Conservative non-pharmacological treatments for chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathies in women treated for breast cancer: a systematic review
CONCLUSIONS: There is still controversial evidence on conservative non-pharmacological interventions for the management of CIPN symptoms. We believe however that moderate exercise, as well as all types of stress reducing activities like sport, yoga and mindfulness, should be encouraged in cancer patients for their positive effect on global physical and psychological health. Further studies of higher methodological quality are needed to determine the best conservative approach to CIPN.PMID:38502556 | DOI:10.23736/S1973-9087.24.08197-8 (Source: Health Physics)

A scoping review of mechanisms of auricular acupuncture for treatment of pain
CONCLUSION: AA is an accessible, effective means of pain relief. AA is relatively straightforward to learn, and protocols and curriculums exist to teach health care professionals this valuable skill.

Effects of acupuncture on SATB1/p21 signaling pathway and SASPs in MPTP-induced Parkinson disease model mice
ConclusionAcupuncture can improve motor function and increase the number of TH-positive neurons in the SN of PD model mice. Its neuroprotective effect may relate to the regulation of the SATB1/p21 signaling pathway and the inhibition of cellular senescence-related biomarker expression in the SN.

Combining various acupuncture therapies with multimodal analgesia to enhance postoperative pain management following total knee arthroplasty: a network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
ConclusionFor the clinical treatment of post-TKA pain, acupuncture-related therapies can be selected as a complementary and alternative therapy. EA + MA and TEAS+MA demonstrate superior efficacy in alleviating postoperative pain among TKA patients. ACU + MA is the optimal choice for promoting postoperative knee joint function recovery in TKA patients. AAT + MA is recommended for preventing postoperative adverse reactions.Systematic review registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/, identifier (CRD42023492859). (Source: Frontiers in Neurology)

Mechanism of moxibustion in treating chronic inflammatory visceral pain: regulation of the p38 MAPK/ELK1 signaling pathway in the spinal cord
ConclusionHPM exerted analgesic effects via downregulating the mRNA and phosphorylated protein expression of ASK1, MKK3, p38 MAPK, and ELK1 in the spinal cord of CIVP rats. The inhibition of spinal p38 MAPK/ELK1 signaling pathway activation may be one of the mechanisms by which HPM relieves pain in CIVP. (Source: Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science)

Study of the mechanism of acupuncture and moxibustion in protecting the intestinal mucosal barrier in DSS-induced UC rats based on the IL-9/IL-9R pathway
ConclusionBoth HM and EA can inhibit the protein expression levels of IL-9 and IL-9R in the UC colon by regulating the transcription factor PU.1, promote the repair of intestinal mucosal barrier, and down-regulate protein contents of proinflammatory factors IL-9, IL-6, and IL-1 β in the serum, which may be one of the key mechanisms of acupuncture and moxibustion in reducing the inflammation of UC colonic mucosa and protecting the intestinal mucosal barrier.

Acupuncture in cancer care: recommendations for safe practice (peer-reviewed expert opinion)
ConclusionThese are the first international, multidisciplinary peer-reviewed recommendations for safe acupuncture practice in integrative oncology. Concerns about safety remain a significant barrier to appropriate referral from oncology teams, to use by acupuncturists and to uptake by patients. Disseminating trustworthy, widely accessible guidance should facilitate informed, confident practice of acupuncture in and outside of oncology healthcare settings. (Source: Supportive Care in Cancer)
