- Acupuncture is a technique of inserting and manipulating fine filiform needles into specific points on the body to relieve pain or for therapeutic purposes.[3] The word acupuncture comes from the Latin acus, "needle", and pungere, "to prick". In Standard Mandarin, 針砭 (zhēn biān) (a related word, 針灸 (zhēn jiǔ), refers to acupuncture together with moxibustion).[4] According to traditional Chinese medical theory, acupuncture points are situated on meridians along which qi, the vital energy, flows. There is no known anatomical or histological basis for the existence of acupuncture points or meridians.[5][6] Modern acupuncture texts present them as ideas that are useful in clinical practice.[7][8] According to the NIH consensus statement on acupuncture, these traditional Chinese medical concepts "are difficult to reconcile with contemporary biomedical information but continue to play an important role in the evaluation of patients and the formulation of treatment in acupuncture."[6] The earliest written record that is available about acupuncture is Huangdi Neijing (黃帝內經 or Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon), which suggests acupuncture originated in China and would explain why it is most commonly associated with traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).[9] Different types of acupuncture (Classical Chinese, Japanese, Tibetan, Vietnamese and Korean acupuncture) are practiced and taught throughout the world. Acupuncture has been the subject of active scientific research since the late 20th century[10] but it remains controversial among Western medical researchers and clinicians.[10] Due to the invasive nature of acupuncture treatments, it is difficult to create studies that use proper scientific controls.[6][10][11][12][13]:126 Some scholarly reviews have concluded that the effectiveness of acupuncture as a treatment can be explained primarily through the placebo effect,[14][15] while other studies have suggested some efficacy in the treatment of specific conditions.[10][16][17] The World Health Organization published a review of controlled trials using acupuncture and concluded it was effective for the treatment of 28 conditions and there was evidence to suggest it may be effective for several dozen more.[18] Additionally, the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the American Medical Association (AMA) and various government reports have studied and commented on the efficacy (or lack thereof) of acupuncture. There is general agreement that acupuncture is safe when administered by well-trained practitioners using sterile needles, and that further research is appropriate.[6][19][20][21] Acupuncture has been used as an alternative therapy for depression
- Acupuncture was an advanced non-magical form of medicine. Its use could provide relief or healing from injury and illness, and skilled practicioners could even reverse the effects of many poisons. The practice involved the insertion of needles into "acupuncture points" on the patient's body by a trained practitioner. The needles most commonly used were made of steel and were approximately .01 to .02 inches in diameter. Its use was pioneered by the Phoenix Clan as they learned about the flow of energies in the human body.
- Acupuncture first shows up in Korea during the Chinese Han Dynasty, when the book Huang Di Nei Jing (Medical Classic of the Yellow Emperor) achieved circulation some 2000 years ago. Initial tools used at this time were stone 'needles,' evidence of which has been uncovered by archaeologists. During the Silla Dynasty, Korean acupuncture techniques became known in Japan. Specifically, in the 9th year of King Seon Duk, a Japanese man named Ki Ha Byun Nam Ma is said to have studied acupuncture in Silla before returning to Japan to disseminate his knowledge. During the Geryeo Dynasty, acupuncture was part of the civil service examination. Therefore all students of Confucianism had to learn acupuncture, either from travel to Nanjing, or through study of the Neijing. During the Joseon Dynasty, acupuncture achieved a new height of popularity. Heo Jun, Royal Court Physician to King Seonjo of the Joseon Dynasty authored the Dongeui Bogam, widely considered to be the defining text of traditional Korean medicine. This was significant because it was written in Hangul, and was therefore accessible to commoners. Heo Jun discovered and wrote about many herbal medicines in this work, which resulted in a significant increase in the general health of the peasantry. Acupuncture gave rise to the Meridian concept, the practice of taking pulse as a diagnostic method, and of course the discovered of acupoints for treatment. Acupuncture, one of the Oriental medical therapeutic techniques that can be traced back at least 2500 years, is growing in popularity all over the world. Korea has continued to develop its own unique tradition of medicine throughout its long history, and has formed different types of acupuncture methods. The purpose of this review is to summarize clinical case studies in acupuncture and related therapies, such as acupressure, electric acupuncture, auricular acupuncture and moxibustion in Korea. A survey of Korean journals revealed that a total of 124 studies were published from 1983 to 2001. Results obtained from the survey showed that most clinical studies using acupuncture, electric acupuncture, moxibustion and other traditional therapies could alleviate a relatively broad range of medical problems. However, it should be emphasized that almost all clinical case studies published in various local journals did not follow the ‘good clinical practice’ with respect to regulatory aspects. Since they were not conducted using the randomized double-blinded controls with a large sample size, all the results should be considered as therapeutic indications. This review is an attempt to show the scope of acupuncture in our country and the kind of diseases, after many years of clinical experience, that were deemed valid targets for clinical trials. Clinical studies of acupuncture treatment in Korea, based on reports in the Evidence-based Complementary and Alternative Medicine journal, published by the Oxford University Press, demonstrate the effectiveness of acupuncture, electric acupuncture, moxibustion, and auricular acupuncture in the following areas:
* Headache
* facial pain (temporomandibular joint disease)
* Cervical pain
* Shoulder pain
* Lower Back Pain
* Knee Joint Pain
* Other Painful Diseases
* Acute Gout
* Tennis Elbow
* Arthritis
* Ankle Sprain
* Postthoracotomy pain
* Stroke
* Poststroke Diseases
* Facial Palsy
* Eye Disease (Opthalopathy)
* Nose Disease (Rhinopathy)
* Ear Disease (Otopathy)
* Skin Disease (Dermatology)
* Hypertension
* Nausea and Vomiting
* Obstetrics and Gynecology
* Peripheral blood circulation disturbance
* Impotence One interesting study of the change of hormone and energy metabolism during weight control of Taekwondo players showed auricular acupuncture effective at increasing levels of Na+, cortisol, and epinephrine, while also decreasing levels of lectin, which produces ob-gene. These clinical trials demonstrated repeatedly the effectiveness of acupuncture in affecting cerebral blood flow, mean blood flow velocity, systolic blood flow velocity, pulsatility index, blood pressure, and surface skin temperatures.
- Acupuncture is a form of alternative medicine consisting of the insertion of thin solid needles at specific points in the patient's body. The practice dates back to at least the 2nd century BCE in China. Although some clinical trials have indicated the practice can have some effect on pain and nausea, modern medicine rejects the practice as having no scientific basis, although the majority physicans are of the opinion that it is useful to treat many types of chronic pain. Many of the clinical trials appear to have had insufficient controls, meaning that the positive results may have been due to random chance and not because of any clinical benefit. However, there is agreement that the treatment, when performed by an experienced practitioner with sterile needles, poses no adverse health risks. Regulation of acupuncture is very inconsistent. Only a few jurisdictions in North America have any type of licensing scheme for acupuncture practitioners. Insurance coverage is similarly inconsistent with about half of plans covering the procedure.
