Recent evidence supports its utility in managing chronic coronary syndromes (CCS), including symptom relief, reduced angina frequency, and decreased nitroglycerin use. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of acupuncture on serum asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) levels in patients with CCS.Methods: In this prospective cross-sectional study conducted between January and October 2019, patients with CCS were recruited from cardiology and traditional/complementary medicine clinics. Patients who received 10 sessions of acupuncture comprised the Case group, with their ADMA levels measured before and after treatment. Patients who declined acupuncture formed the Control group, with their ADMA levels assessed at the same intervals. Acupoints used were primarily on the pericardial and heart meridians, notably Neiguan (PC6) and Shenmen (HT7).Results: Baseline ADMA levels were similar between the groups. However, posttreatment ADMA levels were significantly lower in the Case group [1.81 (0.80-139.04) vs. 9.46 (0.51-167.80); p = 0.019]. A significant reduction in ADMA levels was observed in the Case group following acupuncture [3.13 (0.88-189.00) vs. 1.81 (0.80-139.04); p < 0.0001], whereas no significant change occurred in the Control group compared with the Case group [7.20 (0.72-198.7) vs. 9.46 (0.51-167.80); p = 0.019].Conclusions: Acupuncture, when combined with guideline-directed medical therapy, significantly reduced serum ADMA levels in CCS patients. This suggests its potential role in modulating endothelial function via the ADMA-nitric oxide pathway. Larger studies with long-term follow-up are warranted to confirm these findings and assess clinical applicability.","PeriodicalId":45511,"journal":{"name":"Medical Acupuncture","volume":"38 2","pages":"143-149"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13089289/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147934219","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}

Auricular acupressure therapy is another promising therapy for weight loss. The combination of both treatments for abdominal obesity was yet to be investigated in a single-blind randomized control trial.Methods: A single-blind randomized control trial involving two groups in a 1:1 ratio, both groups received abdominal catgut embedding therapy. The intervention group also received auricular acupressure therapy on weight loss acupoints. The control group also received auricular acupressure therapy on nonweight loss acupoints. Main outcomes: body weight, body mass index (BMI), basal metabolic rate (BMR), body fat percentage, waist-to-hip ratio, and secondary measurements: triglycerides and total cholesterol, follow-up was 12 weeks.Results: There were 44 participants included in the study, at baseline there was no significant difference in any of the measurements (p > 0.05). There was a significant reduction in fat percentage and waist-to-hip ratio and a significant increase in BMR when comparing baseline to the 12-week measurement within the intervention group participants (p < 0.05).Conclusion: The study found that the combination of abdominal catgut embedding with auricular acupressure therapy can lead to a minimal reduction in fat percentage and waist-to-hip ratio along with an increase in BMR in individuals with abdominal obesity. The small sample size of the study should be taken into consideration as a major limitation of the study. More research is warranted to verify the effect of the combined treatment.","PeriodicalId":45511,"journal":{"name":"Medical Acupuncture","volume":"37 5","pages":"369-376"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12820696/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146031181","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}
