“…There were 10 types of PC6 acupoint stimulation: needle acupuncture (Dundee 1986; Dundee 1989; Sharma 2007; Streitberger 2004; Yentis 1992); infiltration of dextrose (Ravi 2010; Tavlan 1996; Wang 2002; Yang 1993) or with droperidol (Zhu 2010); semipermanent needles (Andrzejowski 1996); electrical stimulation of needles (Amir 2007; Dundee 1989; El-Deeb 2011; Gan 2004; Ho 1990; Rusy 2002); transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (Fassoulaki 1993; Ho 1990), transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (Habib 2006; Wang 2010; Xu 2012), laser stimulation (Butkovic 2005; Schlager 1998); acu-stimulation device (Ertas 2015; Frey 2009a; Frey 2009b; Kim 2004; White 2002; Zárate 2001); and acupressure (Adib-Hajbaghery 2013; Agarwal 2000; Agarwal 2002; Alkaissi 1999; Alkaissi 2002; Allen 1994; Barsoum 1990; Direkvand-Moghadam 2013; Duggal 1998; Ebrahim Soltani 2010; Ferrara-Love 1996; Gieron 1993; Harmon 1999; Harmon 2000; Ho 1996; Iqbal 2012; Klein 2004; Lewis 1991; Majholm 2011; Nilsson 2015; Sadighha 2008; Samad 2003; Schultz 2003; Turgut 2007; White 2012).

“…ES was primarily applied for the prevention or treatment of nausea and vomiting, except for one study that used LS for this purpose. TEAS was the main method used for preventing nausea and vomiting: we retrieved nine articles on TEAS,96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104 two on EA,105, 106 and one on LS 107 .

Acupuncture therapy has been proved to be effective for diverse diseases, symptoms, and conditions in numerous clinical trials. The growing popularity of acupuncture therapy has triggered the development of modern acupuncture-like stimulation devices (ASDs), which are equivalent or superior to manual acupuncture with respect to safety, decreased risk of infection, and facilitation of clinical trials. Here, we aim to summarize the research on modern ASDs, with a focus on featured devices undergoing active research and their effectiveness and target symptoms, along with annual publication rates. We searched the popular electronic databases Medline, PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science, and analyzed English-language studies on humans. Thereby, a total of 728 studies were identified, of which 195 studies met our inclusion criteria. Electrical stimulators were found to be the earliest and most widely studied devices (133 articles), followed by laser (44 articles), magnetic (16 articles), and ultrasound (2 articles) stimulators. A total of 114 studies used randomized controlled trials, and 109 studies reported therapeutic benefits. The majority of the studies (32%) focused on analgesia and pain-relief effects, followed by effects on brain activity (16%). All types of the reviewed ASDs were associated with increasing annual publication trends; specifically, the annual growth in publications regarding noninvasive stimulation methods was more rapid than that regarding invasive methods. Based on this observation, we anticipate that the noninvasive or minimally invasive ASDs will become more popular in acupuncture therapy.

“…Studies of post-operative pain in cancer patients also favor acupuncture [6, 15] , although a recent Cochrane review was unable to draw conclusions based on the quality of evidence from prior trials [16] . Many RCTs also show strong evidence that acupuncture effectively treats chemotherapy-induced and postoperative nausea and vomiting [17–21] .…”

Background Effective pain management among hospitalized patients is an important aspect of providing quality care and achieving optimal clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction. Common pharmacologic approaches for pain, though effective, have serious side effects and are not appropriate for all inpatients. Findings from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) support the efficacy of acupuncture for many symptoms relevant to inpatients including postoperative pain, cancer-related pain, nausea and vomiting, and withdrawal from narcotic use. However, the extent to which findings from RCTs translate to real-world implementation of acupuncture in typical hospital settings is unknown. Methods/Design In partnership with the launch of a clinical program offering acupuncture services to inpatients at the University of California, San Francisco’s Mount Zion Hospital, we are conducting a pilot study using a hybrid effectiveness-implementation design to: (1) assess the effectiveness of acupuncture to manage pain and other symptoms and improve patient satisfaction; and (2) evaluate the barriers and facilitators to implementing an on-going acupuncture service for inpatients. During a 2-month pre-randomization phase, we evaluated and adapted clinical scheduling and treatment protocols with acupuncturists and hospital providers and pretested study procedures including enrollment, consent, and data collection. During a 6-month randomization phase, we used a two-tiered consent process in which inpatients were first consented into a study of symptom management, randomized to be offered acupuncture, and consented for acupuncture if they accepted. We are also conducting in-depth interviews and focus groups to assess evidence, context, and facilitators of key provider and hospital administration stakeholders. Discussion Effectiveness research in ‘real-world’ practice settings is needed to inform clinical decision-making and guide implementation of evidence-based acupuncture practices. To successfully provide clinical acupuncture services and maintain a rigorous research design, practice-based trials of acupuncture require careful planning and attention to setting-specific, contextual factors. Trial Registration This trial has been registered in ClinicalTrials.gov. The identifier is NCT01988194, registered on November 5, 2013.
