Acupuncture benefits Alzheimer’s disease patients. Clinical research published in the Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science finds acupuncture plus moxibustion effective in improving cognitive function and improving the general quality of life for Alzheimer’s disease patients. The research, supported by the Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, measured an 83.3% total effective rate of acupuncture combined with moxibustion. Scalp points for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease are in the study.

The acupuncture points used were GV20 (Baihui) and Sishencong (Ex-Hn-1). Filiform acupuncture needles (0.30 mm x 40-50 mm) were inserted at a 30 degree angle to the area just below the galea aponeurotica. Twirling method was applied without lifting and thrusting at a rate of 200 times per minute for 2-3 minutes followed by a needle retention time of 5 minutes prior to repeating the process. Engagement by family members involved instruction to verbally communicate and help the patient move their limbs during the needling regime.

Agopuntura ed erbe cinesi migliorano l'udito nei malati di ipoacusia (sordità, deficit di percezione dei suoni).

L'agopuntura migliora l'udito nei pazienti con sordità. La riceca pubblicata sulla rivista International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Medicine mostra che l'agopuntura è efficace nel trattamento della sordità legata a lesione del sistema nervoso. Questo tipo di sordità, che prende il nome scientifico di ipoacusia neurosensoriale è dovuta a un danno recettoriale nervoso dell'orecchio interno. I ricercatori, Jiang e collaboratori concludono che l'agopuntura può dare un beneficio significativo dell'udito di pazienti con sordità neurosensoriale, e l'efficacia dell'agopuntura in combinazione con fitoterapia cinese è superiore alla fitoterapia da sola.
I punti scelti erano i seguenti, i più frequenti nei cocktail tradizionali indicati nel il trattamento classico della sordità neurosensoriale:

  • TE17 (Yifeng)
  • GB2 (Tinghui)
  • TE21 (Ermen)
  • SI19 (Tinggong)
  • LU7 (Lieque)
  • GB43 (Xiaxi)
  • TE3 (Zhongzhu)
  • LR3 (Taichong)
  • GB40 (Qiuxu)

La formula di piante medicinali utilizzata era Er Long Zuo Ci Wan, in uso da secoli nei trattamenti dei disturbi dell'udito in Medicina Tradizionale Cinese, e che risulta efficace anche oggi. Er Long Zuo Ci Wan contiene le seguenti piante medicinali:

  • Magnetitum (Ci Shi)
  • Radix Rehmanniae Preparata (Shu Di Huang)
  • Fructus Corni Officinalis (Shan Zhu Yu)
  • Cortex Moutan Radicis, Paeonia Suffruticosa (Mu Dan Pi)
  • Rhizoma Dioscoreae Oppositae (Shan Yao)
  • Sclerotium Poriae Cocos (Fu Ling)
  • Rhizoma Alismatis Orientalis (Ze Xie)
  • Radix Bupleuri Chinensis (Chai Hu)
