“…De acordo com a literatura científica, a acupuntura utilizada no tratamento de HAS é benéfica em reduzir as pressões arteriais dos pacientes em comparação àqueles do grupo placebo, os quais não receberam estímulos em pontos específicos para tal objetivo (ZHENG et al, 2019;JINGJING et al, 2023;ZHANG et al, 2021;BIÇER et al, 2021).…”

ResumoFormas alternativas de tratamento da hipertensão, tais como acupuntura e acupressura, procuram reduzir a pressão arterial a fim de deixá-la dentro dos limites de normalidade. O presente estudo teve por objetivo investigar, por meio de uma revisão de literatura, os efeitos da acupuntura e/ou acupressura na hipertensão arterial sistêmica. Trata-se de revisão de literatura por meio de uma pesquisa na base de dados Pubmed, utilizando os descritores: "acupuncture ", "treatment of hypertension" no período de 2019 e 2023. Dentre os artigos selecionados, apenas 10 artigos publicados estavam de acordo com os critérios estabelecidos. Destes, 9 artigos demonstraram redução na pressão arterial sistêmica com técnicas de acupuntura sistêmica, acupuntura auricular ou acupressura. A acupuntura sistêmica, auricular ou acupressura apresentou efeitos benéficos na redução dos níveis de pressão arterial em hipertensos em 9 dos 10 artigos avaliados. Os principais acupontos utilizados nesses estudos científicos foram F3, E36 e CS6.

BACKGROUND: No study has yet demonstrated the effect of lower limb gait rehabilitation robot treatment combined with acupuncture on stroke patients. OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of acupuncture combined with lower limb gait rehabilitation robot on walking function in patients with hemiplegia after stroke. METHODS: Fifty-six patients with hemiplegia after stroke were enrolled and randomly divided into two groups. The control group received regular rehabilitation training and acupuncture therapy; the intervention group was additionally trained by AiWalker-I lower limb gait robot. Both groups received 5 sessions a week for 4 weeks. Walking function parameters were assessed before and after the 4-week treatment. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in all parameters between the two groups in baseline (P > 0.05). After 4 weeks of treatment, all parameters including the effectiveness of functional ambulation category (FAC), time up and go test (TUGT) time, Wisconsin gait scale (WGS) score, walking spatiotemporal parameters were all significantly improved in both groups with a significant better effect in the intervention group (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Acupuncture combined with lower limb gait rehabilitation robot training has a positive effect on correction of abnormal gait and improvement of walking ability of hemiplegic patients after stroke.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of auricular acupuncture (AA) on postoperative analgesia, the degree of postoperative nausea, and the effect of inflammation after total knee arthroplasty (TKA).MethodsThis was a single-center, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trial. In total, 96 patients were randomly divided into an AA group with an indwelling intradermal needle (n = 48) and a sham auricular acupuncture (SAA) group with a non-penetrating placebo needle (n = 48). Intra-spinal anesthesia was adopted in both groups during surgery, and an epidural analgesic pump was implanted after surgery for 48 h. The primary outcome was the post-surgery visual analog score (VAS) of resting and movement states (at 6, 12 h and 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 days). The secondary outcomes included additional doses of analgesic injection during the treatment, C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and white blood cell (WBC) count on the 1st, 3rd, and 7th day after the operation, nausea on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd day after the operation, the Hospital for Special Surgery Knee Score (HSS) on the 2nd and 12th week after the operation, and adverse events.ResultsThe VAS in the AA group at 6 h, 12 h, 2, 3, and 5 days after surgery were lower than those of the SAA group (p < 0.05). Among the secondary outcomes, the total dose of additional analgesic injection after surgery in the AA group was lower than that in the SAA group (p < 0.05). The serum CRP on the 1st day after operation in the AA group was lower than that in the SAA group (p < 0.05). The degree of nausea on 2nd day after surgery in the AA group was lower than that in the SAA group (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference in other outcomes (p > 0.05).ConclusionIn this study, AA was shown to be an effective and safe complementary and alternative therapy for pain relief after TKA, which was able to reduce the total postoperative dose of additional painkillers, decrease serum CRP 1 day after surgery, and improve the degree of postoperative nausea.Clinical trial registrationwww.chictr.org.cn, ChiCTR2100054403.
