Electroacupuncture at Feishu (UB 13) and Zusanli (ST 36) improves COPD

Pub Med

Numerous randomised controlled trials have suggested the positive effects of acupuncture on chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the underlying therapeutic mechanisms of acupuncture for COPD have not been clearly summarized yet. Inflammation is central to the development of COPD. In this review, we elucidate the effects and underlying mechanisms …

Electric-acupuncture at Tianshu (ST 25) helps treat sepsis

Pub Med

Acupuncture plays a vital anti-inflammatory action in sepsis by activating autonomic nerve anti-inflammatory pathways, such as sympathoadrenal medullary pathway, but the mechanism remains unclear. This study aims to explore the optimum parameter of electroacupuncture (EA) stimulation in regulating the sympathoadrenal medullary pathway and evaluate electroacupuncture‘s anti-inflammatory effect on sepsis. To …

Electroacupuncture can improve uterine health, receptivity and reduce inflammation

Pub Med

Autophagy is a well conserved metabolic system that maintains homeostasis by relying on lysosomal breakdown. Both the endometrium of patients with intrauterine adhesion (IUA) and an animal model exhibit impaired autophagy. Autophagy is negatively correlated with inflammation. Activation of autophagy can inhibit the inflammatory response, while defects in autophagy will …

Electroacupunture improves gastrointestinal functional recovery and pain following colorectal surgery

Pub Med

Background: This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of electroacupuncture in improving postoperative ileus after colorectal surgery. Methods: Electronic databases (e.g., Medline) were screened to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that focused on the association between electroacupuncture and postoperative ileus. Time to first flatus served as the primary outcome, while …
