Background: Slow flow/no-reflow (SF-NR) complicates up to 44% of percutaneous #coronary interventions ( #PCI) for acute myocardial infarction (#AMI), worsening prognosis. Electroacupuncture (EA) may mitigate SF-NR, but clinical evidence is limited.Objective: This trial was designed to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of intraoperative EA in reducing SF-NR during PCI for AMI patients.Design setting and participants… Continue reading Electroacupuncture for slow flow/no-reflow in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: a pilot randomized controlled trial

Clinical Observation of Music Therapy Combined with Acupoint Application for the Treatment of Functional Constipation
This study assessed the clinical efficacy of combining five-tone therapy with acupoint application, guided by the #TCM midnight-noon ebb-flow theory, for treating functional #constipation (FC). A total of 103 FC patients were divided into a study group (n=52) and a control group (n=51). The control group received oral polyethylene glycol with routine diet and exercise.… Continue reading Clinical Observation of Music Therapy Combined with Acupoint Application for the Treatment of Functional Constipation
Clinical effect of acupuncture on dysphagia following traumatic brain injury based on fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing
Objectives: To investigate the clinical therapeutic effect on #dysphagia following traumatic #brain injury (TBI) treated with acupuncture using fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES).Methods: A total of 68 patients with dysphagia following TBI were enrolled and randomly divided into a control group and an acupuncture group, with 34 patients in each group. In the control… Continue reading Clinical effect of acupuncture on dysphagia following traumatic brain injury based on fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing
Efficacy of electroacupuncture for pain relief in patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head: protocol for a randomised, triple-blind, sham-controlled trial
Introduction #Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a progressive and disabling condition, with pain being its predominant symptom. #Electroacupuncture (EA) has shown promise in the management of chronic pain; however, high-quality evidence on its efficacy and safety in ONFH is still lacking. The aim of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety… Continue reading Efficacy of electroacupuncture for pain relief in patients with osteonecrosis of the femoral head: protocol for a randomised, triple-blind, sham-controlled trial
Effect of Continuous Perioperative Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation on Postoperative Delirium in Elderly Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Gastrointestinal Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Purpose: To investigate the effect of perioperative continuous TEAS on the incidence of POD in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic gastrointestinal surgery.Patients and methods: In this prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled trial, 180 elderly patients (age ≥65 years, ASA I-III) scheduled for laparoscopic gastrointestinal #surgery were randomized into three groups: Group A received continuous TEAS (n=60), Group… Continue reading Effect of Continuous Perioperative Transcutaneous Electrical Acupoint Stimulation on Postoperative Delirium in Elderly Patients Undergoing Laparoscopic Gastrointestinal Surgery: A Randomized Controlled Trial
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
