Comparative Techniques of Acupuncture and Dry Needling Intersecting with Trigger Point Physiology and Diagnostics: A Cross-Discipline Narrative Review
CONCLUSIONS: Historical evidence suggests a need to examine the use of heat in needling further. Additional research should be conducted on TrP categories to determine if a relationship with the needling technique can be established. Furthermore, interdisciplinary communication would benefit both modalities.PMID:37900872 | PMC:PMC10606949 | DOI:10.1089/acu.2023.0031 (Source: Acupuncture in Medicine)

Is Dry Needling Treatment an Extra Contribution to Conventional Treatment for Hemiplegic Shoulder Pain? A Prospective, Randomized Controlled Study
CONCLUSIONS: Adding DN treatment to conventional rehabilitation did not show any difference except in some joint ROM measurements in the subacute time. Although the changes found were statistically significant, they were not clinically significant as they did not reach MCID values.This study was registered prospectively at ClinicalTrials.gov (ref. no: NCT04790071).PMID:37900876 | PMC:PMC10606952 | DOI:10.1089/acu.2023.0060 (Source: Acupuncture in Medicine)

The author describes each case and shares his observations about them. First, acupuncture was used on a high-school football field sideline to help alleviate acute calf cramping in a player. Second, acupuncture was used in a division 2 college athletic training room to treat a player with subacute thoracic pain that was not improving with the usual treatments provided by the athletic trainers.

Traumatic Brain Injury: Acupuncture Treatment
Med Acupunct. 2023 Oct 1;35(5):251-256. doi: 10.1089/acu.2023.0017. Epub 2023 Oct 17.ABSTRACTTraumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. It is estimated that half of the people in the world will experience at least 1 episode of TBI during their lifetimes. While the primary injury to the brain parenchyma is usually irreversible, the secondary effects, which involve cellular dysfunction, derangement of blood flow, and blood-brain barrier changes in ionic flux and elevated levels of free radicals are potentially amenable to treatment. At present, there are no neuroprotective agent...
