- The advantages of acupuncture anesthesia in clinical practice
In clinical practice, acupuncture anesthesia presents a multitude of advantages, pivotal among these being Body System Protection. This technique supports the body's natural defenses, reducing the physiological stress often associated with surgical procedures. By modulating the body's response to pain, acupuncture anesthesia allows for a lower Dosage of Medication, significantly reducing the potential for drug-related side effects. Furthermore, this approach plays a crucial role in Emotion Regulation, helping patients maintain a calm and stable emotional state, which is essential for a positive surgical outcome. The impact of acupuncture on the nervous system not only aids in Pain Relief but also promotes Enhanced Recovery After Surgery. Patients tend to experience faster recuperation times, attributed to the holistic nature of this method. Additionally, acupuncture anesthesia is associated with a Lower Incidence of Side Effects compared to conventional anesthetics. Its ability to modulate and balance the body's responses makes it an invaluable tool in the realm of modern medicine, offering a safer, more patient-centered approach to pain management and recovery.

| 31855257 | Consistent with findings of past systematic reviews and meta-analyses, acupuncture was associated with significant reductions in cancer pain in open-label studies. | JAMA Oncol. 2020 Feb 1;6(2):271-278. doi: 10.1001/jamaoncol.2019.5233. | Cancer Pain | Review |
| 31855257 | The positive results from sham-controlled RCTs suggest the potential efficacy of acupuncture in reducing cancer pain, as sham acupuncture helps prevent bias in evaluating the specific outcome of acupuncture needling. | JAMA Oncol. 2020 Feb 1;6(2):271-278. doi: 10.1001/jamaoncol.2019.5233. | Cancer Pain | Review |
| 31855257 | Heterogeneity in the results suggests that the outcomes of acupuncture may be variable; thus, it may not be suitable as a stand-alone therapy for cancer pain. | JAMA Oncol. 2020 Feb 1;6(2):271-278. doi: 10.1001/jamaoncol.2019.5233. | Cancer Pain | Review |

| 31855257 | Because cancer pain is highly complex, the type of pain, cancer treatment (eg, surgical procedure, chemotherapy, and hormone therapy as well as phase of care such as active treatment, survivorship, and palliative care), and acupuncture method are likely factors in the variability of estimates. | JAMA Oncol. 2020 Feb 1;6(2):271-278. doi: 10.1001/jamaoncol.2019.5233. | Cancer Pain | Review |

| 33027406 | while the evidence from the studies evaluating the use of massage therapy or the use of progressive muscle relaxation and guided imaging for the management of cancer pain in these patients demonstrated significant benefits, the other two studies that evaluated the use of acupuncture as a complementary therapy showed contradictory results, therefore, needing more research studies to elucidate such findings. | Rev Lat Am Enfermagem. 2020 Sep 30;28:e3377. doi: 10.1590/1518-8345.4213.3377. eCollection 2020. | Cancer Pain | Review |

| 33027406 | While a study indicated that si guanxue acupuncture plus the commonly used acupuncture points (PC6; ST36; SP6) tends to be effective in reducing cancer pain( ), another study pointed out that, although the treatment with IA appeared to be viable and safe for patients with advanced cancer, it did not demonstrate significant differences in the groups (experimental and control) mainly due to the control group (Sham IA) limitation( ). | Rev Lat Am Enfermagem. 2020 Sep 30;28:e3377. doi: 10.1590/1518-8345.4213.3377. eCollection 2020. | Cancer Pain | Review |

| 33027406 | Due to the fact that they exhibit opposite results, the two studies that evaluated the use of acupuncture as a complementary therapy were insufficient to accurately assert the efficacy of such therapy on the reduction of cancer pain, mainly because they differ on the methodological aspects (type of acupuncture, application techniques, and evaluated acupuncture points), therefore needing to get more evidence to elucidate such findings. | Rev Lat Am Enfermagem. 2020 Sep 30;28:e3377. doi: 10.1590/1518-8345.4213.3377. eCollection 2020. | Cancer Pain | Review |

| 34983587 | The guideline proposed three recommendations: (1) a strong recommendation for the treatment of acupuncture rather than no treatment to relieve pain in patients with moderate to severe cancer pain; (2) a weak recommendation for the combination treatments with acupuncture/acupressure to reduce pain intensity, decrease the opioid dose, and alleviate opioid-related side effects in moderate to severe cancer pain patients who are using analgesics; and (3) a strong recommendation for acupuncture in breast cancer patients to relieve their aromatase inhibitor-induced arthralgia. | Chin Med. 2022 Jan 5;17(1):8. doi: 10.1186/s13020-021-00558-4. | Cancer Pain Side Effects | Review |
| 34983587 | A recent systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrated that acupuncture was significantly associated with reduced cancer pain and can decrease the use of analgesics with moderate certainty of evidence. | Chin Med. 2022 Jan 5;17(1):8. doi: 10.1186/s13020-021-00558-4. | Cancer Pain | Review |
| 34983587 | Given the benefit, clinical urgency, easy public accessibility, relatively high social acceptance and low cost, it is necessary to develop a trustworthy guidance to guide clinical practice of acupuncture for cancer pain management. | Chin Med. 2022 Jan 5;17(1):8. doi: 10.1186/s13020-021-00558-4. | Cancer Pain | Review |
| 34983587 | Among them, the guidelines from European Oncology Nursing Society (EONS) and National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) suggest the use of acupuncture for managing cancer pain (Box 1). | Chin Med. 2022 Jan 5;17(1):8. doi: 10.1186/s13020-021-00558-4. | Cancer Pain | Review |
| 34983587 | However, both of them do not provide the practical recommendations for acupuncture practice, which limits the application of acupuncture in clinical cancer pain management. | Chin Med. 2022 Jan 5;17(1):8. doi: 10.1186/s13020-021-00558-4. | Cancer Pain | Review |

| 34983587 | We adopted literature review and Delphi method to explore the rule of acupuncture point selection for cancer pain. | Chin Med. 2022 Jan 5;17(1):8. doi: 10.1186/s13020-021-00558-4. | Cancer Pain | Review |
| 34983587 | We searched Chinese and English databases to include clinical studies on the treatment using acupuncture for cancer pain. | Chin Med. 2022 Jan 5;17(1):8. doi: 10.1186/s13020-021-00558-4. | Cancer Pain | Review |
| 34983587 | Meanwhile, we also included two patients, who have used acupuncture for the treatment of their cancer pain, to participate in voting the recommendations. | Chin Med. 2022 Jan 5;17(1):8. doi: 10.1186/s13020-021-00558-4. | Cancer Pain | Review |
| 34983587 | Thirteen of 14 experts voted for recommending the treatment of acupuncture to relieve pain and suggesting a combination treatment of acupuncture/acupressure and analgesics to relieve pain and reduce opioid dose in patients with cancer pain. | Chin Med. 2022 Jan 5;17(1):8. doi: 10.1186/s13020-021-00558-4. | Cancer Pain | Review |
| 34983587 | We recommend the treatment of acupuncture rather than no treatment to relieve pain in patients with moderate to severe cancer pain (strong recommendation, moderate certainty evidence). | Chin Med. 2022 Jan 5;17(1):8. doi: 10.1186/s13020-021-00558-4. | Cancer Pain | Review |
| 34983587 | There was no significant difference in relieving cancer pain using different acupuncture techniques (manual acupuncture, electroacupuncture and auricular acupuncture). | Chin Med. 2022 Jan 5;17(1):8. doi: 10.1186/s13020-021-00558-4. | Cancer Pain | Review |

| 34983587 | The non-drug treatment and acupuncture therapy were demonstrated to be effective based on available clinical evidence, which offered new avenues for options of managing cancer pain. | Chin Med. 2022 Jan 5;17(1):8. doi: 10.1186/s13020-021-00558-4. | Cancer Pain | Review |
| 34983587 | This is the first evidence-based guideline for acupuncture in the treatment of cancer pain, and is expected to improve quality of life and care quality for moderate and severe cancer patients. | Chin Med. 2022 Jan 5;17(1):8. doi: 10.1186/s13020-021-00558-4. | Cancer Pain | Review |
| 34983587 | Future research should prioritize to address: (1) if the efficacy of acupuncture varies in alleviating cancer pain for different types of cancer; (2) the efficacy of acupressure to relieve cancer pain; (3) the patient preferences, values and attitude barriers of acupuncture for cancer pain from different countries. | Chin Med. 2022 Jan 5;17(1):8. doi: 10.1186/s13020-021-00558-4. | Cancer Pain | Review |
