Efficacy and Safety of Acupoint Catgut Embedding for Obesity Associated with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis
AbstractAim: #Obesity is common in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and can exacerbate #PCOS symptoms. Although Acupoint catgut embedding (ACE) is frequently used to treat the clinical symptoms of simple obesity, it is unclear how it will affect obesity associated with PCOS. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials (RCTs)… Continue reading Efficacy and Safety of Acupoint Catgut Embedding for Obesity Associated with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis
Effects of Acupuncture on Time-Dependent Muscle Endurance in Men with Post-Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury: A Randomized Controlled Crossover Trial
To investigate whether acupuncture enhances knee joint muscle endurance effectiveness and time-dependent effects after anterior cruciate ligament ( #ACL ) injuries.Methods:This randomized, single-blinded crossover trial included 20 males with ACL injuries. Participants were randomly divided into real acupuncture (RA) group and sham acupuncture (SA) group. RA was stimulated at ST32, ST34, ST36, SP10, and BL57;… Continue reading Effects of Acupuncture on Time-Dependent Muscle Endurance in Men with Post-Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury: A Randomized Controlled Crossover Trial
Effectiveness of Non-Pharmacological Interventions for Hormone Therapy-Induced #Hand #Arthralgia in Breast Cancer Patients: A Systematic Review
BackgroundAromatase inhibitor-induced arthralgia (AIA) is a frequent adverse effect of endocrine therapy in breast cancer survivors, often leading to treatment modification or discontinuation. Non-pharmacological interventions have been proposed to manage AIA, but evidence remains fragmented.ObjectiveTo synthesize recent randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating the efficacy of non-pharmacological interventions for AIA.MethodsA systematic search of PubMed, Scopus, and… Continue reading Effectiveness of Non-Pharmacological Interventions for Hormone Therapy-Induced #Hand #Arthralgia in Breast Cancer Patients: A Systematic Review
Real-time change in dynamic cerebral autoregulation after acupuncture at GB34 (Yanglingquan): a self-controlled study
Background: Few interventions have been proven to improve dynamic cerebral autoregulation (dCA). #GB34 is a common acupoint for motor function treatment in the clinic. However, the effects of acupuncture on dCA have never been reported and whether acupuncture at GB34 can improve dCA is unknown.Methods: A self-controlled interventional study was conducted. Each participant randomly received… Continue reading Real-time change in dynamic cerebral autoregulation after acupuncture at GB34 (Yanglingquan): a self-controlled study
Electroacupuncture at Baliao Points Alleviates Ulcerative Colitis via α7nAChR-Mediated Macrophage Polarization and Gut Microbiota Modulation
Ulcerative colitis ( #UC ) is a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by a significant unmet clinical need for more effective and tolerable therapies. This study explores the therapeutic potential and underlying mechanisms of electroacupuncture (EA) at the Baliao acupoints in a dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced UC rat model. EA treatment significantly alleviated colitis symptoms, restored… Continue reading Electroacupuncture at Baliao Points Alleviates Ulcerative Colitis via α7nAChR-Mediated Macrophage Polarization and Gut Microbiota Modulation
Segmental Electroacupuncture for Uterine Fibroids: A Case Report
Uterine #myomas, benign genital tract tumors, commonly lead to troublesome symptoms in females of reproductive age. Despite various surgical and hormonal treatments available for myomas, their possible side effects warrant the exploration of complementary medicine for myoma management. Segmental #electroacupuncture on acupoints located on myotomes with the same innervation as the uterus was performed for… Continue reading Segmental Electroacupuncture for Uterine Fibroids: A Case Report
Acupuncture improves anxiety and depression in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome: a systematic evaluation and meta-analysis
Background: Acupuncture is increasingly utilized to address anxiety and depression in polycystic ovary syndrome ( #PCOS ), yet evidence for non-pharmacological interventions remains limited. This study aimed to rigorously evaluate the efficacy and safety of #acupuncture in alleviating anxiety and depression among women with PCOS, while exploring its potential mechanisms.Methods: Eight Chinese/English databases (CNKI, Web… Continue reading Acupuncture improves anxiety and depression in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome: a systematic evaluation and meta-analysis
Gut microbiota and metabolic dysregulation in polycystic ovary syndrome: effects of acupuncture as an adjunct to in vitro fertilization on gut dysbiosis, metabolism, and oocyte quality
Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome ( #PCOS ) is marked by disruptions in metabolic and reproductive endocrine functions. This study synthesizes systemic metabolic profiles, alterations in gut microbiota, and follicular fluid metabolism to elucidate the reproductive and endocrine metabolic changes associated with PCOS. Furthermore, it aims to elucidate the potential mechanisms through which acupuncture may exert… Continue reading Gut microbiota and metabolic dysregulation in polycystic ovary syndrome: effects of acupuncture as an adjunct to in vitro fertilization on gut dysbiosis, metabolism, and oocyte quality
