Evidence and Expert Opinions:Dry Needling versus Acupuncture(Ⅲ)——The American Alliance for Professional Acupuncture Safety(AAPAS) White Paper 2016

Evidence and Expert Opinions: Drying Needling versus Acupuncture(Ⅱ)——The American Alliance for Professional Acupuncture Safety(AAPAS) White Paper 2016

In the United States and other Western countries, dry needling has been a topic in academic and legal fields. This White Paper is to provide the authoritative information of dry needling versus acupuncture to academic scholars, healthcare professionals, administrators, policymakers, and the general public by providing the authoritative evidence and expertise regarding critical issues of dry needling and reaching a consensus. We conclude that Dr. Travell, Dr. Gunn, Dr. Baldry and others who have promoted dry needling by simply rebranding(1) acupuncture as dry needling and(2) acupuncture points as trigger points(dry needling points). Dry needling simply using English biomedical terms(especially using "fascia" hypothesis) in replace of their equivalent Chinese medical terms. Dry needling is an over-simplified version of acupuncture derived from traditional Chinese acupuncture except for emphasis on biomedical language when treating neuromuscularskeletal pain(dry needling promoters redefined it as "myofascial pain"). Trigger points belong to the category of Ashi acupuncture points in traditional Chinese acupuncture, and they are not a new discovery. By applying acupuncture points, dry needling is actually trigger point acupuncture, an invasive therapy(a surgical procedure) instead of manual therapy. Dr. Travell admitted to the general public that dry needling is acupuncture, and acupuncture professionals practice dry needling as acupuncture therapy and there are several criteria in acupuncture profession to locate trigger points as acupuncture points. Among acupuncture schools, dry needling practitioners emphasize acupuncture's local responses while other acupuncturists pay attention to the responses of both local, distal, and whole body responses. For patients' safety, dry needling practitioners should meet standards required for licensed acupuncturists and physicians.     

Evidence and Expert Opinions: Drying Needling versus Acupuncture (Ⅰ)—The American Alliance for Professional Acupuncture Safety (AAPAS) White Paper 2016

In the last twenty years, in the United States and other Western countries, dry needling (DN) became a hot and debatable topic, not only in academic but also in legal fields. This White Paper is to provide the authoritative information of DN versus acupuncture to academic scholars, healthcare professional administrators, lawmakers, and the general public through providing the authoritative evidence and experts' opinions regarding critical issues of DN versus acupuncture, and then reach consensus. DN is the use of dry needles alone, either solid filiform acupuncture needles or hollow-core hypodermic needles, to insert into the body for the treatment of muscle pain and related myofascial pain syndrome. DN is sometimes also known as intramuscular stimulati on, trigger points (TrP) acupuncture, TrP DN, myofascial TrP DN, or biomedical acupuncture. In Western countries, DN is a form of simplified acupuncture using biomedical language in treating myofascial pain, a contemporary development of a portion of Ashi point acupuncture from Chinese acupuncture. It seeks to redefine acupuncture by reframing its theoretical principles in a Western manner. DN-like needling with filiform needles have been widely used in Chinese acupuncture practice over the past 2,000 years, and with hypodermic needles has been used in China in acupuncture practice for at least 72 years. In Eastern countries, such as China, since late of 1800s or earlier, DN is a common name of acupuncture among acupuncturists and the general public, which has a broader scope of indications, not limited to treating the myofascial pain.

针灸治疗相关心脏损伤

Cardiac injury is the most serious adverse event in acupuncture therapy. The causes include needling chest points near the heart, the cardiac enlargement and pericardial effusion that will enlarge the projected area on the body surface and make the proper depth of needling shorter, and the incorrect needling method of the points. Therefore, acupuncture practitioners must be familiar with the points of the heart projected area on the chest and the correct needling methods in order to reduce the risk of acupuncture therapy related cardiac injury.

针灸意外事故的历史与现状

针灸疗法经济简便,应用范围广泛,且安全而无毒副作用.但是,如果医者掌握不当,或者由于患者的某些原因,亦可能发生针灸意外事故.回顾历史,早在先秦时期,<黄帝内经>就提到针灸不当可导致人体损伤乃至死亡,而且从病症、部位、心身、时间等方面就针灸意外事故及其预防作了比较全面系统的介绍;此后历代医家多有论述,并认识到针灸操作技术的精深与否对防止针灸意外事故的发生有着至关重要的意义.从20世纪50年代起,由于针具不断改进、针灸人员素质逐步提高、消毒观念和解剖学知识日益普及,有效地阻止了针灸意外事故的发生.但是,随着针灸技术的不断更新,新的意外亦不断出现,临床中如何加强防范,仍然是放在我们面前的极为艰巨的任务.当今世界140多个国家开展针灸疗法,由针灸不当导致意外损伤日渐增多,虽与不同的文化背景有关,但与国外针灸疗法本身不完善有密切的关系.因此,准确掌握针灸操作方法,严防针灸意外事故的发生已经成为全球值得高度重视的问题.
