Effects of contralateral versus ipsilateral electroacupuncture for analgesia and rehabilitation after unilateral total knee arthroplasty: a randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSION: Contralateral EA is more effective than sham EA for treating postoperative pain following TKA, but has an analgesic effect similar to that of ipsilateral EA.TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: ChiCTR1800020297 (Chinese Clinical Trial Registry).PMID:38149653 | DOI:10.1177/09645284231211601 (Source: Acupuncture in Medicine)

Efficacy of trigger point dry needling on pain and function of the hip joint: a systematic review of randomized clinical trials
CONCLUSION: DN may be safe and effective at relieving hip pain and improving hip function. DN performs significantly better than several different types of control intervention (including sham DN, no treatment, corticosteroid injections and laser). Strong evidence (high degree of certainty around the results) is lacking, and future studies should ideally use longer follow-up periods and larger sample sizes.REVIEW REGISTRATION NUMBER: CRD42022297845 (PROSPERO).PMID:38149616 | DOI:10.1177/09645284231207870 (Source: Acupuncture in Medicine)

Electroacupuncture at GB20 improves cognitive ability and synaptic plasticity via the CaM-CaMKII-CREB signaling pathway following cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats
CONCLUSION: EA treatment at GB20 may ameliorate the negative effects of MCAO on cognitive function in rats by enhancing synaptic plasticity. EA treatment at GB20 may exert this neuroprotective effect by regulating the CACNA1B-CaM-CaMKII-CREB axis.PMID:38126262 | DOI:10.1177/09645284231202805 (Source: Acupuncture in Medicine)

Research Trends of Acupuncture Therapy on Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome from 2000 to 2022: A Bibliometric Analysis
CONCLUSION: This study shows that acupuncture on CPPS is increasingly valued and recognized. The future research hotspots will focus on the effects and mechanisms. In the future, more high-quality animal basic research will be required to explore the exact mechanism of acupuncture on CPPS. In addition, different parameters of acupuncture such as electric-acupuncture, stimulating frequency, duration and strength are also the focus of future research. More clinical trials are required to verify its safety and effectiveness.PMID:38054110 | PMC:PMC10695139 | DOI:10.2147/JPR.S434333 (Source: Acupuncture in Medicine)
