Randomized Controlled Trial
[Clinical observation on therapeutic effect of cupping combined with acupuncture stimulation at trigger points for lumbar myofascial pain syndrome].
To observe the clinical effect of cupping combined with acupuncture stimulation of trigger points on lumbar myofascial pain syndrome (MPS). ⋯ Both acupuncture stimulation of trigger points plus TDP and cupping plus acupuncture can effectively relieve pain in MPS patients, while the therapeutic effect of cupping plus acupuncture treatment lasts longer analgesic effect.

Randomized Controlled Trial
[Effect of warm acupuncture stimulation of Waiguan (TE 5) on post-stroke shoulder-hand syndrome].
To evaluate the therapeutic effect of warm acupuncture (moxa-heated acupuncture) needle stimulation of Waiguan (TE 5) acupoint in the treatment of shoulder-hand syndrome (phase I) in patients with stroke. ⋯ Warm acupuncture combined with routine acupuncture and rehabilitation training is effective in improving shoulder pain, hand edema and limb motor function in stroke patients with shoulder-hand syndrome at phase I.

Randomized Controlled Trial
[Effect of dexmedetomidine and midazolam on respiration and circulation functions in patients undergoing open heart surgery under acupuncture-assisted general anesthesia].
To evaluate the effect of Dexmedetomidine and Midazolam on respiratory and circulation in patients experiencing open heart surgery under acupuncture-assisted general anesthesia. ⋯ Dexmedetomidine is superior to Midazolam in analgesia, and improving respiration and circulation functions for open heart surgery patients under acupuncture-assisted general anesthesia.

To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on superoxide (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity, contents of glutathione (GSH) and malondiadehyde (MDA), and expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and apoptosis of Dopaminergic (DA) neurons in Substantia Nigra of rats with Parkinson's disease (PD). ⋯ EA intervention can reduce pathological changes of Substantial Nigra in PD rats, which is probably associated with its effects in up-regulating the SOD and GSH-Px activity, GSH contents, and down-regulating MDA level, and reducing the apoptosis of DA neurons of the Substantia Nigra, suggesting an anti-oxidative stress effect of EA therapy.

To observe the effect of different intensities of manual acupuncture (MA) stimulation on mechanical pain thresholds (PTs) and the expression of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinases (p-ERK) in lumbar spinal dorsal horn regions in rats with neuropathic mirror-image pain, so as to explore its mechanisms underlying analgesia. ⋯ Strong MA-stimulation can alleviate neuropathic mirror-image pain in SNL rats, which is closely related to its effect in down-regulating the expression of p-ERK in the bilateral spinal dorsal horn regions.
