Acupuncture increases the total effective rate of psychological intervention for the relief of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Weifang Municipal Yidu Central Hospital researchers combined acupuncture with standard psychological treatment. Treatment with both acupuncture and psychological intervention produced an 83.3% total effective rate. Patients using only psychological intervention had a 63.3% total effective rate. [1] The results were measured with the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) test and the Digi-Lite Digital Transcranial Doppler (TCD).

Warm needle acupuncture produced significantly greater clinical improvements and produced a lower relapse rate than flunarizine. [1] The following measurement parameters were recorded and evaluated: Dizziness Handicap Inventory (DHI), Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and dizziness duration.

[1] In a comparison of treatment protocols, two types of acupuncture were compared. Two groups received identical treatments using electroacupuncture; however, one group also received warm needle acupuncture via moxibustion. Warm needle acupuncture produced a 96.15% total effective rate compared with unheated needles, which achieved a 69.23% total effective rate.

Acupuncture reduces low back pain and referred leg pain for patients with lumbar disc herniations. Haikou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine researchers compared the therapeutic results of two groups. One group received oral diclofenac and the other group received acupuncture in addition to diclofenac. The group receiving the integrative medicine treatment protocol significantly outperformed the group receiving drug monotherapy. The researchers conclude that acupuncture significantly contributes to pain reduction for patients with lumbar disc herniations.

Acupuncture demonstrates clinical efficacy for relieving pain after Cesarean delivery (C-section). Xu et al. compared patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PICA) monotherapy with an electroacupuncture integrative medicine protocol. Based on the data, the researchers conclude that electroacupuncture plus medications is significantly safer and more effective in producing pain relief than drug monotherapy. [1] The research delineates specific acupuncture points demonstrating the ability to disrupt pain signal transduction pathways.

Acupuncture increases the total effective rate of drug therapy for the relief of obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine researchers combined acupuncture with drug therapy (montelukast plus mometasone). Patients receiving only medications had a 60.0% total effective rate. The addition of acupuncture increased the effective rate to 80.0%. [1] The results were measured with the apnea hypopnea index (AHI), minimum nocturnal arterial oxygen saturation scores (SaO2), and attention impairment indicators at the completion of all medical treatments.

Acupuncture reduces the frequency of migraine headache attacks. Hospital and university researchers tested a specific set of acupuncture points for clinical efficacy. A team of 14 licensed acupuncturists (with at least 5 years of professional experience each) administered 20 acupuncture treatments in a randomized controlled trial. Each acupuncture treatment lasted for 30 minutes. Patients received acupuncture treatments every other day for the first 10 sessions, followed by a 9 day break, and then received another 10 sessions of acupuncture every other day.

Acupuncture outperforms drugs for the relief of cancer pain. Research demonstrates that late-stage cancer patients have greater pain reductions using a special acupuncture point over the use of medications. This special use scenario applies to postoperative pain relief and pain prevention and management. Based on the findings, the non-pharmacologic and analgesic properties of acupuncture are clinically appropriate for late-stage cancer patients. An evaluation of the data indicates that an integrative medicine approach to patient care increases both the safety and efficacy of pain management by providing non-pharmacologic options, which helps to reduce dependence on opioids.

florida acupuncture mayo clinic

Florida, Minnesota, and Arizona Mayo Clinic researchers find systematic review evidence indicating that acupuncture is safe and effective for the alleviation of pain due to cancer. Acupressure and laser acupuncture were excluded from the study; however, filiform acupuncture needling, electroacupuncture, auricular acupuncture, percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (PENS), and scalp acupuncture were included. The researchers note that the exclusion of acupressure and laser acupuncture from the investigation reduces heterogeneity and improves the quality of the results.
