Though moxibustion is frequently used to treat primary dysmenorrhea in China, relevant evidence supporting its effectiveness still scanty.
Guidelines for clinical trials of acupuncture are scarce, particularly in their guidance on choosing an adequate control trial. This guideline was developed to address the research methodology which contains essential elements be considered design, preparation and reporting RCT. Particularly, investigators focused design because unique feature acupuncture. As one size does not fit all, single cannot answer all questions. Therefore, we recommend that questions answered different stages by...
Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a common condition that characterized by metabolic impairments. Exercise therapy has proven effective in improving the physiological and psychological states of patients with T2DM; however, influence different exercise modalities on profiles not fully understood. This study first aimed to investigate changes associated T2DM among then evaluate potential effects (Tai Chi brisk walking) their profiles. Methods included 20 11 healthy subjects....
Purpose: Chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) worsens the quality of life for people with cancer. Massage therapy involves neuromuscular modulations and can potentially reduce CIPN symptoms. We examined immediate improvements in CIPN-related pain following massage among patients CIPN. Methods: In a retrospective cohort, we assessed who received 1 session symptom relief during or after chemotherapy at National Cancer Institute-Designated Comprehensive Center from October 2017 to...
Acupuncture has analgesic effect to most pain conditions. Many neuroimaging studies were conducted explore acupoint specificity in and other condition, but till now there is still discrepancy. Based on our previous finding, this study investigated the brain metabolism changes of acupuncture analgesia induced by sub-specific non-acupoint stimulation. 30 migraineurs included randomly assigned 3 groups: Group (AG), Sham (SAG) Migraine (MG). In AG, a combination points Shaoyang meridians, Luxi...
Abstract The critical role of metabolic abnormality in hypertension is increasingly recognized, but its biomarkers are not clearly identified. In this study, 47 chemical compounds recorded by literature were employed as target metabolites essential (EH). We detected their content the plasma EH patients and healthy subjects using Multiple Reaction Monitoring-Mass Spectrometry (MRM-MS). After screening most altered compounds, acupuncture was used to treat for 3 months these tested again....
Chronic pain negatively affects sleep; it is unclear whether relief from acupuncture contributes to sleep quality improvements in cancer survivors. This study aimed evaluate the effect of versus usual care on among survivors with comorbid disturbance and chronic musculoskeletal pain.Sleep outcome data Personalized Electroacupuncture Versus Auricular Acupuncture Comparative Effectiveness (PEACE) randomized clinical trial were analyzed. or auricular was compared for improvement over 10 weeks...
To evaluate the feasibility and potential effects of patient-centred self-administered acupressure for alleviating fatigue co-occurring symptoms among Chinese advanced cancer patients receiving treatment.Thirty who screened positive moderate/severe with insomnia and/or pain were recruited from a hospital in Hong Kong. They randomly assigned (1:1) to receive 4-week intervention or health education. Fatigue (primary outcome) secondary outcomes (sleep quality, pain, fatigue-sleep...
Aim. To investigate the relationship between effects of electroacupuncture/moxibustion and balance Th17/Treg in treating ulcerative colitis (UC) to preliminary compare above two methods. Methods. DSS‐induced UC mice were treated by electroacupuncture moxibustion. Disease activity index (DAI) was scored; intestinal pathological structure ultrastructure observed. The levels IL‐2, IL‐6, IL‐10, IL‐17A, IL‐17F, TGF‐ β plasma measured ELISA. percentages Treg Th17 spleen lymphocytes analyzed flow...
Abstract Background Increasing evidence have indicated the relationship between intestinal dysbiosis and hypertension. We aimed to evaluate effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on microbiota in patients with stage 1 Methods 93 hypertensive 15 healthy subjects were enrolled this study. Applying a highly accurate oscillometric device antihypertensive EA. 16S rRNA sequencing was used profile stool microbial communities from Healthy group, Before treatment (BT) group After (AT) various multivariate...
Low back pain is a common, disabling musculoskeletal disorder in both developing and developed countries. Although often recommended, the potential efficacy of massage therapy general, Chinese (tuina) particular, for relief chronic low (CLBP) has not been fully established due to inadequate sample sizes, methodological quality, subclinical dosing regimens trials date. Thus, purpose this randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluate comparative effectiveness tuina versus conventional analgesics...
Abstract Pain and insomnia often co-occur impair the quality of life in cancer survivors. This study evaluated effect acupuncture versus cognitive behavioral therapy for (CBT-I) on pain severity among survivors with comorbid insomnia. Using data from CHOICE trial that compared CBT-I survivors, we analyzed interventions outcomes 70 patients moderate to severe baseline pain. Interventions were delivered over eight weeks. We assessed average (primary outcome) interference at baseline, week 8,...
Abstract The optimization of friction stir processing (FSP) parameters magnesium alloy composite (AZ31B–SiC) based on orthogonal test was researched. results show that the distribution silicon carbide (SiC) particles, microhardness, tensile property, and fracture mode are greatly affected by change in process parameters. made with a rotating speed 750 rev·min −1 , traversing 30 mm·min time three; SiC particles is even, microhardness difference small, property better, ductile main mode....
Dysmenorrhea is a common menstrual complaint among adolescent girls and women of reproductive age. The treatment dysmenorrhea typically selected from multidisciplinary options, including complementary alternative medicine such as acupuncture moxibustion. However, there are few published randomized controlled trials concerning moxibustion for dysmenorrhea. This trial aims to investigate the efficacy safety primary dysmenorrhea, identify optimal time protocol in which assessor statistician...
Abstract Background The instant-treatment effect of acupuncture for patients with migraines has been corroborated in numerous studies. However, most diseases are chronic and tend to recur, so the long-term can verify existence sustained efficacy or placebo effect. Evaluating prophylaxis migraine without aura (MWoA) China is also important because such studies lacking. Methods This trial a multicenter, prospective, pragmatic randomized controlled clinical trial. We will randomly allocate 249...
Abstract Metabonomics methods have gradually become important auxiliary tools for screening disease biomarkers. However, recognition of metabolites or potential biomarkers closely related to either particular clinical symptoms prognosis has been difficult. The current study aims identify functional dyspepsia (FD) by a new strategy that combined hydrogen nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H NMR)-based metabonomics techniques and an integrative multi-objective optimization (LPIMO) method. First,...
