“…Bee venom is effective in treating pain and has recently been applied to various diseases such as arthritis, adhesive capsulitis, lupus, and cancer [1][2][3]. Bee venom acupuncture (BVA), one of the most frequently used techniques recently, involves intradermally or intramuscularly administering a small amount of refined bee venom into specific acupoints or painful areas [4].…”

Background: Bee venom acupuncture (BVA) is an effective treatment method for various diseases. Bee venom, however, can cause adverse effects, even rarely including life-threatening anaphylaxis, so safety-related evidence is required. In this study, we systematically estimated the incidence rate of anaphylaxis in response to BVA. Methods: We searched eight databases (MEDLINE (Pubmed), EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled, KISS, KMBASE, Koreamed, OASIS, and NDSL) and systematically reviewed the articles that met the inclusion/exclusion criteria. Results: Among 225 potentially relevant articles, 49 were selected for this study. The overall incidence rate of anaphylaxis in response to BVA was 0.045% (95% CI 0.028–0.062). Women (0.083%, 95% CI 0.010–0.157) showed a higher incidence rate than men (0.019%, 95% CI −0.018 to 0.055), while the incidence for patients who had a skin test conducted (0.041%, 95% CI 0.011–0.072) was not significantly different compared to that obtained for patients for which there was no information about a skin test (0.047%, 95% CI 0.026–0.067). The publication year affected the incidence rate: it was highest before 1999 (1.099%, 95% CI −1.043 to 3.241), lower between 2000 and 2009 (0.049%, 95% CI 0.025–0.073), and lowest between 2010 and 2021 (0.037% 95% CI 0.014–0.060). Conclusions: In this study, we provide reference data about risk size and factors of BVA-related anaphylaxis, which is essentially required for BVA application in clinics.

“…[13,14] Bee venom acupuncture is a pharmacopuncture that takes advantage of diluted bee venom instead of distilled herbal decoctions. [15,16] Although pharmacopuncture has used for treating various diseases, it is most often applied in musculoskeletal disorders, and many studies on its therapeutic efficacy have been reported. [13,14] The treatment of nerve entrapment syndrome with pharmacopuncture alone or combined with KM intervention has been reported, and clinical Medicine evidence suggests that pharmacopuncture treatment can reduce pain by relieving the entrapment of the peripheral nerves that dominate the area, thus improving the ischemic state of the nerve stem.…”

Background: Nerve entrapment syndrome occurs when the nerves become compressed or entrapped and restricted. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of pharmacopuncture in patients with nerve entrapment syndrome.Methods: A search will be conducted from inception to August 2022 using the following 11 electronic databases: MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Allied and Complementary Medicine Database China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and 6 Korean databases. All randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating pharmacopuncture treatment for various nerve entrapment syndromes will be considered, with no restrictions regarding the type of pharmacopuncture solution used. Two reviewers will perform the data extraction and quality assessment using a predefined data extraction form. The methodological quality of the included RCTs will be assessed using the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool.Results: This systematic review will provide high-quality evidence to determine the efficacy and safety of pharmacopuncture therapy for nerve entrapment syndrome.Conclusion: Our findings will be informative for patients with nerve entrapment syndrome, as well as clinicians, policymakers, and researchers.

“…Bee venom (BV) is an animal toxin that contains several active compounds, such as enzymes, peptides, non-peptide components, and biologically active amines. BV demonstrates the potential to be used as a beneficial pain treatment [ 10 , 11 ]. There are several types of BV therapies available, such as bee sting therapy, bee venom acupuncture (BVA), and the external use of BV products.…”

“…For this reason, this treatment modality also exhibits a high risk of developing adverse side effects [ 12 ]. On the other hand, BVA, which involves the administration of BV diluted with saline into a specific acupoint, has been used to treat different types of pain in the clinical fields of traditional, complementary, and alternative medicine [ 10 ] and does not exhibit the same adverse risks as those observed with bee sting therapy.…”

Bee venom (BV) is a complex natural toxin that contains various pharmaceutical compounds. Bee venom acupuncture (BVA), involving a BV injection into a certain acupuncture point, has been utilized to relieve a range of pain conditions. Regardless of whether pain is caused by disease or injury, if not effectively treated, pain can exert a detrimental effect on all aspects of life. In the past decade, many researchers have investigated the anti-nociceptive effects of BVA through clinical use and experimental evaluation. This report reviews the existing knowledge on the analgesic effects of BVA, focusing on musculoskeletal pain, inflammatory pain and neuropathic pain, and its analgesic mechanisms. Although further clinical trials are needed to clinical application of experimental results, this review will contribute to the standardization and generalization of BVA.
