“…Further research with appropriately powered patient cohorts is needed to more clearly determine the type and location of acupoint stimulus needed to induce a specific effect. Nevertheless, the current evidence does allow for broad generalizations regarding timing and duration of acutherapy in the perioperative period, and we make the following observations (Table 2): 1) subgroup analyses suggest that pain control is enhanced when acupuncture is initiated preoperatively 10,29‐32 ; 2) as little as 20 minutes of treatment immediately before surgery may be sufficient 33 ; and 3) given the highly variable nature of pain perception, a trained acutherapist is helpful in guiding location of acupoint stimulation.…”

Integrative oncology has emerged as a recognized medical subspecialty because of growing interest in the use of integrative medicine in modern cancer care on behalf of both patients and providers. Acutherapy and mind‐body techniques, such as meditation and yoga, have been shown to aid in symptom control and improve quality of life in oncologic patient populations, and the Society of Integrative Oncology and American Society of Clinical Oncology have recently endorsed a set of guidelines for the implementation of these techniques specifically in patients with breast cancer. Although the current guidelines focus largely on the management of chronic symptoms, there exists evidence to support the use of these techniques in acute symptom management as well. With surgical resection representing the backbone of many cancer treatment regimens, symptoms that arise during the perioperative period are prime examples of the acute symptomatology common among patients with cancer. Here, the authors provide a detailed literature review of the current evidence supporting the use of integrative techniques during the perioperative period and demonstrate their applicability for acute symptom management within oncologic and surgical populations. In doing so, the authors introduce a new paradigm of surgical practice they call integrative surgical oncology and integrative surgery.

There has been a growing interest in the use of complementary and alternative medicine in modern pain management strategies on behalf of both patients and clinicians. Nonpharmacologic modalities such as cryotherapy, acupuncture, music, and mind-body therapies have been shown to aid in symptom control and improve quality of life in patients suffering from acute and chronic pain, and there is a growing body of literature demonstrating their feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy in the perioperative period. Here, we provide a brief review of the current evidence supporting the use of complementary therapies within existing perioperative pain management strategies and highlight evidence-based protocols to facilitate implementation into modern surgical practice.

“…According to our studies, acupuncture can alter the sensory processing in CNS. For instance, electrophysiological studies have revealed that needling at specific acupoints suppresses the sympathetic skin response [54], cutaneous reflex [55] and blink reflex [56] supraspinally. These results suggested that acupuncture doesn't change the monosynaptic reflex at the brainstem and spinal level.…”
