How does A cupuncture
Therapy Work of
increased circulation?
Ev ery one knows of acupuncture, but do y ou know that acupuncture also helps in reducing
pain after Cesarean surgeries. This has been shown through a research. People from
Kaohsiung Medical Univ ersity in Taiwan assigned six ty women who underwent the aforesaid
surgery and also underwent the method of acupuncture or electro-acupuncture. This study
was published in the Chinese Medical Journal in the y ear 2009. It has been reported that
women who used acupuncture had lower amount of pain in two hours post the surgery . They
also requested morphine for an av erage of 1 0 minutes and also used 30 to 35 per cent less of
it within 24 hours of surgery .
What Kinds of Diagnostic
Testing are Performed?
The therapy consists of the practice of inserting thin needles inside the body locations of an
indiv idual. Now the effectiv eness of acupuncture in treating health conditions especially
pain is being studied by a body of scientific research. Earlier there was a study conducted by
researchers at the Duke Univ ersity and was presented at 2008 conference of the A merican
Society for A nesthesiology that included use of the therapy either before the surgery or
after the surgery . It was found out acupuncture led to lower lev els of pain and pain killers.
Less use of such pain killers also meant less side effects. Patients who did not receiv e the
treatment were more likely to get nausea, dizziness and 3.5 times more likely to hav e
urinary problems.
For all kinds of pain, acupuncture in Vancouv er was found to be effectiv e. Through a
study conducted by A rchiv es of Internal Medicine in the y ear 2008, it was found that 1 1 62
adults with back pain were randomly assigned to be treated with traditional acupuncture
and sham acupuncture. Sham acupuncture is the process in which needles were not giv en
into the meridians inside the body .
Researchers also found that mere 27 per cent of participants reported a minimum decrease
of 33 per cent along with an improv ement in their ability to function.
A nother analy sis published in A rchiv es of Internal Medicine in the y ear 201 2 rev iewed the
information pertaining to 1 8000 people who hav e earlier suffered from chronic pain due to
arthritis, headaches, neck along with shoulder and back pain. A ll the participants hav e been
assigned either to acupuncture or to sham acupuncture.
Research such as this has led researchers to think that acupuncture’s pain reliev ing benefit
comes from a placebo effect. Researcher A ndrew A v ins from the Univ ersity of California
states why the therapy works is not as important as the fact that the therapy does work. He
also suggested in writing in the A rchiv es of internal Medicine in the y ear 201 2 that scientific
proof supports, prov iding all patients with acupuncture who suffer from pain.
