Anxiety, Acupuncture and New Evidence
2009-01-22 23:03:00 There have been a few interesting stories this week that although not directly related, have implications of the treatment of anxiety . Firstly the BBC reported on an interesting study on the benefits of acupuncture. The study was not aimed at acupuncture used to treat anxiety but more at preventing headaches and migraines. There is something of a link here as many people believe migraines are stress related. The study was basically a meta-analysis of thirty-three other studies and found interestingly that acupuncture worked. More interestingly still they found that so-called sham acupuncture worked just as well, that is to say that it doesn't seem to matter whether you stick the needles in the centuries old Chinese positions, or just do it randomly. This suggests one of two things. Either the whole phenomenon is just the placebo effect and there is really no therapeutic benefit, or there is something about stimulating parts of the body which does actually promote health. Ebooks o...

Acupuncture reduces pain in head and neck cancer patients
2008-06-01 12:57:00 CM NEWS - Acupuncture has been found to significantly reduce pain dysfunction, and dry mouth in head and neck cancer patients after neck dissection. The study was led by David Pfister, MD, Chief of the Head and Neck Medical Oncology Service, and Barrie Cassileth, PhD, Chief of the Integrative Medicine Service, at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Centre (MSKCC). Dr Pfister presented the findings at the annual meeting of the American Society for Clinical Oncology. Neck dissection is a common procedure for treatment of head and neck cancer. There are different types of neck dissection, which vary based on which structures are removed and the anticipated side effects. One type ? the radical neck dissection ? involves complete removal of lymph nodes from one side of the neck, the muscle that helps turn the head, a major vein, and a nerve that is critical to full range of motion for the arm and shoulder. “Chronic pain and shoulder mobility problems are common after such surgery, adve...

Your Next Step in Skin Fitness is the Acupuncture
2008-04-05 05:52:00 by Sara Musfeldt The practice of inserting filiform needs into specific spots on the body and then manipulating those needles is a technique that many practitioners of Traditional Chinese Medicine have done for centuries. Many of us comprehend the practice, acupuncture as it is called, to balance the body’s energy, or qi, which can be beneficial in relieving pain and nausea among other things. What many of us don’t know is that when it comes to skin fitness, acupuncture can work wonders. Acupuncture is commonly used in treating eczema, psoriasis, dry skin, and acne. In most cases, practitioners will advocate a combination of diet and herbal supplements to complement the acupuncture treatments. Many claim that for acne specifically this combination of treatments can be more effective than benzoyl peroxide and antibiotics. The acupuncture needles used in treating acne can be put on or near an actual pimple, but usually they are put on the body at key points that are know...
Acupuncture Board: Blind Need Not Apply
2008-04-04 21:52:00 Acupuncture is an 8000 year old medical treatment. The first record of an acupuncturist who was blind occurred during the Edo Period (about 1600), though blind individuals likely practiced before that.Acupuncturists who are blind make up about 30% of all licensed acupuncturists in Japan. They work alongside their sighted peers in private practice and at clinics and hospitals throughout the country. There are even schools that specialize in teaching blind students the skill. They hold the same licenses, earn the same wages, and charge the same fees as any sighted acupuncturist. But none of that has helped Juliana Cumbo, who has a master's degree from Academy of Oriental Medicine in Austin Texas; she also served her internship there. In addition, she passed the Texas State Board Exams. She has been blind since she was ten years old. Will Morris, President of the Academy said, "Juliana is an exemplary practitioner ... and she is extremely talented... I am proud to sign her dipl...

Acupuncture ?increases IVF success? by 65%
2008-02-11 03:30:00 Times - Women who undergo IVF increase their chances of pregnancy if they are also treated with acupuncture, a new analysis suggests. The benefits may be large ? a 65% increase in the chance of becoming pregnant, and a 91% increase in the number of live births. The results have emerged from a meta-analysis, a technique in which the results of many previous trials are pooled. A team led by Dr Eric Manheimer of the University of Maryland School of Medicine scanned medical literature for trials that attempted to measure the effect of acupuncture on IVF success. They found 108 trials, but rejected all but seven because of defects of methodology ? such as that acupuncture was not administered within a day of IVF or was used as a form of pain relief. The seven they retained, all published since 2002 and carried out in four Western countries, involved 1,366 women. In all the trials the women were given acupuncture immediately before or after the test-tube embryo was transferred to their wo...

A practitioner may or may not use needles, herbs, magnets, crystals or his or her own Qi. Each of these modalitie...
