The condition affects almost all physiologic functions of the body and is a significant threat to public health. Treatment of obesity is often difficult and expensive. Pharmacologic therapy has many side-effects. Acupuncture, a nonpharmacologic therapy, has shown promising results for treating obesity. Electroacupuncture (EA) and thread-embedded acupuncture (TEA) can be used. The aim of this study was to analyze the therapeutic effects of EA and TEA, using polydioxanone (PDO), on weight loss, waist circumference, and plasma-leptin concentrations in obese patients undergoing a dietary intervention.Materials and methods: This single-blinded, randomized clinical trial randomized 34 subjects into 2 groups: EA and TEA. In the EA group, EA was administered 3 times per week for 4 weeks (a total of 12 sessions). In the TEA group, EA was administered only once. Body weight and waist circumference were measured at baseline, and on days 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 (end) of the trial. Plasma-leptin concentrations were measured at the beginning and end of the trial.Results: There was a significant decrease in body weight and waist circumference in the groups before and after treatment (P < 0.001), and a significant decrease in plasma-leptin concentrations in the EA (P = 0.012) and TEA groups (P = 0.001). There were no significant differences between the groups in weight loss (P = 0.621), waist circumference (P = 0.545), and plasma-leptin concentration (P = 0.784).Conclusions: EA and PDO TEA are equally effective for reducing body weight, waist circumference, and plasma-leptin concentrations in obese patients undergoing dietary interventions. However, TEA is more time-efficient than EA.","PeriodicalId":45511,"journal":{"name":"Medical Acupuncture","volume":"34 6","pages":"380-390"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9805856/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10536378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The reasons for male infertility may vary, and one of them is related to an idiopathic factor that may impair spermatogenesis. Acupuncture is one of the most well-known and widely accepted alternative treatments and is becoming known as an effective complementary therapy for infertility.Case: The case in this article demonstrated the effectiveness of electroacupuncture (EA) for improving male fertility by referring to the total motile sperm count (TMSC), sperm morphology and motility, DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI) of the sperm before and after EA, and pregnancy success in a couple with male infertility. Couples are given therapy with EA twice per week for up to 12 sessions and planned intercourse during the fertile period (ovulation). After planned intercourse, the wife became pregnant; an intrauterine gestational sac (GS) was seen on transvaginal ultrasound and her human chorionic gonadotropin urine test was positive.Results: The TMSC parameter, sperm morphology and sperm motility, post-EA DFI was improved, compared to pre-EA. The couple was became pregnant after undergoing EA 12 times to treat male infertility.Conclusions: This case illustrated that EA therapy for idiopathic male infertility has an effect toward improvement of the spermiogram test result, DFI, and success in achieving a pregnancy. However, further research is needed because there are many patients with different causes for their infertility.","PeriodicalId":45511,"journal":{"name":"Medical Acupuncture","volume":"34 6","pages":"405-409"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9805838/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10534459","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cumulatively, these metrics guide patient-centered care and facilitate optimal service delivery. The purpose of this scoping review was to evaluate measures of patient satisfaction with acupuncture treatments.Materials and methods: This scoping review was guided by the Arksey and O'Malley methodological framework. Analysis was performed based on the multidimensional hierarchical model of perceived service-quality conceptual framework. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis statement was used to organize included publications and to display search processes in a flow diagram. An academic reference librarian conducted a literature search, using electronic databases that included PubMed,® Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, EMBASE,® and Web of Science.Results: A total of 384 publications were initially identified and screened; 26 met the eligibility criteria and were included in the synthesis. Discrepancies in the use of patient-satisfaction measures among studies were found in only 1 study demonstrating holistic assessment.Conclusions: There is a need for consistent measurement of patient satisfaction with acupuncture treatments. Future studies may evaluate development of a satisfaction tool to measure patient satisfaction with acupuncture treatments comprehensively.","PeriodicalId":45511,"journal":{"name":"Medical Acupuncture","volume":"34 5","pages":"308-315"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9595629/pdf/acu.2022.0015.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40434394","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It causes long-term changes in the brain. Gambling disorder is a nonsubstance behavioral addiction. An important feature of gambling disorder is maladaptive gambling behavior that is persistent and repetitive, and interferes with patients' personal lives, families, and/or activities. Acupuncture is a nonpharmacologic therapeutic modality for managing addiction, with good results.Case: A 32-year-old man with a gambling disorder was referred from a psychiatry department. The patient had a history of gambling since high school. He began to gamble in larger amounts in 2019. The patient got antiseizure, antidepressant, and antipsychotic medications, and cognitive behavioral therapy in the psychiatry department. Manual acupuncture therapy was performed at GV 20, Ex-HN 1, Ex-HN 3, PC 6, ST 40, and LR 3. Electroacupuncture was performed at LI 4, LI 11, ST 36, SP 6, and ST 25. Laser acupuncture was performed at NADA protocol bilateral ear points. The patient also received scalp acupuncture for extrapyramidal symptoms After this combination of acupuncture therapy for 8 sessions, with pharmacotherapy and psychotherapy, the patient's condition improved.Conclusions: Acupuncture produces positive results in patient with gambling disorders. It helps regulate the reward system; stimulates release of neurotransmitters in the brain; produces neuroprotective effects; and activates certain brain areas to suppress impulsivity and craving and to balance emotions. Acupuncture is thought to be related to increased blood flow in the frontal lobe, thereby increasing nerve metabolism, as well as regulating dopamine in the basal ganglia. A combination of acupuncture, pharmacologic agents, and psychotherapy has a positive synergistic effect in patients with gambling disorder.","PeriodicalId":45511,"journal":{"name":"Medical Acupuncture","volume":"34 5","pages":"331-336"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9595637/pdf/acu.2021.0013.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"40434398","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
