Acupuncture for chronic prostatitis: A randomized controlled trial: 针刺治疗慢性前列腺炎:随机对照研究

ObjectiveTo explore whether there is a specific clinical effect of acupuncture in the treatment of chronic prostatitis.MethodsA total of 52 patients with chronic prostatitis were randomly divided into an acupuncture group (24 cases) and a placebo acupuncture group (28 cases). During the treatment, 1 case was dropped out in the placebo acupuncture group and 51 patients accomplished the clinical trial finally in two groups. In the acupuncture group, Shènshū (肾俞BL23), Zhōngliáo (中髎BL33), Huìyáng (会阳BL35) and Sānyīnjiāo (三阴交SP6) were selected. In the placebo acupuncture group, the non-meridian points located lateral to BL23, BL33, BL35 and SP6 were selected, respectively. The duration of treatment was 8 weeks in each group. In the first 4 weeks of treatment, the treatment was given once every two days, three times weekly. In the last 4 weeks of treatment, the treatment was given once every three days, twice a week. Totally, 20 acupuncture treatments were required in the whole trial. Before treatment, in week 4 and 8 of treatment and in follow-up, National Institutes of Health Chronic Prostatitis Symptom Index (NIH-CPSI) score and the comprehensive effect were evaluated in the two groups successively.ResultsIn week 4 and 8 of treatment, NIH-CPSI score in the acupuncture group was lower than that before treatment, respectively (both P < 0.05). In week 8 of treatment, NIH-CPSI score in the placebo acupuncture group was lower than that before treatment (P < 0.05). NIH-CPSI score in the acupuncture group was lower than the placebo acupuncture group in week 8 of treatment (P < 0.05). In follow-up, NIH-CPSI score of the two groups all decreased as compared with the score before treatment (both P < 0.05), and the score in the acupuncture group was lower than the placebo acupuncture group (P < 0.05). In the comparison of comprehensive effect, the total effective rate was 91.7% in the acupuncture group and was 74.1% in the placebo acupuncture group. The therapeutic effect in the acupuncture group was better than that of the placebo acupuncture group (P < 0.05).ConclusionAcupuncture relieves pelvic pain and urination symptoms and has a certain of long-term effect in patients with chronic prostatitis.

Combining electroacupuncture and transcranial direct current stimulation as an adjuvant therapy enhances spontaneous conversation and naming in subacute vascular aphasia: A retrospective analysis

ObjectiveEmerging evidence shows the effectiveness of speech and language therapy (SLT); however, precise therapeutic parameters remain unclear. Evidence for the use of adjunctive transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to treat post-stroke aphasia (PSA) is promising; however, the utility of combining tDCS and electroacupuncture (EA) has not yet been analyzed. This study assessed the therapeutic consequences of EA and tDCS coupled with SLT in subacute PSA patients who were also undergoing hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT).MethodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on subacute (< 6 months) PSA patients who were divided into three groups: patients who received EA plus tDCS (acupuncture group), patients who underwent tDCS (tDCS group), and patients who experienced conventional therapy (HBOT + SLT). All subjects underwent 21 days of treatment and also received conventional treatment. The aphasia battery of Chinese (ABC) was used to score pre- and post-intervention status.ResultsThe analysis comprised 238 patients. Cerebral infarction was the most frequent stroke type (137 [57.6%]), while motor (66 [27.7%]) and global aphasia (60 [25.2%]) were the most common types of aphasia. After 21 days of intervention, the ABC scores of all patients were improved. The acupuncture group had the highest ABC scores, but only repetition, naming, and spontaneous speech were statistically improved (P < 0.01). Post-hoc tests revealed significant improvement in word retrieval in the acupuncture and tDCS groups (P < 0.01, P = 0.037), while the acupuncture group had additional significant improvement in spontaneous conversation (P < 0.01).ConclusionCombining acupuncture and tDCS as an adjuvant therapy for subacute PSA led to significant spontaneous speech and word retrieval improvements. Future prospective, multi-ethnic, multi-center trials are warranted.
