Comparative efficacy of acupuncture point stimulation treatments for dialysis patients with uremic pruritus: a systematic review and network meta-analysis
ConclusionOur network meta-analysis provided relative efficacy data for choosing the optimal adjuvant treatment for UP. Combined treatment with acupuncture was more effective than conventional treatment only and was the most promising intervention for treating UP.Systematic review registration: PROSPERO (CRD42023425739: https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?ID=CRD42023425739).

Nonpharmacological interventions and outcomes in the management of complications of human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1-related myelopathy/tropical spastic paraparesis: A systematic review
CONCLUSION: The most common physical therapy method used in studies was active and passive body movements, which are associated with positive results for patients. Due to the small sample size in this group of studies, it is necessary to conduct more clinical trials for more accurate conclusions. Furthermore, due to the limited number of studies that have used electrical stimulation or combined intervention packages, it is not possible to say with certainty what effect these methods have on patients. It is necessary to conduct more clinical trials.PMID:38510783 | PMC:PMC10953734 | DOI:10.4103/jrms.jrms_300_22 (Source: Cell Research)

Dynamic intervention strategies await inclusion in clinical evidence synthesis
In the first half of this year, an article about the next generation of evidence-based medicine1 was published in Nature Medicine, emphasising the growing significance of real-world data in future evidence-based practice and research, providing an opportunity for the evidence accumulation of dynamic intervention (DI) strategies (spanning sequential designs to real-time feedback protocols) in various diseases, as is patient-centric, adaptable and pivotal for modern patient care. Most intervention meta-analyses address static interventions, diverging from dynamic clinical practices in multistage diseases such as the fac...

Complementary and alternative medicine on cognitive defects and neuroinflammation after sepsis
J Tradit Chin Med. 2024 Apr;44(2):408-416. doi: 10.19852/j.cnki.jtcm.20240203.002.ABSTRACTSepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) is a common manifestation of sepsis, ranging from mild confusion and delirium to severe cognitive impairment and deep coma. SAE is associated with higher mortality and long-term outcomes, particularly substantial declines in cognitive function. The mechanisms of SAE probably include neuroinflammation that is mediated by systemic inflammation and ischemic lesions in the brain, a disrupted blood-brain barrier, oxidative stress, neurotransmitter dysfunction, and severe microglial activation. Increas...

Effectivenss of electroacupuncture for skeletal muscle pain in Parkinson's disease: a Clinical randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSION: Electroacupuncture therapy can effectively improve skeletal muscle pain in patients with Parkinson's disease, reduce the muscle hardness of patients, improve patients' daily life ability, and improve patients' emotional disorders. The degree of skeletal muscle pain in PD patients is correlated with motor ability and emotional disorders, but there is no significant correlation between the degree of skeletal muscle pain and the muscle tone of PD patients.PMID:38504545 | DOI:10.19852/j.cnki.jtcm.20240203.004 (Source: Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine)
