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

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
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
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
Electroacupuncture to point Baihui confers anxiolytic effects by promoting oxytocin release from PVN in Mice
Background: #Anxiety disorders-including generalized anxiety disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, and social anxiety disorder-are highly prevalent psychiatric conditions that impose substantial clinical and social burdens. Preclinical and clinical studies have shown that #electroacupuncture (EA) can effectively alleviate anxiety-like behaviors; however, the specific neural circuits and molecular mechanisms underlying EA's therapeutic effects remain incompletely elucidated.Methods: We first… Continue reading Electroacupuncture to point Baihui confers anxiolytic effects by promoting oxytocin release from PVN in Mice
