial. It appears logical that maternal and perinatal outcomes would be improved if breech presentation could be avoided. External cephalic version is considered a safe procedure if cases are selected appropriately and anaesthesia avoided. Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese method of treatment, which utilizes the heat generated by burning herbal preparations containing the plant Artemisia vulgaris to stimulate the acupuncture points. It is used for breech version with a reported success rate of 84.6% after 34 weeks gestation. Moxibustion technique is cheap, safe, simple, self-administered, non-invasive, painless and generally well tolerated. Although many studies give encouraging results regarding the use of moxibustion in inducing cephalic version of breech presentation, a definitive conclusion cannot be made as most involve small sample sizes and are not randomised. Moxibustion could be an extra option offered to women with breech presentation along with vaginal delivery, caesarean section and external cephalic version. This article discusses the possible role of moxibustion in correction of breech presentation in the hope that, some interest will be stimulated in what is a very interesting area for future research.  (+info)

Evidence of connective tissue involvement in acupuncture. (7/332)

Acupuncture needle manipulation gives rise to "needle grasp," a biomechanical phenomenon characterized by an increase in the force necessary to pull the needle out of the tissue (pullout force). This study investigates the hypothesis that winding of connective tissue, rather than muscle contraction, is the mechanism responsible for needle grasp. We performed 1) measurements of pullout force in humans with and without needle penetration of muscle; 2) measurements of pullout force in anesthetized rats, with and without needle rotation, followed by measurements of connective tissue volume surrounding the needle; 3) imaging of rat abdominal wall explants, with and without needle rotation, using ultrasound scanning acoustic microscopy. We found 1) no evidence that increased penetration of muscle results in greater pullout force than increased penetration of subcutaneous tissue; 2) that both pullout force and subcutaneous tissue volume were increased by needle rotation; 3) that increased periodic architectural order was present in subcutaneous tissue with rotation, compared with no rotation. These data support connective tissue winding as the mechanism responsible for the increase in pullout force induced by needle rotation. Winding may allow needle movements to deliver a mechanical signal into the tissue and may be key to acupuncture's therapeutic mechanism.  (+info)

Treatment of cough and dyspnea due to acute bronchitis by plaster for cough and dyspnea--a report of 735 cases. (8/332)

In the light of the theory of treating the internal disease externally, an externally used plaster for treating cough and dyspnea due to acute bronchitis (Ke Chuan Yi Tie Kang [symbol: see text]-[symbol: see text]) was successfully applied to 735 cases of acute bronchitis (the treatment group), with the other 423 cases treated with routine western drugs as controls. The results showed that the cure rate in the treatment group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.01); and that in the treatment group, the cure rate for the wind-cold type of acute bronchitis was significantly higher than that for the wind-heat type of acute bronchitis (P < 0.01).  (+info)

A standardised anaesthesia regimen was used. Phenobarbital sodium (0.1 g intrasmuscular) and atropine (0.5 mg intrasmuscular) were administered for premedication half an hour before entering the operating theatre. Standard monitors were used during the intraoperative period to measure pulse oxygen saturation, heart rate, blood pressure and end-tidal CO2 gas tension. Anaesthesia was induced with midazolam (0.06-0.10 mg/kg intravenous (IV)), fentanyl (0.004-0.008 mg/kg IV), cisatracurium (0.15-0.20 mg/kg IV) and etomidate (0.20-0.40 mg/kg IV). Anaesthesia was maintained with propofol (4-8 mg/kg/h IV), sevoflurane (0.8-2%, inspired concentration) and atracurium (5 mg/kg/h IV) after endotracheal intubation. The pneumoperitoneum pressure range was set to 14-16 mm Hg.. After induction of anaesthesia, levobupivacaine 0.25% (3 mL per incision, a total of 9 mL per patient) was infiltrated in all patients before skin incisions for trocar insertion.

Abdominal Acupuncture (AA) is a new micro acupuncture method. The method is based on the use of three levels within our abdomen meridian system. By using needles to these abdominal acupuncture points many forms of disease can be treated.. The Abdominal Meridian System or AMS for short is a network of meridians dominated by the ShenQue system. The acupuncture point ShenQue is at the heart of AMS. AMS it self resembles the form of a tortoise and is usually referred to as such. When needles are placed on the points within AMS, one not only pays attention to the placement of the needle but also to the use of different depths of the needle. Practice has shown that when placing the needle on various depths results can drastically change.. The exceptionally beneficial results when using the AMS, could be explained as followed:. - During the embryonale stage the ShenQue point is at the centre of every microscopic regulation of the body ...

The major new findings of this study in normal healthy volunteers are 1) acupuncture at acupoints Li4, P6, and Liv3, at nonacupoints, and "no-needle" acupuncture does not modulate resting MSNA or MSNA responses to mental stress in normal humans; 2) acupuncture at acupoints Li4, P6, and Liv3 significantly attenuates the blood pressure response to mental stress; 3) acupuncture at nonacupoints also significantly decreases the blood pressure response to mental stress, although perhaps to a lesser degree, calling into question the specificity of traditional acupoints; 4) these findings are not explained by a "placebo effect" or a time effect, because no-needle acupuncture had no effect on the blood pressure response to mental stress; 5) these findings are not attributable to changes in MSNA, because the muscle sympathetic nerve response to mental stress was unchanged following acupuncture; and6) microneurography had an "acupuncture-like" effect, because the increase in mean arterial pressure during ...

Acupuncture is among the oldest healing practices in the world. In the United States, where practitioners incorporate healing traditions from China, Japan, Korea, and other countries, acupuncture is considered part of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM).. Acupuncture improves the bodys functions and promotes the natural self-healing process by stimulating specific anatomic sites-commonly referred to as acupuncture points, or acupoints. The most common method used to stimulate acupoints is the insertion of fine, sterile needles into the skin. Pressure, heat, or electrical stimulation may further enhance the effects. Other acupoint stimulation techniques include: manual massage, moxibustion or heat therapy, cupping, and the application of topical herbal medicines and linaments.. Traditional Chinese Medicine is based on an ancient philosophy that describes the universe, and the body, in terms of two opposing forces: yin and yang. When these forces are in balance, the body is healthy. ...

At NMCI, our Acupuncturists have years of experience in providing treatment that relieves pain from injuries to the spine, extremities.. Acupuncture is the practice of placing very thin needles through the skin in specific locations of the body for the purpose of healing and relief of symptoms. This practice is several thousand years old and is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine. As practiced today it is often combined with other interventions, such as sending a small current of electricity through the needles or burning herbs on the acupuncture points.. Acupuncture is based upon the Eastern philosophy of chi (also spelled qi), which is the Chinese term for the life force or vital energy. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) chi flows through pathways in the body known as meridians. Illness results from the flow of chi through the meridians being blocked, or by the two types of chi (yin and yang) being out of balance. Acupuncture is the practice of placing thin needles at acupuncture points, ...

In old conception, the points, meridians and organs form a complex inner and outer system. By needling or cauterizing the points the Qi in the meridians is regulated and thus the organs are brought into order. In the view of the ancient Chinese physicians, the meridians are a reflective system of the diseases of the organs and the points are the reflective spots of these meridians. The location of the points is important not only in the healing of the,diseases, it also bears a diagnostic meaning.. Li Qianxia states that the points themselves have no absolute meaning at all. Their effect in treatment is very often rather individual and depends on the patients disposition. Thus two patients suffering from gastric pain may have different reactions. After insertion into the point zusanli S 36 patients A condition may improve while that of patient B may not.

FAQ | Kristen Swegles LAcFAQ | Kristen Swegles LAc
How does acupuncture work?. Patterns of disharmony are treated with acupuncture using fine stainless steel needles that can tonify or augment, move stagnation, or redirect qi and blood. In addition, herbs continue these effects after the patient goes home to further resolve the imbalance.. The physiological effects of acupuncture work to increase endorphins (natural pain killers), serotonin (brightens mood), white blood cells (fight infection) and circulation (heals tissue).. Acupuncture points are specific areas on the body just beyond the surface of the skin. They have high concentrations of nerve endings, mast cells, lymphatic vessels, and capillaries. When an acupuncture needle is inserted into an acupuncture point, it stimulates the sensory receptor, which in turn stimulates the nerve, which then transmits impulses to the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal system. This complex system of interactions (often called a "feedback loop") between the brain, hormones, and glands is responsible for ...

11 Top Home Remedies For Food Allergies | Sun Signs11 Top Home Remedies For Food Allergies | Sun Signs
Alternative healing methods that fall outside conventional pharmaceutical treatments are widely used around the world to treat a wide variety of health problems, including food allergies.. One alternative healing therapy is yoga. It is a physical, mental, and spiritual practice that developed in India over 2500 years ago. Various asanas, or postures, that exercise the abdomen stimulate it to digest foods more efficiently and thereby reduce the allergic response.. An excellent yoga asana is the Marichyasana (Marichis Spinal Twist). Sit straight-legged. Keep your spine straight, bend your right leg at the knee, drawing your left foot as close possible to your right sit bone. Relax, return to a resting pose, then execute the asana with the left leg.. A second effective alternative healing treatment is acupuncture, which has been a key part of traditional Chinese medicine for over 2000 years.

BACKGROUND: Greater than 70% of patients with cancer experience chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. In the current study, the authors examined the effects of electrostimulation of the K1 acupoint located on the sole of the foot because it is believed to have the potential to control chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting.

What is a meridian loop? A meridian loop is formed by two meridians. These meridians are governor(督) and conception(任) vessels(胍). The governor vessel (督胍) is in the back of the torso where the acupoints are connected between the baihui(GV20) and huiyin(CV1). The conception vessel (任胍) in the front of the torso between the same acupoints. The baihui point is on top of the head; and the huiyin is at the bottom of the torso. However, the conception vessel runs through the navel and the huiyin acupoint. Lets imagine that between the navel and huiyin is a passage in the meridian loop. The dantian is located within the passage. That is why the dantian is very critical for qi to flow. In order to sink qi to the dantian, abdominal breathing must be performed. If not, then, it was said to be that the passage was blocked.. Therefore, qi is not able to flow in the meridian loop ...

  • The vast majority of papers studying acupuncture in the biomedical literature consist of case reports, case series, or intervention studies with designs inadequate to assess efficacy. (asahq.org)
  • An injection technique that I have employed in my practice that seems to enhance the efficacy of the injections is to utilize local acupuncture points along with the trigger points for the injections. (thefreedictionary.com)
