A bibliometric of research trends in acupuncture for spinal cord injury: Quantitative and qualitative analyses
2022 Sep 15 Frontiers in Neurology Huang Y, He K, Fang D, Ni F, Qiu B, Liang K, et al.
The findings suggest that research on acupuncture for SCI is still flourishing, and more research on electroacupuncture for promoting nerve repair and regeneration after SCI will be available in the future.

Acupuncture combined with nerve repair significantly enhances the recovery rate in patients with peripheral facial paralysis by aiding nerve regeneration.
2022 Frontiers in Pharmacology Electron Microscope Observation of Acupuncture and Nerve Repair in the Treatment of Peripheral Facial Paralysis Zhenggen Shan
The research applied traditional acupuncture therapy in conjunction with nerve repair in treating peripheral facial paralysis. Examination via a microscope revealed the extent of the clinical effectiveness of combined nerve repair and acupuncture during the acute stage of the facial paralysis. Following the artificial nerve repair procedure performed 21 days prior, the nerve injury demonstrated varying levels of recovery. Furthermore, the myelin sheath, an insulating layer that forms around nerves, was found to be gradually developing and encompassing the new nerve fibers.
The study found the inflammation that naturally occurs when treating nerve defects to be an inevitable process. However, moderate acupuncture was found to significantly aid and promote the repair of peripheral nerve defects. This research revealed that the combination of acupuncture and nerve repair led to outstanding improvements in the treatment of peripheral facial paralysis. The study showed that this combined treatment significantly increased the patient recovery rate. This new treatment technology was found to be simple, safe, effective, and presents a valuable enhancement to the existing treatment plans for peripheral facial paralysis.

Randomised Controlled Trial Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
The conducted research involved treating 26 confirmed Carpal Tunnel Syndrome patients using acupuncture and electroacupuncture. These patients were divided into two treatment groups based on a neurophysiological grading scale. Fifteen patients were treated with acupuncture and eleven with electroacupuncture, which was administered on both upper limbs at acupoints PC-7 (Daling) and PC-6 (Neiguan) along the pericardial meridian. Each patient underwent a total of 24 treatment sessions lasting 15 minutes each, spread over a period of six weeks.
Evaluation of the results saw improvements in symptom severity after the electroacupuncture treatments. This was based on the short clinical questionnaire by Lo and Chiang, an evaluation method used to gauge symptom severity. Post acupuncture treatment, the patients reported a significant increase in grip strength, particularly on the side more affected by Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The electrophysiology evaluation also saw a significant improvement in the motor amplitude of the palm-wrist segment. There was also a notable decrease in Tinel's sign on the side more affected by symptoms. This points to both acupuncture and electroacupuncture having clear therapeutic benefits for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome patients.
Review Articles
Review articles summarise and critically evaluate the current state of research on a specific topic or field by synthesising multiple primary research studies.
Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are research studies that involve people and are conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of new treatments or interventions, such as drugs, medical devices, or behavioural therapies.
Study Protocols
Published study protocols are detailed plans that outline the objectives, methodology, statistical analyses, and organisation of a research study that have been made publicly available for others to review and use as a reference.
