“…Tinnitus, which is the auditory phantom perception of a ringing, hissing, or buzzing sound in the absence of an objective physical sound source, is associated with lesions of the central nervous system ( Baguley et al, 2013 ; Dalrymple et al, 2021 ). Yu et al (2023) treated patients with bilateral tinnitus using performed fNIRS measurements before and after treatment using the block paradigm of the auditory stimulus design. The results revealed that the patients’ scores on the hearing impairment-related scale were reduced after acupuncture treatment; moreover, the HbO 2 concentration in the temporal auditory cortex was increased and the change in HbO 2 concentration was significantly correlated with the score of hearing impairment-related scales.…”

Non-drug therapies of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), including acupuncture, massage, tai chi chuan, and Baduanjin, have emerged as widespread interventions for the treatment of various diseases in clinical practice. In recent years, preliminary studies on the mechanisms of non-drug therapies of TCM have been mostly based on functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) technology. FNIRS is an innovative, non-invasive tool to monitor hemodynamic changes in the cerebral cortex. Our review included clinical research conducted over the last 10 years, establishing fNIRS as a reliable and stable neuroimaging technique. This review explores new applications of this technology in the field of neuroscience. First, we summarize the working principles of fNIRS. We then present preventive research on the use of fNIRS in healthy individuals and therapeutic research on patients undergoing non-drug therapies of TCM. Finally, we emphasize the potential for encouraging future advancements in fNIRS studies to establish a theoretical framework for research in related fields.

“…These 4 acupoints are directly related to the nerves and blood vessels of the ear, which can improve the microcirculation of the inner ear and brainstem, promote the material exchange between the blood and the labyrinth, and repair and regenerate the inner ear cells and auditory nerves that have not been completely necrotic. [ 9 , 14 ] Studies have confirmed that acupuncture at these acupoints can increase the activation of some areas of the human brain, relieve anxiety, and depression in patients, [ 15 ] improve sleep quality, reduce the frequency of tinnitus, and reduce tinnitus loudness. [ 16 ] Zhongzhu (TE3) is a acupoint far away from the disease location in the ear meridian, located on the back of the hand, can dredge the qi of shaoyang meridian.…”

Background: Acupuncture is widely used in the treatment of tinnitus worldwide because of its good efficacy and safety. However, the criteria for selecting acupoint prescriptions and combinations have not been summarized. Therefore, data mining was used herein to determine the treatment principles and the most effective acupoint selection for the treatment of idiopathic tinnitus. Methods: The clinical research literature of acupuncture in the treatment of idiopathic tinnitus from the establishment of the database to September 1, 2023 in China National Knowledge Infrastructure, China Medical Journal Full-text Database, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library and Web of Science databases was retrieved and extracted. Microsoft Excel 2016 was used to establish the acupoint prescription database and the frequency statistics of acupoints, meridians and specific acupoints were carried out. IBM SPSS Statistics 25.0 software was used for cluster analysis of acupoints, and IBM SPSS Modeler18.0 software was used for association rule analysis of acupoints. Results: A total of 112 articles were included, involving 221 acupuncture prescriptions, including 99 acupoints, with a total frequency of 1786 times. The 5 most frequently used acupoints were Tinggong (SI19), Tinghui (GB2), Yifeng (TE17), Ermen (TE21), and Zhongzhu (TE3). The commonly used meridians were Sanjiao meridian of hand-shaoyang, Gallbladder meridian of foot-shaoyang and Small intestine meridian of hand-taiyang. The specific points are mostly Crossing point, Five-shu point and Yuan-primary point. The core acupoint combination of association rules was Ermen (TE21)–Tinggong (SI19)–Tinghui (GB2)–Yifeng (TE17), and 3 effective clustering groups were obtained by cluster analysis of high-frequency acupoints. Conclusion: In this study, the published literature on acupuncture treatment of idiopathic tinnitus was analyzed by data mining, and the relationship between acupoints was explored, which provided a more wise choice for clinical acupuncture treatment of idiopathic tinnitus.

“…During acupuncture treatment, imaging techniques can be employed to track the patients’ physiological responses and deqi sensations such as electroencephalogram (EEG) [80] , functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) [81] , and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) [82] . Recently, a combination of AI and imaging technologies has been used to evaluate the efficacy of acupuncture.…”

Acupuncture, a form of traditional Chinese medicine with a history of 2000 years in China, has gained wider acceptance worldwide as a complementary therapy. Studies have examined its effectiveness in various health conditions and it is commonly used alongside conventional medical treatments. With the development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, new possibilities for improving the efficacy and precision of acupuncture have emerged. This study explored the combination of traditional acupuncture and AI technology from three perspectives: acupuncture diagnosis, prescription, and treatment evaluation. The study aimed to provide cutting-edge direction and theoretical assistance for the development of an acupuncture robot.
