  • Objectives The purpose of this study is to investigate the current acupuncture therapy of cerebral palsy. Methods We investigated the Chinese clinical papers which were published in the last 10 years(from 1999 to 2008). We found these papers from the oriental medical library in university and we also used the China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI) through the internet and selected 32 papers for analyzing. Results Most papers were described the effect of acupuncture or acupoint-injection. This is more effective way to treat than the general rehabilitation treatment such as the physical therapy, the occupational therapy, and the speech therapy. Acupuncture or acupoint-injection has overall $80{\sim}100%$ of rehabilitation rate. The younger the children were, the longer the treatment period was, and the more successful in treatment. The acupuncture was often used with the general acupuncture and scalp acupuncture. Commonly used major acupuncture points were sishencong(四神聰), bohui(百會), zusanli(足三里), yundongqu(運動區), pinghengqu(平衡區), quchi(曲池), and sanyinjiao(三陰交). Commonly used main meridian pathways were bladder, governor vessel, gallbladder, large intestine, stomach, small intestine meridian. Head is the common site for acupuncture. The main acupoint-injection points were zusanli(足三里), dazhui(大椎), shenshu(腎兪), yamen(啞門), neiguan(內關), and fengchi(風池). For the injection, brain activator, ganglioside M1, cerebroprotein hydrolysate, cytidine diphosphate choline, Vit B1, Vit B12, the salviae root, the safflower were commonly used. Conclusions Acupuncture and acupoint-injection have been shown as an effective treatment on cerebral palsy. The acupuncture was used often the general acupuncture and scalp acupuncture all together. Commonly used main acupuncture points were sishencong, bohui, zusanli, yundongqu, pinghengqu, quchi, sanyinjiao.

  • The purpose of this case is to report the improvement after treatment about a patient with cerebral infarction by Sa-Am's Ohaeng-acupuncture and Liuqi-acupuncture. We treated the patient with acupuncture therapy from 6th September 2004 to 15th November 2004 Dy reinforcing Dadun(LR 1)Zusan Li(5736) Quchi(Li 11) and reducing Taibai(Sp 3) on the basis of etiological analysis and differentiation of endogenous wind caused by damp phlegm and heat. Right hemiplegia improved Gr. 1 to Gr. tV after acupuncture therapy. We interpreted 'reinforcing Dadun(LR 1) and reducing TaiDai(SP 3)'as using Simjeonggyeok in conjunction with Simseunggyeok on the basis of Sa-Am's Ohaeng-acupuncture. We interpreted 'reinforcing Dadun(LR 1) and reducing Taibai(Sp 3)' as excreting dampness in Spleen on the basis of Liuqi-acupuncture. We interpreted 'reinforcing Zusan Li(57 36) and Quchi(Li 11)' as eliminating wind-dampness and menstrual regulation.

  • Objectives : This study was designed to find out whether normal saline(NS) acupuncture is able to be constituted as an appropriate control group for Cervi Cornu Parvum herbal acupuncture(CC). Methods : NS and CC were injected into Quchi($LI_{11}$) of the subjects. The subjects completed a questionnaire rating the intensity of 21 kinds of acupuncture sensation(hurting, penetrating, sharp, aching, intense, spreading, radiating, tingling, pricking, stinging, pulling, heavy, dull, numb, electric, shocking, hot, burning, cool, pulsing, and throbbing) and side effects. We compared subjective evaluations of acupuncture sensation and side effects between two groups. Results : As for CC most of the acupuncture sensation items were not significantly different from NS especially in less acupuncture-experienced subjects(average 2, below 10 time experiences) rather than more acupuncture-experienced subjects(above 10 time experiences). Conclusions : We found that NS might be an appropriate placebo herbal acupuncture for CC in small amount of acupuncture-experienced subjects. Further study is needed for new placebo herbal acupuncture for CC in more acupuncture-experienced subjects.

  • The aim of this review was to determine the status of acupuncture therapies in reducing obesity in obese patients and to determine the scheme and effectiveness of acupuncture therapies. Existing reports published between January 1, 2003 and December 31, 2017 in Kiss, Riss, National Assembly Library, Pubmed and CINAHL databases were searched electronically with the keywords obesity, acupuncture, auricular acupuncture, and electroacupuncture. After checking the original sources of the articles, 19 articles were included in the review. In a qualitative evaluation of the papers using a checklist from the Scottish Intercollegiate Guideline Network, one study scored 9 out of 10 points, 15 studies scored 7-8 out of 10 points, two studies scored 6 out of 10 points, and one study scored 3 out of 10 points. In the acupuncture therapy schemes, acupoints to reduce obesity included shemen, hunger, LI-11 (Quchi), LI-4 (Hegu), St-25 (Tianshu) and St-44 (Neiting). Acupuncture therapies were conducted for an average of 16.9 total sessions. In the studies that involved 20-day or 72-day duration for acupuncture therapies, the frequency of acupuncture therapies was 1 time/1-2 days. In the studies that involved 4- to 18-week duration for acupuncture therapies, the frequency of acupuncture therapies was 1-3 times/week. This study found acupuncture therapies were effective in reducing obesity, and acupuncture therapies reduced anthropometry, blood glucose and lipids and changed blood hormones. In the future, there is an urgent need for well-planned studies of the effectiveness of acupuncture therapies for reducing obesity in obese patients.
