Randomized Controlled Trial
[A Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial for Treatment of Shoulder-back Myofascial Pain Syndrome with Mild Moxibustion at Trigger Points].
To compare the efficacy difference between the mild moxibustion and acupuncture stimulation at trigger points in the treatment of shoulder and back myofascial pain syndrome (MPS), so as to provide a reference for clinical treatment of MPS. ⋯ Mild moxibustion stimulation of myofascial trigger point is effective in relieving shoulder-back MPS, being comparable to that of acupuncture therapy.

Meta Analysis
[Clinical Efficacy and Safety of Heat-sensitive Moxibustion Therapy for Lumbar Disc Herniation:A Meta-analysis].
To systematically review the effectiveness and safety of heat-sensitive moxibustion (HSM) therapy in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation (LDH). ⋯ The HSM therapy is effective and safe in the treatment of LDH patients.

To observe The effect of electroacupuncture (EA) stimulation of "Zusanli" (ST 36) and "Taichong" (LR 3) on intestinal motor and neurotensin (NT) levels in the plasma, hypothalamus, and gastro-antrum tissues in functional dyspepsia (FD) rats so as to reveal its mechanisms underlying improvement of FD. ⋯ EA intervention can obviously promote gastrointestinal motor in FD rats, which may be related to its function in down-regulating NT levels in the plasma, hypothalamus, gastric antrum and ileum. It suggests an involvement of NT in the brain-gut axis in EA-induced improvement of FD.

Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
[Different Warm Sensations May Induce Different Therapeutic Effects in Primary Dysmenorrhea Patients Undergoing Moxibustion Treatment Based on Propensity Score: A Prospective Cohort Study].
To compare the effectiveness difference between the "heat-sensitive" sensation and conventional warm sensation of moxibustion stimulation of Guanyuan (GV 4) in primary dysmenorrhea (PD) patients. ⋯ The heat-sensitive moxibustion is superior to conventional warm moxibustion in improving symptoms in primary dysmenorrhea patients.

Randomized Controlled Trial
[Acupuncture Stimulation of Acupoints of Multiple Meridians for Patients with Diminished Ovarian Reserve of Both Yin and Yang Deficiency].
To observe the effect of acupuncture stimulation of acupoints of the Conception Vessel, Kidney Meridian, Spleen Meridian, and Bladder Meridian on menstrual cycles and duration, and serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and estrogen 2 (E(2)) levels in patients with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR). ⋯ Acupuncture stimulation of acupoints of the Conception Vessel, Kidney, Spleen, and Bladder Meridians is effective in improving clinical symptoms of DOR patients with deficiency of both yin and yang, and has a longer effect, which may be closely associated with its functions in lowering serum FSH, LH and E(2) levels through regulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis.
