“…Although local anesthetics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and opioids are the common analgesics being used during ESWL in daily practice (14), no consensus has been reached on the optimal analgesic regimen. Acupuncture has long been used as a mode of analgesia (15) that improves lower urinary tract symptoms (16,17) through inducing ureteral smooth muscle relaxation (18), thereby achieving renal colic pain relief (19). Previous findings have shown that the use of acupuncture during ESWL could reduce analgesic requirement, alleviate anxiety (20)(21)(22), and improve the success rate of the procedure (23).…”

Efficacy of acupuncture for pain relief in patients receiving extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled studies

BackgroundThis meta-analysis aimed at investigating the efficacy of acupuncture for pain relief in patients receiving extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL).MethodsRandomized controlled trials comparing the efficacy of acupuncture with conventional treatments were retrieved from major electronic databases (e.g., MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library) until August 28, 2022. The primary outcome was the response rate (i.e., rate of pain relief), while secondary outcomes included stone-free rate, satisfaction rate, duration of ESWL, peri-/post-procedural pain score, and risk of adverse events.ResultsThirteen eligible studies involving 1,220 participants published between 1993 and 2022 were analyzed. Pooled results indicated that acupuncture had a better response rate compared to conventional treatments (RR = 1.17, 95% CI: 1.06–1.3, p = 0.003, seven trials, n = 832). Despite no difference in ESWL duration (MD = 0.02 min, 95% CI: −1.53 to 1.57, p = 0.98, three trials, n = 141), stone-free rate (RR = 1.11, 95% CI: 1–1.25, p = 0.06, six trials, n = 498), and satisfaction rate (RR = 1.51, 95% CI: 0.92–2.47, p = 0.1, three trials, n = 334) between the two groups, the acupuncture group had a lower risk of adverse events (RR = 0.51, 95% CI: 0.33–0.79, p = 0.003, five trials, n = 327), peri- (MD = −1.91 points, 94% CI: −3.53 to −0.28, p = 0.02, four trials, n = 258 patient) and post-procedural (MD = −1.07, 95% CI: −1.77 to −0.36, p = 0.003, four trials, n = 335) pain score.ConclusionThe results of this meta-analysis showed that the use of acupuncture in patients receiving ESWL was associated with a higher pain relief rate and a lower risk of adverse events, suggesting feasibility of its use in this clinical setting.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/, identifier: CRD42022356327.

“…According to a report by the World Health Organization (WHO), published in 2003, among the affections of the urinary system that have proven efficacy of acupuncture, one can mention the retention and urinary incontinence (31) . It appears that investigations involving the effect of systemic acupuncture in LUTS control have had greater investments, when compared to auriculotherapy (32)(33)(34) . On the other hand, auriculotherapy is considered to be a simpler and less costly method to be implemented in clinical practice (22) , a fact that has raised new investigations regarding the effectiveness of this therapy.…”

Objective: To analyze the evidence available in the literature on the use of auriculotherapy in adults and elderly people with lower urinary tract symptoms. Method: An integrative literature review. Primary study search was carried out in nine relevant health databases. The characterization of studies regarding the method of application of auriculotherapy was based on the Revised Standards for Reporting Interventions in Clinical Trials of Acupuncture recommendations. Results: 296 studies were found, 17 pre-selected and eight included in the review. Favorable results from auriculotherapy were evidenced in specific populations, such as elderly men with prostatic disorders and individuals undergoing surgical procedures. The main urinary symptoms addressed were frequency, urgency, nocturia, incomplete voiding, intermittency, weak flow, effort to start urination, incontinence, and urinary retention. Conclusion: Despite the limited number of studies and weaknesses with regard to sample size and different intervention protocols, it is suggested that auriculotherapy, associated or not with other complementary therapies, may contribute to lower urinary tract symptom control in adults and elderly people.

“…In another prospective randomized study, researchers found that the gait of PD patients improved significantly after 3 weeks of EA treatment (Lei et al, 2016). Rather clinical reports have found that acupuncture can improve complications caused by PD, such as lower urinary tract symptoms (Kim et al, 2018), fatigue (Corbin et al, 2016; Kong et al, 2018), rigidity and balance (Toosizadeh et al, 2015), swallowing reflex latency (Fukuda et al, 2016), sleep disorders (Landgren et al, 2011), and so on.…”

Neurological disease, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), which were caused by abnormalities in the nervous system involves the accumulation of false proteins, neurotransmitter abnormalities, neuronal apoptosis, etc. As an alternative supplementary medicine (ASM), acupuncture plays an important role in the treatment of neurological diseases. In this review article, we summarized the current evidence for the treatment efficacy of acupuncture in AD and PD from the perspective of clinical trials and animal model. Acupuncture can inhibit the accumulation of toxic proteins in neurological diseases, modulate energy supply based on glucose metabolism, depress neuronal apoptosis, etc., and exert a wide range of neuroprotective effects.
