ACUPRESSURE & DYSMENORRHOEA
In a study which compared acupressure at Sanyinjiao SP-6 with simple resting for female technical college students in Taiwan suffering from dysmenorrhoea, the acupressure - whether in the form of treatment or self-treatment - was found to significantly reduce pain.

What's lurking in the water?
A comprehensive survey of US drinking water has detected widespread but low-level contamination by a number of drugs and hormonally active chemicals. Scientists tested tap water from 19 US water utilities, which supply more than 28 million Americans, for 51 different compounds, between 2006 and 2007. The 11 most frequently detected compounds, all found at very low concentrations, included: the bet ...
Acupuncture versus acupuncture + herbs for hay fever
Although many Asian practitioners are happy to specialise as acupuncturists, and therefore do not prescribe herbs, there has been a tendency in the west to feel that acupuncture alone is somehow inadequate. In the treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis at least, this does not seem to be the case. In a randomised double-blind placebo-controlled trial, 65 patients with seasonal allergic rhinitis re ...
ACUPUNCTURE & KNEE ARTHRITIS
In a separate Spanish study of the potential benefits of acupuncture in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis, 97 patients were randomly assigned to receive either acupuncture plus diclofenac, or placebo acupuncture plus diclofenac. The true acupuncture consisted of needling (followed by electroacupuncture at the local points) at Yanglingquan GB-34, Yinlingquan SP-9, Xiyan (MN-LE-16), Zusanli ST-36 ...
ACUPUNCTURE & OSTEOARTHRITIS OF THE KNEE
44 patents with advanced osteoarthritis of the knee who were awaiting total knee joint replacements were given acupuncture either on the most affected knee only, or on both knees.
Importance of collagen at acupuncture points
Chinese scientists have investigated how mechanical acupuncture signals received at acupoints are transformed into biological signals. In a study carried out on rats, the role of collagen fibers at acupoints during acupuncture analgesia was investigated. When the investigators destroyed the structure of the collagen fibres at Zusanli ST-36 by injection of collagenase, the needle force exerted by a ...
ACUPUNCTURE DECREASES POST-CAESARIAN PAIN
A Chinese study has shown that acupuncture at Sanyinjiao SP-6 can decrease the amount of analgesia required in the first 24 hours after caesarian section. Sixty women who had spinal anesthesia during caesarian section were randomly assigned to receive either acupuncture or electro-acupuncture at bilateral Sanyinjiao SP-6, or to a control group. Women in the acupuncture and electro-acupuncture grou ...
ACUPUNCTURE AND HIV PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY
Although both acupuncture and the antidepressant amitriptyline are used to treat pain due to HIV-related nerve damage, neither treatment has been found to be effective. More than 30% of patients infected with HIV develop peripheral neuropathy. 250 HIV-positive patients with peripheral neuropathy were tested over the course of 14 weeks. Some received true acupuncture on acupuncture points recommend ...
