Transcutaneous Electroacupuncturefor Gastroparesis

Gastrointestinal (GI) dysmotility is common in GI motility disorders, such as functional dyspepsia (FD) gastroparesis and chronic constipation. The symptoms of GI dysmotility include abdominal discomfort or pain, early satiety, nausea, vomiting, abdominal distension, bloating, anorexia and reduced bowel movement. . Medical treatment for GI motility disorders is very limited in the US. Acupuncture has frequently been used for treatment of GI ailments in Eastern countries. The most commonly used acupuncture points (acupoints) for focused treatment of GI symptoms are the Neiguan (PC6) and the Zusanli (ST36) points. Electroacupuncture (EA) at PC6 and ST36 has been reported to accelerate gastrointestinal motility in both animals and human. Recently, the investigators have studied the feasibility of transcutaneous electroacupuncture (TEA): electrical stimulation is applied to acupoints via surface electrodes without needles, similar to the commercial available transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) but applied to acupoints. The investigators hypothesize that TEA as a new treatment option, improves GI symptoms in patients with FD, gastroparesis or constipation, improves GI motility and therefore improves quality of life of the patients. The success of this project will lead to a noninvasive and convenient therapy for treating GI motility disorders. The proposed TEA method is expected to improve gastric and colonic functions and thus improve quality of life. In addition, the proposed TEA method and device are self-administrative after training during the first office visit. It provides a long-term treatment option for both FD, gastroparesis and chronic constipation.

Acupuncturefor Hypertension

Cerebrovascular diseases (CVD) and neurodegenerative diseases (NDD) are both leading causes of death in the United States. Epidemiological data have shown that increased prevalence of hypertension is related to these outcomes. However, despite the strong association of poor brain health outcomes in patients with hypertension (HTN), the understanding of cerebral blood flow (CBF) regulation and treatment options for HTN remain limited. Acupuncture treatment (AT), which is considered a promising complementary and integrative modality, has been known to reduce blood pressure and improve endothelial function in HTN. However, very few studies have investigated AT's effect on cerebrovascular function and the possible neuroprotective properties directly via regulating HTN. Exercise is used as a stimulus that increases the brain's metabolism and requires cerebrovascular responses (vasodilation) to meet the new metabolism. Therefore, the specific aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that an antihypertensive acupuncture treatment can acutely improve cerebrovascular responses in hypertensive humans during moderate exercise.

One Needle Hand Acupuncture With Movementfor Pain

Patients with neck, shoulder, low back, or hip pain that is exacerbated by movement will be randomized 1:1:1 to receive either verum hand acupuncture at the correct location (with or without movement) or control acupuncture at a nearby incorrect location. After needling and as part of the intervention, the movement groups will perform gentle active range of motion (ROM) exercises, while the without movement group will lay on the examination table, all for 10 minutes. Immediately pre- and post- intervention, numeric pain rating scores (NPRS) and goniometer- or inclinometer-obtained ROM measurements will be recorded for the most provocative movement plane. In the physical therapy literature, within-session improvements in pain and ROM have been shown to correlate with between-session improvements.All patients will complete PROMIS Pain Interference, Physical Function, Anxiety, and Depression measures prior to the acupuncture intervention and then 1,2, 4, and 8 weeks later. Four potential treatment response modifiers will be assessed. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), a strong needling sensation felt by the patient during an acupuncture treatment is called a "deqi" response and is thought to be a positive prognostic sign. In Western medicine, a local twitch response (LTR) observed during needling of muscle trigger points is thought to represent a polysynaptic reflex and has been linked to local pain improvements.Other potential modifiers include patients' underlying musculoskeletal structural diagnosis and the provider's experience performing acupuncture.

Standard Acupuncture/Moxibustion (fixed Protocol)for Syndrome

The objective of this study is to test the efficacy of a symptom management treatment strategy, namely, Acupuncture/Moxibustion (Acu/Moxa) to improve the symptoms associated with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) in persons between the ages of 18 to 70 years. IBS has been defined as abdominal pain or discomfort in the mid or lower gastrointestinal (GI) tract, associated with defecation or a change in bowel patterns and with features of disordered defecation. Current therapies include dietary modification, psychotherapy and pharmacological therapies. Traditional eastern approaches offer a therapeutic approach to symptom management that is subtle, holistic and holds promise as an intervention for IBS. This study will enroll 171 men and women experiencing IBS with diarrhea (IBS-D) defined by the ROME III criteria. Subjects will be randomized (by chance) to one of three experimental intervention conditions: Condition 1,subjects receive Standard Acu/Moxa; Condition 2, subjects receive Individualized Acu/Moxa and Condition 3, subjects receive Sham Acupuncture/Placebo Moxibustion(control group). Subjects will attend a screening/intake session followed by two treatment sessions per week for 4 weeks, one treatment session per week for 4 weeks, and 2 non-treatment follow-up sessions at weeks 12 and 24. All subjects will be assessed by a diagnostic acupuncturist (blinded to treatment assignments), receive interventions appropriate to their condition assignment by treating acupuncturists, be administered the same instruments, and submit their symptom diaries for data entry and analysis. All subjects will complete a prospective symptom diary for the duration of the study.
