Bee venom acupuncture (BVA), as a kind of herbal acupuncture, exerts not only pharmacological actions from the bioactive compounds isolated bee but also mechanical function stimulation. BVA is growing in popularity, especially Korea, and used primarily for pain relief many kinds diseases. We aimed to summarize evaluate available evidence rheumatoid arthritis osteoarthritis. Computerized literature searches experimental studies clinical trials were performed on databases PUBMED, EMBASE...
Objectives . Strong aversions to acupuncture have been an obstacle understanding its intrinsic action of acupuncture. Thus, it is necessary evaluate the nature and extent fear treatment. Our study aims develop validate instrument that evaluates a patient’s Methods We developed scale, 16-item which assesses score uses survey 275 participants in South Korea, thus testing reliability validity instrument. Results Internal consistency was high (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.935). Test-retest (Spearman’s...
Objective: To evaluate the effects of Tai Chi Qigong training on quality life and physical function patients with osteoarthritis knee. Design: A preliminary, single-blind, randomized controlled trial. Setting: General community, performed at Hwaseong City Health Center. Participants: Forty-four elderly subjects (mean age, 69.1 ± 5.4 years) knee osteoarthritis. Intervention: The were (2:1) to: (1) an eight-week programme or (2) a waiting list control group. involved eight weeks group...
A bibliometric approach using quantitative analytical methods was applied to explore the development of research investigating acupuncture for treatment pain. This study also evaluated current status analgesia with a visualization analysis journal articles.Articles on pain control that were published from 2000 2019 retrieved Web Science database. Extracted records analyzed in terms year publication, country, journal, area, authors, and organizational affiliations. The VOSviewer program used...
Acupuncture, a common treatment modality within complementary and alternative medicine, has been widely used for Parkinson's disease (PD). Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we explored the neural mechanisms underlying effect of specific genuine acupuncture on motor function in patients with PD. Three fMRI scans were performed random order block design, one verum (VA) treatment, another covert placebo (CP), third an overt (OP) at implicated acupoint GB34 left foot 10 We...
Parkinson's disease (PD) is caused by the selective loss of dopaminergic neurons in substantia nigra (SN) and depletion striatal dopamine (DA). Acupuncture, as an alternative therapy for PD, has beneficial effects both PD patients animal models, although underlying mechanisms therein remain uncertain. The present study investigated whether acupuncture treatment affected neurotransmission a mouse model using 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP). We found that at acupoint GB34...
Abstract Objective To promote better reporting quality regarding sham acupuncture in clinical trials for a precise appraisal of the adequacy procedure. Methods A three‐stage online Delphi survey was conducted to group experts. Items with higher than 80% consensus from initial checklist were selected as final candidates. Further discussion among working convened preclude potential redundancy items. Results total 23 experts out 35 (66%) responded process. The consists items six categories:...
Acupuncture is frequently used as an alternative therapy for Parkinson's disease (PD), and it attenuates dopaminergic (DA) neurodegeneration in the substantia nigra (SN) PD animal models. Using proteomic analysis, we investigated whether acupuncture alters protein expression SN to favor attenuation of neuronal degeneration. In C57BL/6 mice treated with 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP, 30 mg/kg/day), intraperitoneal (i.p.) 5 days, 2 or 100 Hz electroacupuncture (EA) was...
Objectives: We explored the neuroprotective effects of bee venom acupuncture in acute 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-induced mouse model Parkinson's disease. Methods: Male C57BL/6 mice were divided into three groups: saline-injected control group, 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine-injected group and acupuncture-pretreated plus group. Mice injected with 0.02 ml (1 : 2000 w/v) to GB34 (Yangneungcheon) bilaterally once every 3 days for 2 weeks. After weeks'...
Moxibustion has been used to treat various types of disease. However, there is still insufficient evidence regarding its effectiveness. This study was performed summarize and evaluate the effectiveness moxibustion. A search for all randomized controlled trials in PubMed between January 1998 July 2008 with no language restriction. The results yielded 47 which six moxibustion were applied 36 diseases ranging from breech presentation digestive disorders. compared three control group: general...
Background: Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a common functional gastrointestinal disorder characterized by chronic digestive symptoms without identifiable structural abnormalities. FD affects approximately 8–46% of the population, leading to significant socioeconomic burdens due reduced quality life and productivity. Traditional medicine utilizes differential diagnosis through comprehensive examinations, which include observing questioning, abdominal examination, pulse for disorders. However,...
