Electro-acupuncture enhances egg quality and fertilisation rates in IVF
Electro-acupuncture (EA) can enhance oocyte maturation and fertilisation rates in women undergoing IVF, Indonesian researchers have found ...
High intensity electro-acupuncture better for knee osteoarthritis
High-intensity electro-acupuncture (EA) is more effective than low-intensity EA at alleviating the clinical symptoms of knee osteoarthritis (KOA) patients ...
Facial acupuncture can decrease melasma
A small study carried out in Thailand suggests that facial acupuncture, with or without body acupuncture, may be effective in decreasing the size of melasma (hyperpigmented skin) patches. ...
Needle manipulation has cellular consequences
Subtle differences in needle manipulation techniques can affect the cellular response of connective tissue to acupuncture. American researchers subjected subcutaneous tissue samples from mice to varying amounts of bidirectional needle rotation, before examining them by confocal microscopy. Fibroblast cells were observed to respond to bidirectional rotation with morphological changes, which occurre ...
MOXIBUSTION EFFECTIVE FOR BREECH PRESENTATION
UK researchers exploring the effects of moxibustion on breech presentation have concluded that it creates a better chance of achieving vaginal delivery. In a prospective multicentre study, 76 pregnant women were taught how to apply moxibustion and instructed to continue it at home, twice a day, for seven days. If breech presentation persisted after treatment, external cephalic version (ECV) was ca ...
ACUPUNCTURE IMPROVES SPERM QUALITY
A study of the effect of acupuncture on sperm quality in men suffering infertility of unknown cause, found that after twice weekly treatment for five weeks, there were fewer structural sperm defects (acrosome position and shape, nuclear shape, axonemal pattern and shape, and accessory fibres of sperm organelles) and an increase in the number of normal sperm ejaculated. Other sperm abnormalities su ...
ACUMOXA FOR BREECH BABIES
A study has evaluated the effects of acupuncture and moxibustion on the behaviour of breech foetuses. Women were treated by stimulating Zhiyin BL-67 twice a week for 20 minutes. Fourteen cases were treated using both acupuncture and moxibustion, 15 cases by moxibustion and ten cases by acupuncture. In 56% of cases, foetal position converted from breech to cephalic (80% success rate for moxibustion ...
TCM BETTER THAN USUAL CARE FOR TEMPOROMANDIBULAR PAIN
A pilot study carried out in the USA has assessed the feasibility of studying whole systems of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and naturopathic medicine (NM) as treatments for temporomandibular disorders (TMD). The study compared TCM and NM with state-of-the-art specialty care (SC) for TMD in 160 women (25-55 years of age) attending a specialty clinic. The TCM and NM intervention protocols were ...
Verum versus sham needling
American researchers have examined the pain reducing effect of verum manual acupuncture (ACU), compared with that of placebo needling, using a combination of fMRI and PET imaging. Twelve acupuncture-naïve healthy subjects were randomised into a real acupuncture group and a placebo acupuncture group (Streitberger retractable needle). Over four sessions, the researchers induced pain in the subjects ...
ELECTRO-ACUPUNCTURE EFFECTIVE FOR LABOUR PAIN
In a study investigating the efficacy of electro-acupuncture (EA) for relief of labour pain, 36 pregnant women were randomly divided into an EA group and a control group. Two rounds of EA were carried out, one at the beginning of the active phase of labour and one at 7-8cm of cervical dilatation. Hegu L.I.-4 and Sanyinjiao SP-6 were stimulated bilaterally for 20 minutes at a frequency of 2-100 Hz ...
