“…96 it is a minimally invasive treatment that, for most animals, is not uncomfortable, often pleasant, and can be used either alone or in addition to other pain treatment modalities (image 6). Acupuncture has been recognized by the National institutes of Health since 1998 as having applications in human medicine, especially pain management.…”

“…Quando inseridas e manipuladas, desencadeiam estímulos que agem sobre as estruturas presentes nos acupontos, alterando o potencial da membrana celular, acarretando o desencadeamento do potencial de ação e consequente condução dos estímulos nervosos, que resultam tanto em efeitos locais quanto sistêmicos (COLLAZO, 2012;LINDSEY et al, 2014).…”

“…Quando cada um desses níveis é estimulado, desencadeia-se uma cascata química que resulta na liberação de neurotransmissores, neuromoduladores e outras substâncias (COLLAZO, 2012). Nessa cascata, os peptídeos opióides endógenos (encefalina, endorfinas e dinorfinas) e a serotonina (5-hidroxitriptamina) são os principais responsáveis por promover o bloqueio da transmissão da dor no sistema nervoso central (LINDSEY et al, 2014).…”

“…Além desses, acredita-se que a substância P, por meio da ação de proteases dos mastócitos provavelmente regula a ação do gene da calcitonina das terminações nervosas e a sua atividade vasodilatadora, e que a estimulação adicional de fibras C, através dos mecanismos do "gate control theory", também resulta em interrupção da dor e relaxamento muscular (LINDSEY et al, 2014).…”

RESUMOO presente estudo visa reunir informações atualizadas a respeito do emprego da acupuntura veterinária na displasia coxofemoral em cães, identificar quais os métodos de acupuntura mais empregados e os principais acupontos utilizados na terapêutica desta patologia. Tendo em vista que a acupuntura se mostra uma ferramenta importante no restabelecimento da força muscular, controle da dor e inflamação, permitindo ao paciente, melhora das atividades locomotoras, aumento do ângulo de movimento da articulação e consequente melhoria da qualidade de vida, aliada a um melhor custo econômico, menor tempo de recuperação e redução dos riscos cirúrgicos e complicações pós-operatórias. Apesar da pouca quantidade de estudos direcionados ao emprego da acupuntura veterinária na displasia coxofemoral em cães, verificou-se que os acupontos locais da articulação coxofemoral são os mais empregados e permitem a indução dos processos de reparação de forma objetiva e efetiva, principalmente quando estimulados por meio dos métodos de acupuntura por agulhamento simples e implantes de ouro.

THE USE OF VETERINARY ACUPUNCTURE IN THE TREATMENT OF DOGS´HIP DYSPLASIA ABSTRACT The present report aims to collect updated data on the use of veterinary acupuncture in the treatment of dogs´ hip dysplasia; the research, beside, intends to identify which are the most applied acupuncture methods as well as the main and most used acupoints in the therapy of this disease. Considering that acupuncture is meant to be an important tool both in the muscle strength restorement and in the pain control and inflammation, it enable the patient to attain a locomotor activity enhancement, an increasment of the joint movement angle, and a consequent life quality improvement, together with a lower cost, shorter recovering time and decreasing of surgical risks and post-surgical complications. Despite the low number of trials focused on the use

“…In the last 25e30 years, there has been a tremendous growth in animal acupuncture in Europe and the United States [1]. Many types of stimulations, including acupuncture, various peripheral electrical stimulations, vibrations, and electrical stimulations of specific areas in the brain, are able to produce analgesic effects [2]. They activate pathways from the brain to the spinal cord and inhibit incoming pain information in various layers of the dorsal horn of the spinal cord.…”

Electroacupuncture analgesia was used for surgery in horses and donkeys. A KWD-808 electrical stimulator was used to incrementally induce a dense, dispersed wave output at frequencies from 20 to 55 Hz, which was maintained at a frequency of 55 Hz, and to change the amplitude of the wave to the best grading number for the suggested operation in each animal. Induction of analgesia lasted for 20-30 minutes, and the effect of analgesia was maintained for 20-45 minutes depending on the type of surgery performed. The exhibited clinical signs, physical examination data, and the responses of all animals were used for evaluating the periods of analgesia. Although the majority of the cases (95%) had no response to strong surgical pain, they experienced significant increases in heart rates and respiratory rates during induction. The lack of pain, relaxed surgical procedures, reduced intraoperative bleeding, and improved healing without complications were all definite benefits of using electroacupuncture analgesia in surgery. Thus, this study has provided surgical evidence supporting the effectiveness of electroacupuncture analgesia, as well as confirming its reliability, in the field of equine anesthesia and surgery.
