Abstract:
Abstract The objective of this study was to analyze the effects of traditional Chinese acupuncture for spinal cord lesions on the mobilization of stem cells. Therefore, 14 healthy study participants were acupunctured and gave blood samples before, immediately after as well as 24 and 48 hours after acupuncture. At these time points, the frequency of CD133, CD34, CD4, CD14, CD19 and CD45 positive cells were determined by flow cytometry. Furthermore, serum concentrations of matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) 8 and 9, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), nerve growth factor (NGF), stroma-derived factor (SDF) 1 and granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. CD133(+)34(−) cells were significantly increased 48 hours after acupuncture (29.1±5.8% versus 11.4±4.8%, p= 0.015), which was paralleled by significant decreases of BDNF (7.5±1 ng/ml versus 10.8±1.6 ng/ml, p= 0.013) and MMP-9 serum levels (46.4±2.6ng/ml versus 42.5±2.4 ng/ml, p= 0.009). Values in non-treated controls were not affected. No changes in SDF-1, NGF, interleukin-6 and G-CSF concentrations occurred. In conclusion, acupuncture does mobilize non-hematopoietic CD133(+) cells.

Abstract:
Acupuncture is an ancient method in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Usually acupuncture needles are inserted into the body to achieve therapeutic effects. However, there are still some challenges to achieve consensuses. What is the essence or anatomy of acupuncture meridians? How does acupuncture work? How to improve acupuncture clinical therapeutic effect? These questions may be addressed by highlighting recent developments in innovative nanotechnology. The aim of this review is to elucidate the possible applications and future potential of nanotechnology in acupuncture. Nanoparticles are promising for imaging and it may gain a better understanding of the essence of meridian. Nanotechnology enables nanochips/nanosensors providing new solutions in detection reactive molecules in vivo and in real time. The connections and changing of these molecules with needle stimulation will allow insight into the mechanisms of acupuncture. Acupuncture combined with nano-TCM could provide a great potential in some type of characteristic acupuncture therapies improvement. By virtue of nanotechnology, the acupuncture needles could be innovated as multifunction toolbox. Acupuncture needles could be considered as a method for controlled drug delivery. The nanoparticulated photothermal, magnetothermal, photodynamic agents could also be filled on the surface of needle.

Abstract:
Auricular acupuncture is a diagnostic and treatment system based on normalizing the body's dysfunction through stimulation of definite points on the ear. Rudimentary forms of acupuncture which probably arose during the Stone Age have survived in many parts of the world right down to present day. It was used in the ancient Egypt, Rome, Greece and all the Mediterranean area. It is a microacupuncture technique similar to reflexology, and was first described in France in 1950 by Paul Nogier who is considered the Father of modern ear acupuncture. It was speculated that the technique works because groups of pluripotent cells contain information from the whole organism and create regional organization centers representing different parts of the body. Nevertheless stimulation of a reflex point in the ear seems relieve symptoms of distant pathologies. Modern research is confirming the efficacy of ear acupuncture for analgesia and anxiety related disease, while tobacco dependence and other substance abuse still need confirmation. Actually main methodological problems with auricular acupuncture are that exist too many maps with little agreement regarding point location in the ear, and that the correspondence or reflex systems does not correlated with modern knowledge of anatomy and physiology.

Abstract:
The process of pulse diagnosis was examined in a sample of 100 patients randomly selected from the author's acupuncture clinic. Patient symptoms, pulses (as utilised in traditional Chinese medicine), diagnostic criteria (as described in traditional Chinese medicine), acupuncture points selected and patient comments after each treatment were coded into a numerical format suitable for stepwise multiple regression and crosstabulation analysis. The analysis indicated that the interpretation of pulse qualities predicted the diagnostic criteria when used in accordance with the theories of acupuncture. The selection of acupuncture points could not be predicted from the diagnostic criteria when using pulse diagnosis. Additionally the analysis indicated that the patient comments after acupuncture were independent of the initial patient symptoms. More research is needed to more fully understand the process of pulse diagnosis. However the analysis does suggest that pulse diagnosis should be incorporated into acupuncture curricula in both traditional acupuncture courses and medical acupuncture courses.

Abstract:
Aim The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of a specific school of acupuncture, Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture (TCMA), as a whole complex intervention, as it operated in a clinic setting, on a wider representation of users and spectrum of diseases than the typical acupuncture user profile, and to explore potential variations in health outcomes. Design and Setting This was a retrospective study that employed a Whole Systems Research (WSR) design that involved outcome evaluation, to determine the efficacy of TCMA, together with process evaluation, to determine patient perceptions of how the intervention worked in practice, with regards to health, wellness, and Quality of Life (QoL). The research focused on a subsidised clinic that was located in a socially deprived area of London. Methods The retrospective study period was February 2007 to March 2008. Scores from Measure Yourself Medical Outcome Profile (MYMOP), an outcome measure used to investigate changes in health outcomes over time, were extracted from individual patient files (N=208) that had fulfilled the inclusion criteria of attendance at six consecutive treatment sessions, delivered from baseline treatment, irrespective of outcome or symptom. MYMOP scores on Symptom, Activity and Wellbeing, that were completed at baseline (treatment 1) follow up (treatment 2), follow up (treatment 3), follow up (treatment 4), follow up (treatment 5) and follow up (treatment 6), were analysed using repeated measures ANOVA to investigate whether a significant difference in QoL, a variable derived from the mean of the nominated MYMOP scores, existed between baseline treatment and outcome for patients over the six week treatment period; statistical analysis was also completed to explore variations in treatment outcomes in relation to patient’s socio-demographic characteristics, age, gender, ethnicity and social grade, and the wide range of health conditions reflected in the sample. Written patient commentaries (N=117), concerning experiences of TCMA, that were provided on patient discharge forms were extracted and analysed using Thematic Analysis. Results Significant differences were found in the direction of better reported MYMOP Symptom, Activity and Wellbeing scores following TCMA treatments and a significant difference in QoL was found between baseline assessment and outcome for TCMA patients over the 6-week course of treatment. Statistical analysis produced no evidence that the perceived benefits of TCMA treatment were associated with patients’ gender, age, ethnicity, social class, or presenting condition; no evidence was found that either demographics or presenting condition operated as outcome modifiers. Thematic analysis resulted in the identification of five themes which together provided insight into, and a way of understanding, both the outcomes and the processes that operated within TCMA. Conclusion Findings from the present study show that TCMA delivered perceived global and multidimensional beneficial changes in health, wellbeing and QoL; furthermore, the perceived positive treatment outcomes, which were unrelated to illness type or severity at the time of initial treatment, were consistent across socio-demographic subgroups and a wide spectrum of challenging cases of both physical and mental pathology. The study’s findings are important because they have advanced understanding of TCMA treatment efficacy and the workings of this particular style of acupuncture (TCMA) in terms of health, wellness and QoL.

Abstract:
Background Traditional medication therapy and psychotherapy are commonly used for treatment drug abstinence syndrome. Because of the side effects of traditional medication therapy (MT), acupuncture therapy (AT) is under investigation for treating abstinence syndrome, particularly for heroin detoxification. This project aims to review different randomised clinical trials (RCTs) of heroin detoxification treatment by acupuncture, and retrieve relevant data so that appropriate suggestions can be made to the Narcotics Division (ND), the Department of Health (DH), non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and related local public health institutes for the anti-drug services of heroin and opioid drugs. Methods A systematic review was conducted using PubMed and Google Scholar to retrieve 13 relevant articles of randomised clinical trials (RCTs) in English and Chinese conducted from 2000 to 2014. These RCTs contained data of heroin-dependent patients, details of assessment of abstinence syndrome and treatments; and comparison of efficacy of AT with MT, such as side effects, severity and relapse of heroin abstinence in physical and psychological aspects. Results 13 articles were included. All treatments were conducted in clinics or hospitals. Different intervention strategies were included, comparing AT with MT, AT plus MT with MT alone, AT with no treatment as well as true AT with superficial AT. All trials have reported better therapeutic effects in the heroin abusers with AT, regardless the use of medication, age and sex. Improved treatment effects were demonstrated in reducing psychological effect of heroin abstinence, such as anxiety and depression, sleep quality, relapse and heroin craving. Also, improved treatment of physical effects of abstinence was shown by increasing body weight, improved liver and kidney functions, improved immunity and lower adverse effects than conventional MT. No adverse effect was reported in 3 trials (23%) or mentioned in 9 trials (69%), mild adverse effects was reported in 1 trial. Conclusions ND, DH, NGOs and other local public health institutes should conduct further studies in Hong Kong to obtain primary local data of the therapeutical effects of AT, and implement AT as an adjunct to the traditional MT and psychotherapy for treating heroin abstinence syndrome due to it high efficacy, safety and low side effects.

Abstract:
Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento CientÃfico e TecnolÃgico
A dor à uma das principais causas do sofrimento humano, aflige a humanidade desde o inicio de sua existÃncia e, independentemente de seu carÃter agudo ou crÃnico, desencadeia no homem alteraÃÃes nos padrÃes de sono, apetite e libido, irritabilidade, diminuiÃÃo da capacidade de concentraÃÃo, alÃm de dificuldades em atividades familiares, profissionais e sociais. A fibromialgia (FB) à uma sÃndrome musculoesquelÃtica crÃnica caracterizada por dor generalizada, de etiologia ainda nÃo completamente esclarecida, que ocorre predominantemente em indivÃduos de cor branca, afetando 2,5% da populaÃÃo brasileira, com maior incidÃncia no sexo feminino, na fase produtiva (antes dos 50 anos de idade), podendo tambÃm afetar crianÃas e idosos. Na ausÃncia de marcadores especÃficos, o diagnÃstico da FB à baseado em achados clÃnicos conforme critÃrios estabelecidos pelo American College of Rheumatology: dor generalizada presente no esqueleto axial e em ambos os hemicorpos, acima e abaixo da cintura, presenÃa de 11 ou mais dos18 tender points e dor crÃnica por mais de 3 meses. O tratamento da FB tem como objetivo reduzir a dor e os sintomas associados e melhorar a qualidade de vida. Antidepressivos associados a tratamentos nÃo farmacolÃgicos incluindo exercÃcios aerÃbicos de baixo impacto, alongamentos, programas de fortalecimento ou relaxamento muscular, reabilitaÃÃo e fisioterapia tÃm sido usados com resultados nem sempre satisfatÃrios. Outras terapias sÃo recomendadas, como balneoterapia, termoterapia, terapia magnÃtica, homeopatia, manipulaÃÃo manual, dietoterapia, musicoterapia e acupuntura, pelos seus efeitos auto-reguladores, analgÃsicos e antiinflamatÃrios. Na busca de outras opÃÃes terapÃuticas, este estudo objetiva avaliar os efeitos da acupuntura, da eletro- acupuntura e da moxabustÃo sobre a dor e a qualidade de vida em mulheres fibromiÃlgicas. Participaram do estudo 30 mulheres com idades entre 20 e 60 anos (mÃdia 46,90Â9,24), selecionadas segundo critÃrios prÃ-definidos, portadoras de fibromialgia, que apresentavam dor de intensidade moderada a grave (Algometria de Fischer <4kg/cm2). As pacientes foram distribuÃdas aleatoriamente em trÃs grupos (n=10) e tratadas com acupuntura (AC) [G-1], eletroacupuntura (EAC) [G-2] e moxabustÃo (MX) [G-3], durante 8 semanas (sessÃes semanais). Agulhas de aÃo inoxidÃvel foram inseridas em acupontos especÃficos bilateralmente (Neiguan/PC-6, Hegu/IG-4, Yanglingquan/VB-34, Sanyinjiao/BP-6 e Taichong/F-3) em todas as pacientes e retidas por 30 minutos. Adicionalmente, foram aplicadas a EAC (G-2) ou a MX (G-3) durante 30 minutos. Para avaliaÃÃo da intensidade da dor foram utilizados o questionÃrio McGill, a Escala de Faces de Wong-Baker e o AlgÃmetro de Fischer. A qualidade de vida foi avaliada utilizando o questionÃrio The Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), traduzido, adaptado e validado para a lÃngua portuguesa em 1999. Os dados foram tabulados utilizando-se o software Excel para Windows 2007 da Microsoft Corporation (U.S.A.) e analisados pelo programa de anÃlise estatÃstica GraphPad Prism v.5.00 (GraphPad Software, San Diego, CalifÃrnia, U.S.A). Os resultados mostram que nenhum dos trÃs mÃtodos de tratamento utilizados no estudo (AC, EAC, MX) promove reduÃÃo da dor em mulheres fibromiÃlgicas, apÃs 8 semanas de tratamento. Por outro lado, tanto a EAC como a MX melhoram a saÃde mental; a AC promove a melhora da vitalidade nessas pacientes.
Pain is one of the major causes of human suffering, afflicted humanity since the beginning of its existence and, regardless of its acute or chronic character, triggers in man changes in sleep patterns, appetite and libido, irritability, decreased ability to concentrate, in addition to difficulties in family, professional and social activities. Fibromyalgia (FB) is a syndrome characterized by chronic widespread musculoskeletal pain, etiology not yet fully clarified, that occurs predominantly in white individuals, affecting 2.5% of the Brazilian population, with higher incidence in females, in the productive phase (before 50 years of age), and may also affect children and the elderly. In the absence of specific markers, the diagnosis of FB is based on clinical findings according to criteria established by the American College of Rheumatology: widespread pain present in the axial skeleton and in both hemibodies, above and below the waist, presence of 11 or more of the 18 tender points and chronic pain for more than 3 months. FB treatment aims to reduce pain and associated symptoms and improve quality of life. Antidepressants associated with non-pharmacological treatments including low impact aerobic, stretching, strengthening programs, or muscle relaxation, rehabilitation and physical therapy have been used with results not always satisfactory. Other therapies such as balneotherapy, thermotherapy, magnetic therapy, homeopathy, manual handling, dietotherapy, music therapy and acupuncture are recommended for its self-regulatory, analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. In search of other therapeutic options, this study aims to evaluate the effects of acupuncture, electroacupuncture and moxibu stion on the pain and quality of life in fibromyalgic women. Thirty women aged between 20 and 60 years (mean age 46.90Â9.24), selected according to predefined criteria, with FB, who had pain of moderate to severe intensity (<4kg/cm2) were included in the study. The patients were randomized, distributed in three groups (n=10) and treated with acupuncture (AC) [G-1], electroacupuncture (EAC) [G-2] and moxibustion (MX) [G-3], during 8 weeks (weekly sessions). Stainless steel needles were inserted into specific acupoints bilaterally (Neiguan/PC-6, Hegu/G-4, Yanglingquan/VB-34, Sanyinjiao/BP-6 and Taichong/F-3) in all patients, and retained for 30 minutes. Additionally, EAC (G-2) or MX (G-3) were applied during 30 minutes. To evaluate the intensity of the pain the McGill questionnaire, the Wong-Baker Faces Scale and the Fischer Algometer device were used. The quality of life was assessed using the questionnaire The Medical Outcomes Study 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36), translated, adapted and validated for the Portuguese language in 1999.The data was tabulated using the Excel 2007 software for Windows  from Microsoft Corporation (U.S.A). GraphPad Prism  v. 5.00 (GraphPad Software, San Diego, California, U.S.A) program was used for statistical analysis. The results show that none of the three treatment methods used in the study (AC, EAC, MX) promotes reduction of pain in fibromyalgic women, after 8 weeks of treatment. However, both EAC as MX treatments improve the mental health. Additionally, the AC improves vitality in these patients.

Abstract:
Background: Pain associated with the spine (PAWS) refers to pain in the neck, thorax, lower back or sacrum. It impacts on patients' Quality of Life (QoL), including working ability, daily functioning, sleep and psychological well-being. A number of clinical trials have demonstrated that acupuncture was beneficial for patients with PAWS. However the overall effect of acupuncture on these patients' QoL is unknown. Aims: The current study aimed to conduct a systematic review (SR) of clinical trials to determine the effect of acupuncture on QoL and pain for patients with PAWS. In addition, a narrative review (NR) was conducted to compare patients' perceived changes (PCC) with the standard QoL instruments used in acupuncture clinical trials for pain. Methods: For the SR, PubMed, Embase (via ScienceDirect), CINAHL (Via EBSCO) and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched. Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of acupuncture for PAWS condition(s) that include both QoL and pain assessments with a Jadad score of three or greater were included. For the NR, PubMed was searched to identify studies reporting PPC after acupuncture and/or traditional Chinese medicine. Extracted data were grouped and compared with domains of the QoL instruments. Results: In total, 21 RCTs were included and 17 of them had sufficient data for analysis. QoL was measured using 15 different instruments. Randomisation procedures and dropouts were adequately reported in all 17 studies. Four studies compared acupuncture with wait-list or usual-care. Two demonstrated that acupuncture had a superior effect on improving physical and mental components of QoL measured by Short Form-36 health survey questionnaire and pain at the three month follow-up. Studies comparing acupuncture with sham/placebo acupuncture or placebo-TENS found either no difference between the treatments or conflicting results. When acupuncture was compared with active interventions, there was no difference except that at the intermediate-term follow-up massage was better for disability and pain and physiotherapy was better for Northwick Park Neck Pain Questionnaire. Acupuncture was also better than TENS for pain. The combined therapy of acupuncture and an active intervention showed a superior result than the latter alone in the short-term. Six studies were identified for the NR. Patients reported 11 categories of changes after acupuncture, such as reduced reliance on other therapies, enhanced spirituality, prevention of disease. However, these clinical outcomes were not included in any of the QoL instruments used in the included RCTs. Conclusion: There is moderate to strong evidence that acupuncture is more effective than wait-list or usual-care at the short-term follow-up in improving QoL of patients with PAWS. When acupuncture is combined with another therapy, the combined therapy seems to produce a better outcome. Acupuncture is not better than sham/placebo acupuncture or placebo-TENS. Surprisingly, the commonly used QoL instruments do not measure all the changes perceived by patients as a result of acupuncture and/or traditional Chinese medicine. There is a pressing need to design QoL assessments that are suitable for acupuncture research. Further studies should have larger sample sizes and additional validated outcome assessments are required to detect effects of acupuncture.

Abstract:
Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Medicina Veterinária
A Medicina Tradicional Chinesa (MTC) é uma corrente da prática de Medicina, tanto na saúde humana, como na saúde animal, que trata do diagnóstico, tratamento e prevenção das doenças. Esta corrente filosófica aborda e incorpora a experiência do povo chinês na sua longa luta contra a doença. Caracteriza-se essencialmente pela sua interpretação das funções fisiológicas e alterações patológicas, pelas suas técnicas de diagnóstico específicas e pelos seus princípios terapêuticos próprios. Desta abordagem médica, fazem parte inúmeras técnicas, nomeadamente a Fitoterapia, a Massagem Tui Na, a Dietética, o Qi Qong e a Acupunctura, a única destas técnicas abordada neste trabalho. Além da referida Acupunctura, outras técnicas como a Quiropráctica e a Homeopatia são consideradas como pertencentes à Medicina Integrada, uma corrente holística com difusão a nível global, apesar de todas as dificuldades e obstáculos que surgem na conciliação de algumas das suas técnicas e a Medicina dita convencional, baseada na evidência. Actualmente, o número de estudos científicos relativos aos métodos que abrange é imenso, visando explicar os seus mecanismos de funcionamento, embora alguns permaneçam por esclarecer. A clínica de equinos, em particular equinos de desporto, recai, frequentemente, sobre problemas ortopédicos, com especial destaque para claudicações e problemas vertebrais; alterações e/ou desvios comportamentais, os quais se reflectem nos resultados obtidos em provas; e problemas de performance e/ou vontade dos proprietários de explorarem ao máximo as potencialidades dos seus animais, visando retirar um desempenho o mais exímio possível. Apesar das inúmeras abordagens possíveis a qualquer alteração ortopédica em curso e das infinitas moléculas às quais se pode recorrer para exponenciar a performance do atleta de quatro patas, estas opções e decisões geralmente acarretam grandes desvantagens, as quais se prendem, essencialmente com os efeitos secundários nefastos das moléculas utilizadas, além dos custos elevados aos quais estão associadas. Em acréscimo, a abordagem alopática não contempla o perfil comportamental do equino, pelo que desvios e/ou problemas comportamentais e de stress não são passíveis de serem resolvidos à luz da medicina ocidental, mas encontrando soluções quando se opta por uma abordagem segundo as Medicinas Complementares e integradas. Apesar da controvérsia gerada em torno da Homeopatia, em particular, e do reduzido número de estudos relativos a doenças específicas em equinos, tratadas com Acupunctura e Quiropráctica, os estudos e resultados obtidos em humanos são muito positivos e satisfatórios, pelo que será seguro afirmar-se que a Medicina Complementar ou Integrada oferece abordagens terapêuticas e de diagnóstico seguras como complemento na prática clínica de equinos. Apesar de uma amostra reduzida, com poucos casos clínicos, e das limitações em termos do acompanhamento da evolução de cada caso apresentado, por razões logísticas e de sigilo profissional, além dos custos inerentes, observou-se uma evolução positiva sempre que se recorreu à aplicação e utilização de técnicas da Medicina Complementar, tanto na aceitação dos proprietários, como na aceitação dos próprios animais e na evolução/recuperação da doença em curso. Tais resultados apontam para uma necessidade de estudos mais completos sobre estas técnicas em equinos, reunindo uma amostra mais significativa, grupo de controlo, avaliação cega e maior tempo de tratamento, para ser possível avaliar a fundo a eficácia de cada uma das técnicas, em animais num mesmo ambiente e com a mesma doença. Ao longo do estágio, a aplicação destas técnicas mesmo em animais com um carácter mais difícil ou menos tolerantes na manipulação com bons resultados de aceitação permitiu concluir que, apesar da irascibilidade de alguns temperamentos dos pacientes abordados, os tratamentos foram perfeitamente aceites. Desta forma, parece ser indicador de que, em animais de temperamento mais dócil, este tipo de abordagem seja aceite ainda com maior facilidade.
ABSTRACT - The Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a type of practical approach of Medicine, both in human health and in animal health which refers to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases. This philosophical approach incorporates the experience of the Chinese people in their long struggle against the disease. It’s characterized primarily by its interpretation of physiological functions and pathological changes, by their specific diagnostic techniques and therapeutic principles. This medical approach is a universe of techniques including herbal medicine, Tui Na massage, special Diet, Qi Qong and Acupuncture the only technique discussed in the present paper. In addition to Acupuncture other techniques such as Chiropractic and Homeopathy are considered as belonging to the Integrated Medicine, a holistic approach spread worldwide in spite of all difficulties and obstacles when combining some of its techniques with the Eastern evidence-based Medicine. In present times, the number of scientific studies regarding the methods used in TCM is very high … even though some remain unexplained. Equine practice, particularly sport horses, relies essentially on orthopedic problems, mainly lameness and vertebral pathologies; behavioral pathologies and/or deviations that influence the results obtained in competitions; and performance issues and/or the need for the owners to explore their horse’s potential to the maximum hoping to obtain the best results. There are several different ways of approaching an orthopedic pathology and an infinite number of molecules that can be used to enhance the four-legged athlete performance. However, these options and decisions often come with a cost and many great disadvantages associated essentially with the secondary and undesirable effects that may develop due to its usage. In addition, the allopathic approach does not take into consideration the behavioral profile of the horse, hence behavioral pathologies and/or deviations and stress are not taken into account or able to be solved in light of Eastern Medicine. Nevertheless, when undertaken by the TCM approach solutions can be found. Even though Homeopathy generates much controversy, and there are few studies regarding specific pathologies in equine practice treated with Acupuncture and Quiropractics, the studies and results obtained in humans are very positive and satisfactory. Thus it is possible to say that TCM offers safe therapeutic and diagnostic complementary in the equine practice. In spite of the reduced population sample, with few clinical trials and case studies, and the limitations in the follow-up of each case study a positive evolution was evident every time TCM was used. There was also an increase and evident owner’s and horse’s acceptance. Such results point towards the necessity of more complete studies regarding these techniques in equine practice, gathering a more significant population sample, control group, blind trials and a wider period of time in order to be possible to make a deep assessment of the real efficacy of each of the techniques in a constant environment and with the same pathology. During this training period the application of these techniques, even in animals with a more complicated temperament or less tolerant to manipulation, obtained good results acceptance and led to the conclusion that in spite of the difficult temperament the patients the treatments were perfectly accepted. This suggests that in animals with a softer temper this approach would be even better accepted.

Abstract:
Acupuncture is an increasingly popular complementary therapy. Acupuncture research, however, leaves uncertainty as to its effectiveness and raises question about what traditional acupuncture (TA) is. This thesis aims to examine what acupuncture is, by using the Theory of Change (ToC) as a novel approach to elucidate the pathways for change. Early breast cancer (EBC) is used as a complex exemplar providing the TA practitioner with the opportunity to utilise TA in all of its complexity. A ToC framework was developed from the professional accrediting body of TA. This ToC framework was applied to two sets of literature: firstly acupuncture research where validated outcome measures were used; secondly research on the exploration of practitioner and patients’ perceptions of TA. A longitudinal study was constructed to examine change over time during the EBC experience. This study entailed interviewing 14 women before, during and after chemotherapy while they received up to ten sessions of TA. The two practitioners were also interviewed; they kept diaries and treatment logs of the process creating additional data. Grounded theory methods were used to analyse the data. The ToC was refined after analysis of all the data to provide a comprehensive insight into the components of TA providing further weight to the idea that it is a complex intervention. Treatment entails a continuous process with multiple pathways to change. TA offers great flexibility in addressing chronic illness with acute features or daily fluctuations of a range of problems. The concept of outcome patterns arose from this which is ripe for further exploration. The therapeutic relationship is part of the intervention, used to engage the individual with new insights into health and changing behaviour as well as to enable disclosure leading to person-centred goals of treatment. Therapeutic befriending emerged as a notion suitable for further exploration within CAM.

Abstract:
Traditional acupuncture therapy involves inserting needles at acupuncture points across the body and twisting them, which winds soft tissues around the acupuncture needle. In order to better understand this phenomenon Julias et al [1, 2] conducted in vitro acupuncture needling on collagen gels as a soft tissue analog. Using polarized light microscopy (PLM) (Fig. 1) they observed changes in collagen alignment and measured the torque developed on the needle during twisting. While these results are insightful, what remains unknown are the forces transmitted to the tissue surrounding the acupuncture point via the needle. Computational modeling allows us to calculate these forces, which could never be measured experimentally.

Abstract:
Acupuncture is a centuries-old traditional therapy that is used to treat a litany of diseases and conditions. Acupuncture is performed by inserting fine needles into specific locations defined in ancient times — acupressure is similarly applied at these points by tissue palpation without needle insertion. Manipulating these acupuncture points is believed to regulate the flow of energy or ‘qi’ through acupuncture meridians to produce specific, far-reaching results. Though no scientific correlate to ‘qi’ has been identified, acupuncture has indeed been demonstrated to be clinically effective for nausea [1] and osteoarthritic pain [2], and suggested for addiction, stroke rehabilitation, headache, menstrual cramps, tennis elbow, fibromyalgia, myofascial pain, low back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and asthma [1]. Despite this evidence, no scientific basis for the location of acupuncture points has been found.

Abstract:
Acupuncture is a traditional therapy originating in China almost 2000 years ago. Acupuncture has slowly been growing in popularity in the West, and clinical evidence has shown the potential for acupuncture as a low-cost ‘alternative’ therapy for an assortment of ailments [1]. The practice of acupuncture involves inserting fine needles into the skin followed by needle manipulation, usually by rotation. Recent studies by Langevin et al demonstrate that this rotation causes the subcutaneous connective tissue to couple to and wind around the needle [2–4], which suggests that mechanotransduction in the connective tissue might play a role in the therapeutic mechanisms that underlay acupuncture [2, 3]. To begin to decompose and quantify this complex mechanism at the tissue level in a controlled setting, we have simulated acupuncture in type I collagen gels in vitro, and have developed algorithms to quantify the tissue response following imaging with polarized light microscopy (PLM).

Abstract:
In traditional acupuncture, fine needles are inserted and rotated at defined points that correspond to specific therapeutic effects, which can occur locally or at a distance from the needling point. The majority of acupuncture points co-align with fascial planes under the skin, which present more subcutaneous loose connective tissue [1] (Fig 1 – black dot). Needle rotation induces this connective tissue specifically to couple to and wind around the needle, forming a whorl of alignment and generating measurable force on the needle that is significantly higher at fascial planes in comparison to insertion above a muscle (Fig 1A – black dot) [2, 3]. At these planes, the loose connective tissue is bounded on two sides by skeletal muscle and generally becomes narrower with increasing depth, presenting distinct geometry and boundary conditions compared to locations above a muscle, which resembles an infinite plane (Fig 1B&C).
