Acupuncture is widely used for bone disease treatments in China. However, it needs to cope with modern medicine. This editorial

provides new acupuncture approaches in modern medicine.

Keywords: Acupuncture; Modern Medicine; Bone-Disease

Introduction

Human bone diseases ask for high-quality surgery, and effective food and drug treatments [1-16]. High levels of disease diagnosis, in-

terventions and therapeutics call for excellent therapy for a lot of patients. Acupuncture is very important for bone disease treatments in

China [16-17]. Acupuncture can support almost all areas of these bone treatments and recovery. This editorial provides new acupuncture

approaches in modern medicine.

Acupuncture history

Acupuncture has a long history in China (>2000 years) [18]. It was never interrupted across the history in China. It was as long as

herbal medicine.

Therapeutic perfection

Acupuncture is different from modern medicine and medical tradition of other countries. It can be very useful for human bone dis-

ease recovery and treatments. Entering into new era, we should promote acupuncture study and clinical application in a systematic way.

Treatment schedules and protocols (temperature, treatment duration, electric-supportive and others) need to be customized [19-21] and

cooperative ways (personalized medicine) [22-26].

Conclusion

In the future, more traditional Chinese medicine will be utilized in human disease treatments. In modern therapy, treatment protocols

should be systematically studied.

Physical Analgesia: Methods, Mechanisms and Algorithms for Post-Operative Pain

Chapter

Full-text available

Apr 2023

Physical analgesia is the application of physical modalities for pain relief. Our objective is to present the potential of some physical factors and correspondent methods of application; and to explain their mechanisms of action. For pain reduction we use: low and middle frequency electric currents (e.g. TENS, interferential currents), electrostatic field (Deep oscillation), magnetic field, light (including Laser), some mineral waters and peloids, physiotherapy (e.g. analytic exercises, mechanotherapy, post-isometric relaxation, massage), reflexotherapy (e.g. acupuncture, acupressure). In rehabilitation practice, we use reflectory connections between the surface of the body and the internal organs (cutaneous-visceral, subcutaneous-visceral, proprio-visceral, periostal-visceral). The theory of Melzack and Wall for gate-control explains some effects of physical factors. We propose our own theory for explanation of mechanisms of physical analgesia. We propose our concept about rehabilitation algorithms in diseases of the nervous and locomotor systems, accentuating on conditions after surgical intervention (neurosurgical and orthopedic operations, including joint endoprosthesis and limb amputations). We present some of our own results in patients with post-operative pain.

Comparing the efficacy of two different temperature stimulation in warm acupuncture on acute low back pain: A randomized controlled trial

Article

Full-text available

May 2021

Background Warm acupuncture, a combination of the mechanical stimulation of acupuncture and thermal stimulation of moxibustion, is commonly used in treating acute low back pain (LBP). This trial aimed to compare the efficacy of stronger (above 43°C) and weaker (above 40°C) heat stimulation in warm acupuncture on the function and pain in patients with acute LBP due to lumbosacral disc degeneration (LDD). Methods One hundred and fifty-nine adults were randomly assigned to receive warm acupuncture treatment with silver needle (SvN) or with stainless steel needle (SSN) (1:1). Both groups received a 3-week therapy with 3 sessions per week. The primary outcome was the modified Oswestry Disability Index at week 4. The secondary outcomes included average pain, three physical sign tests and adverse events. Participants were followed up at week 16 and week 28 after randomization. Results The LBP related disability and pain intensity significantly relieved more in the SvN warm acupuncture group than in the SSN group, in both the short and long term (p<0.001). The between-groups difference in physical signs showed statistical significance only in the short term (p =0.024), but not in long term (p =0.081; p =0.069). Conclusion Compared with warm acupuncture with stainless-steel needle at above 40°C, warm acupuncture with silver needle at above 43°C relieved more disability and pain in patients with acute LBP due to LDD.

The efficacy of jade moxibustion in knee osteoarthritis

Article

Full-text available

Apr 2020

Introduction: This study aims to compare clinical effect between Jade moxibustion and traditional moxibustion, and to determine the clinical effect of Jade moxibustion on knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Methods/design: This is a 2-parallel-group, randomized controlled trial. A total of 148 subjects with KOA (Kellgren-Lawrence grade II or III) will be recruited and randomized to receive Jade moxibustion treatment or a traditional moxibustion treatment in a 1:1 ratio. Jade moxibustion group: The affected knee of the subjects will be covered with jade kneepad. Traditional moxibustion group: Chosen the ST35, ST34, EX-LE4, SP10 and Ashi points at the affected knee. The subjects will receive treatment three times a week, altogether 12 times in 4 weeks. The main outcomes are WOMAC knee pain score, knee function score and SF-36 quality of life questionnaire changes at the 4th week. Secondary outcomes include WOMAC knee pain score and knee function score, overall clinical efficacy evaluation, medication, safety evaluation at the 2nd, 12th, and 24th week, and cytokines related to osteoarthritis in serum. Discussion: This randomized controlled trial used traditional moxibustion as a control group to provide rigorous evidence for the clinical efficacy and safety of Jade moxibustion in treatment of KOA. Trial registration: ISRCTN registry, No 21174552. Registered on 28 February 2020.

The Possible Protective Role of Powder Cuttlefish Bone, Crabshell and Eggshell on Osteoporotic Rats

Bone mass declines alongside maturing, particularly for ladies after menopause as a result of diminishing estrogen emission together with low calcium consumption. This examination was directed to examine the impact of powdered cuttlebone, crab shell and eggshell, on female rats with induced osteoporosis. Fifty adult female albino rats, of (200 ± 10 g) were haphazardly divided into five groups, the first group, negative control group (-ve) fed on basal diet only, the other four groups (10 rats each) were fed on basal diet containing 100 mg prednisone acetate as source of glucocorticoid/ kg diet to induce osteoporosis for two weeks. One group of them was selected as a positive control group, the other three groups were fed on prednisone acetate diets containing powder of cuttlebone, crabshell and eggshell, at the level of 2.5% individually. Blood samples and femur bones were gathered for measure both serum and bone markers of osteoporosis. The results indicated that, supplementation with powder of cuttlebone, crabshell and eggshell significantly (P<0.05) increase of Ca and P in serum of osteoporotic rats. There were a significant increment in serum free thyroxin (T4) and a significant decrease in parathyroid hormone (PTH). Femur bone mineral content (BMC) and bone mineral density (BMD) were likewise increased as compared to positive control group. In addition, liver functions were significantly (P<0.05) improved compared to the positive control group, while serum lipid profiles were significantly decreased. These results recommend that sustaining postmenopausal rats with osteoporosis on diets supplemented with powder of cuttlebone, crab shell and eggshell instigated an enemy of osteoporotic impact. This impact may be due to upgrade of bone arrangement and direction of some metabolic hormones which control calcium. Therefore, it could be recommended using powder of cuttlebone, crabshell and eggshell for postmenopausal women suffering from osteoporosis.
