Background: Recently, increasing evidence has indicated that the primary acupuncture effects are mediated by central nervous system. However, specific brain networks underpinning these remain unclear. Results: In present study using fMRI, we employed a within-condition interregional covariance analysis method to investigate functional connectivity of involved in acupuncture. The fMRI experiment was performed before, during and after manipulations on healthy volunteers at an point, which...
A randomized controlled clinical trial in 196 obese subjects was performed to examine the effectiveness of body acupuncture on weight loss, lipid profile and immunogenic inflammatory markers. Subjects received authentic (cases) or sham (controls) for 6 weeks combination with a low-calorie diet. In following weeks, they diet alone. were assessed at beginning, 12 later. Heat shock protein (Hsps)-27, 60, 65, 70 antibody titers high sensitivity C-reactive (hs-CRP) levels also assessed....
Objective . This pilot study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture in treatment chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). Methods was a randomized controlled trial, which conducted with cooperation between Beijing University Chinese Medicine (BUCM), China, Tehran Medical Science (TUMS), Iran. Forty participants CIPN were randomly assigned (1 : 1) receive twelve sessions (20 minutes each session over 4 weeks) or take one 300 mg tablet vitamin B1 three capsules...
Cancer-related fatigue(CRF) is a prevalent and distressing symptom among cancer patients. This study aimed to assess the initial effectiveness safety of 3.95 μm infrared moxibustion for CRF. A randomized controlled trial was conducted with 65 CRF-diagnosed patients, where treatment group received on ST36 (bilateral), CV4, CV6 acupoints, each patient underwent 30-minute sessions, 8 sessions per course total 24 while control standard care. The evaluated fatigue sleep quality using Piper...
Objectives: A randomized controlled clinical trial was performed to examine the effectiveness of auricular acupuncture on body weight loss and its impact lipid profile, immunologic inflammatory markers in obese subjects. Methods: Participants (n=204) were therapeutic control groups. Subjects received authentic (cases) or sham (controls) for 6 weeks (first period) combination with a low-calorie diet. In next (second period), diet used own. assessed at beginning 12 later. addition...
Background: Functional acupoint specificity is crucial to the clinical efficacy of acupuncture treatment, such as pain relief. Whether needling at a peripheral produces distinct patterns brain responses remains controversial. Results: This fMRI study employed complex network analysis (CNA) test hypothesis that stimulation an correspondingly induced activity changes in one or more intrinsic resting-state networks. Built upon sustained effect and its time-varying characteristics, we...

Acupuncture and moxibustion are more integrated in the Chinese healthcare system than national systems of other countries. Development acupuncture China is making progress this field. For overseas researchers, commentary offers perspectives on current status examines relevant opportunities challenges reforms. There has been a steady increase number undergraduates postgraduates studying Medicine (CM) universities over past decade. The legislation CM physicians that was established 1999 launch...
Exercise is recognized as an activator to elicit inflammatory response whilst moxibustion in traditional Chinese medicine has been previously found modulate immune functioning. However, whether can alleviate the cytokines chronic exhaustive exercise remains unknown. In present study, rats were randomly assigned a sedentary control group (Sed), (Sed + Moxa), and 2 trained groups- one submitted 3-week swimming (Trained), other (Trained Moxa). We that significantly increased serum levels of...
International organisations such as WHO and the Organization for Standardization are increasingly committed to development of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Moxibustion is an integral modality acupuncture that has been in use thousands years. It stands out a health choice due its potential effects disease prevention, promotion maintenance, well affordability accessibility. As moxibustion increases, concerns being raised regarding safety quality. The need establish standards protect...
Objective. To determine the effects of moxa smoke on human heart rate (HR) and variability (HRV). Methods. Fifty-five healthy young adults were randomly divided into experimental (n = 28) control 27) groups. Experimental subjects exposed to (2.5 ± 0.5 mg/m(3)) twice for 25 minutes in one week. ECG monitoring was performed before, during, after exposure. Control normal indoor air a similar environment similarly monitored. Followup following Short-term (5 min) HRV parameters analyzed with...

Objective: To evaluate the changes of human heart rate (HR) and variability (HRV) during after moxa smoke inhalation to investigate effects on autonomic nervous system. Methods: 24 healthy volunteers were exposed with their HRV parameters measured before, inhalation. Results: The had significant reductions in HR also parameters. Conclusions: Moxa can improve system activity. will induce a depressant effect body.
Objectives: To investigate the anti-atherogenic effect of moxibustion and whether it is mediated through reverse cholesterol transport process. Methods: 8-week-old male apolipoprotein E deficient (ApoE −/− knockout) mice were randomly divided into two groups (n=10 per group): atherosclerosis (AS) AS plus (AS+M). C57BL/6J same background (n=10) selected as controls. Mice in AS+M group received indirect with an ignited moxa stick held over CV4. control restrained holder unlit All treatments...
