Abstract Objective To assess the efficacy of manual acupuncture as prophylactic treatment for naive patients with episodic migraine without aura. Design Multicentre, randomised, controlled clinical trial blinded participants, outcome assessment, and statistician. Setting Seven hospitals in China, 5 June 2016 to 15 November 2018. Participants 150 Interventions 20 sessions at true points plus usual care, non-penetrating sham heterosegmental non-acupuncture or care alone over 8 weeks. Main...
Abstract In order to investigate the different effects of acupuncture and moxibustion on chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) alterations in autonomic nervous system by measuring heart rate variability (HRV). Forty-five participants were recruited randomly divided into 3 groups using a randomization schedule. The control group (CG, n = 15) (AG, treated manipulation acupuncture, (MG, was indirect moxibustion. Primary outcomes scores Fatigue Assessment Instrument (FAI). Secondary HRV parameters...
Abstract This study reports an acupuncture needle modified with iron-porphyrin functionalized graphene composite (FGPC) for real-time monitoring of nitric oxide (NO) release in acupoints rats. A gold film was first deposited to the surface enhance conductivity. The FGPC prepared via hydrothermal synthesis, and subsequently applied tip by electrochemical deposition method. enabled a specific sensitive detection NO based on favorably catalytic properties excellent conductivity graphene....
Cumulative studies have shown that the composition of gut microbiome is strongly associated with development type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Electroacupuncture (EA) therapy has been reported to alleviate various diseases, including T2DM, by targeting specific acupuncture points and regulating metabolic homeostasis. A recent review published in World Journal Diabetes detailed role discussing therapeutic strategies developed T2DM its complications based on ameliorating as well effects...
Electroacupuncture (EA) has been observed to reduce insulin resistance in obesity and diabetes. However, the biochemical mechanism underlying this effect remains unclear. This study investigated effects of low-frequency EA on metabolic action genetically obese type 2 diabetic db/db mice. Nine-week-old db/m mice were randomly divided into four groups, namely, db/m, + EA, db/db, EA. received 3-Hz electroacupuncture five times weekly for eight consecutive weeks. In mice, tempered increase...
Abstract Acupuncture treatment is amazing but controversial. Up to now, the mechanism of treating diseases by acupuncture and moxibustion still unclear, especially occurrence molecular events in local acupoints. Herein, we report an extremely stable microsensor modifying carbon nanotube (CNT) tip surface needle applying this CNT-modified for real time monitoring serotonin (5-HT) vivo . To stabilize CNT modification on surface, poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)(PEDOT) was employed as glue...
<b><i>Objective:</i></b> To investigate the anorexigenic and anti-obesity effectiveness of electroacupuncture (EA) on high-fat-diet-induced (HFDI) obese rats with insulin resistance (IR) to reveal possible mechanisms EA affecting SIRT1 (silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog 1) in central nervous system (CNS). <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We divided 60 into 6 groups. All interventions, including intracerebroventricular administration,...
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most common tumors digestive tract, with third-highest incidence and second-highest mortality rate among all malignant worldwide. However, treatment options for CRC remain limited. As a complementary therapy, acupuncture or electro-acupuncture (EA) has been widely applied in various inflammation-related diseases, such as obesity, ulcerative colitis tumors. Although numerous pre-clinical clinical studies have investigated beneficial effects on CRC,...
Moxibustion is the main alternative medicine treatment that has been beneficial to diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), a common complication secondary microvascular injury. However, underlying protective mechanism of moxibustion against neuroinflammation remains unclear. We hypothesized treats DPN by regulating balance nuclear factor-2 erythroid-related (Nrf2)-nuclear factor-kappa light chain enhancer B cells (NF-кB). In vivo, diabetes was induced in rats injecting streptozotocin (STZ; 60...
It is generally accepted that metainflammation, a state of chronic and low-grade inflammation in obesity, plays great role metabolic disorder like insulin resistance. To gain further insight into the mechanism metainflammation find feasible therapy diet-induced obesity (DIO) rats model Electroacupuncture (EA) treatment were established this trail. The results indicated rising Lee's index, hyperlipidemia, resistance, increasing factors including NF-κB, TNF-α, Macrophages 1 determined DIO...
As a traditional therapy applied for thousands of years, acupuncture has recently been attracting more and investigators throughout the world. In theory Chinese medicine, it is proposed that can strengthen human body to resist diseases by puncturing needles at certain points. The characteristic enhances resistance closely related with immune system, which functions in defense, homeostasis, surveillance. More research revealed regulate immunity, example, enhance anticancer antistress function...
To analyze the features of preventive treatment with acupuncture and moxibustion to provide guidance for practice. Induction comparison methods were adopted summarize from literatures different ages. Preventive has distinctive features: 1) strengthening protecting vital-qi is paid much attention to; 2) intervention time well grasped; 3) tonification points are importantly used; 4) action stressed on; 5) change disease judged. With principle reinforce vital-qi, applied meridians acupoints...
Acupuncture is currently gaining popularity worldwide as a “complementary” or “alternative therapy.” The underlying mechanisms of acupuncture in general require further investigation to be delineated, although therapy has been demonstrated effective several clinical areas. Recently, there growing focus on the critical role brain and need explain how affects endocrine function through CNS (central nervous system). This special issue was developed stimulate continuing efforts defining...
