“…Four CCTs from the same research group assessed cardiac output in dogs undergoing experimental halothane-induced anesthesia. 11,12,14,15 Comparisons with baseline indicated a significant increase in cardiac output when needling at GO 26,11,14 whereas a decrease was detected at ST 36. 12,15 Intergroup analyses were not reported for any of the CCTs.…”

Acupuncture is a popular complementary treatment option in human medicine. Increasingly, owners also seek acupuncture for their animals. The aim of the systematic review reported here was to summarize and assess the clinical evidence for or against the effectiveness of acupuncture in veterinary medicine. Systematic searches were conducted on Medline, Embase, Amed, Cinahl, Japana Centra Revuo Medicina and Chikusan Bunken Kensaku. Hand-searches included conference proceedings, bibliographies, and contact with experts and veterinary acupuncture associations. There were no restrictions regarding the language of publication. All controlled clinical trials testing acupuncture in any condition of domestic animals were included. Studies using laboratory animals were excluded. Titles and abstracts of identified articles were read, and hard copies were obtained. Inclusion and exclusion of studies, data extraction, and validation were performed independently by two reviewers. Methodologic quality was evaluated by means of the Jadad score. Fourteen randomized controlled trials and 17 nonrandomized controlled trials met our criteria and were, therefore, included. The methodologic quality of these trials was variable but, on average, was low. For cutaneous pain and diarrhea, encouraging evidence exists that warrants further investigation in rigorous trials. Single studies reported some positive intergroup differences for spinal cord injury, Cushing's syndrome, lung function, hepatitis, and rumen acidosis. These trials require independent replication. On the basis of the findings of this systematic review, there is no compelling evidence to recommend or reject acupuncture for any condition in domestic animals. Some encouraging data do exist that warrant further investigation in independent rigorous trials.

Summary Evidence of sympathetic or parasympathetic stimulation of the cardiovascular system has been obtained in dogs under halothane anesthesia following acupuncture. Acupuncture at Jen Chung (Go‐26), which is located on the phithrum, results in sympathetic input and an increase in cardiac output, heart rate and mean arterial pressure. These effects can be inhibited by the beta adrenergic blocking agent, propranolol. Acupuncture at Tsu San Li (St‐36), which is located distal to the lateral condyle of the tibia, results in parasympathetic input and decrease in cardiac output. This effect is inhibited by atropine.

ACOrUNCTtmE has been used in the Orient for over 2,000 years. 1,~ Recent reports have stimulated interest in this modality of treatment, but it is not widely accepted due to lack of well-controlled clinical studies ya Stimulation of acupuncture loci or acupoints can be provided in various ways including pressure, cupping, needling alone, needling with twirling, needling with electrostimulation, electrostimulation alone, and application of heat by various means such as moxa~ and electrocautery. Classical methods of acupuncture include: (1) needling alone, (2) needling with twirling, (3) needling with electrical stimulation, and (4) burning of moxa upon the skin (moxibustion). lo-17 Marked changes in the cardiovascular system have been observed following acupuncture in dogs under halothane anaesthesia. 18-2~ Moxibustion by electrocautery at Jen Chung (Go-26) produced greater changes in cardiovascular parameters than pressure alone, needling alone, needling with twirling or needling with electrical stimulation./s,~l,z2' There is evidence that the effects of acupuncture are mediated through the autonomic nervous system. :~,19 Since stimulation of the Jen Chung (Go-26) locus produced a consistent sympathomimetic effect in dogs under halothane anaesthesia, the ensuing study was formulated to determine if administration of the fl-adrenergic blocking agent propranolol would inhibit this effect. ~8.~9,-~,22 Moxibustion with electric cautery was selected as the means of stimulating Jen Chung (Go-26) since the cardiovascular response produced by moxibustion is greater than that observed following acupuncture performed by needles. 22 METHODS AND MATERIALS This study was performed in 34 random-source conditioned dogs in which an electromagnetic flow probe (Zepeda) had been implanted around the ascending aorta as previously described. '8,1'~,2',~.~4 After implantation, the dogs were observed for about ten days to ensure proper recovery and that the flow probes were well tolerated.
