Researchers from Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Professors Liu Yutan, Jia Hongling, and Zhang Yongchen, have provided groundbreaking insights into the understanding of Huatuo Jiaji points, shedding light on their historical origins, clinical applications, and integration into modern acupuncture techniques.
Acupuncture for the relief and prevention of motion sickness and nausea with the application of acupoint PC6 (Neiguan) is supported by research. [1] At HealthCMi, we decided to take a look at an FDA cleared wearable that claims to provide long-lasting nausea relief without any needles. Instead, it uses electrical pulses from a device that looks like a wrist watch. The device claims to alleviate or eliminate motion sickness, including sea sickness, car sickness, and that for trains, air travel, and even in amusement parks. Our review shows surprising results.
Acupuncture, a cornerstone of traditional Chinese medicine practiced for thousands of years, is increasingly recognized as an effective therapy for a variety of autoimmune diseases. A recent review highlights the experimental and clinical evidence supporting its role in managing these complex conditions. This review, encompassing randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses from 2000 to 2023, sheds light on acupuncture’s therapeutic potential in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, ulcerative colitis (UC), and more. Furthermore, the review reveals the anatomical uniqueness of acupuncture points. [1]
A recent multicenter randomized clinical trial, conducted across six major hospitals in China and published in JAMA Internal Medicine, has provided compelling evidence supporting the use of acupuncture for chronic sciatica due to lumbar disc herniation. The study found that acupuncture not only significantly reduces leg pain but also improves functional outcomes, with benefits persisting for up to one year [1].
Clinical research has provided valuable insights into the application of acupuncture for fibromyalgia, focusing on specific techniques, acupoint selections, and their physiological impacts. A randomized controlled trial investigated the effects of acupuncture on fibromyalgia symptoms and associated biochemical markers [1].
