“…21 In one study, the SDs were approximated from similar studies by the same authors under similar trial circumstances. 16,22,23 Secondary outcomes. Medication usage included opioids and nonopioids, the frequency of usage both during and post ED stay, and the rate of discharge analgesic dispensing and prescriptions.…”

“…Unfortunately, most of the studies were on perioperative and not on ED pain and, furthermore, an emergency setting RCT was missed in this review. 16 Murakami et al did a further review in 2016 on ear acupuncture for acute pain relief, particularly looking at analgesic use up to 48 hours. 17 The researchers' metaanalysis of 6 studies included 303 patients and showed a statistically significant reduction in analgesia usage with an SMD of 1.08.…”

Objective: Ear acupuncture might be the form of acupuncture best suited to improving acute pain management in the emergency department (ED). The primary aim of this review was to assess the analgesic efficacy of ear acupuncture in the ED. Secondary outcomes included measures of patient satisfaction, adverse effects, cost, administration techniques, and reduction of medication usage. Methods: Seven databases and Google Scholar were searched up to April 27, 2017, using MeSH descriptors for three overarching themes (ear acupuncture, pain management, and emergency medicine). Meta-analyses were performed in 3 comparator groups: (1) ear acupuncture versus sham; (2) ear acupuncture-as-adjunct to standard care; and (3) ear acupuncture (both as sole therapy and adjuvant) versus control to calculate the standardized mean difference (SMD) and weighted mean difference (WMD) for pain scores out of 10. Results: Six randomized controlled trials and 2 observational studies, totaling 458 patients, were retrieved after exclusions. The meta-analysis used data from 4 randomized studies representing 286 patients. The above 3 comparator groups resulted in SMDs of 1.69, 1.68, and 1.66, and WMDs of 2.47, 2.84, and 2.61 respectively, all favoring acupuncture. Battlefield (ear) acupuncture was the most commonly used technique. There were no significant adverse effects and patient satisfaction improved. Results regarding if acupuncture reduced medication use were equivocal. Significant study bias and heterogeneity were found. Conclusions: While study numbers are limited, ear acupuncture, either as stand-alone or as-an-adjunct technique, significantly reduced pain scores and has potential benefits for use in the ED. Further studies will define acupuncture's role and if it reduces use of analgesic medications.

“…Several acupuncture techniques and dry needling have demonstrated efficacy for the treatment of certain types of chronic pain. [3][4][5] These modalities may be used in combination with exercises to supplement therapy. A case report described treatment of 2 runners with proximal biceps femoris tendinopathy with the use of a combination of eccentric loading and lumbopelvic stabilization exercises and dry needling.…”

“…In patients receiving true auriculotherapy, less pain was observed in conjunction with lower levels of anxiety and a reduced heart rate, as well as overall satisfaction with treatment. 4 The purpose of this case report is to describe the combination of dry needling and auricular acupuncture in conjunction with core exercises and light aerobic activity for the treatment of chronic tendinopathy of the right biceps femoris muscle.…”

Objective: The purpose of this case report was to describe the use of dry needling in conjunction with auricular acupuncture, core exercises, and light aerobic activity for treating chronic tendinopathy of the biceps femoris. Clinical Features: A 30-year-old white female presented with chronic biceps femoris tendinopathy. The injury had occurred 18 months prior while training for a triathlon. Active stretching of her right biceps femoris while standing with her feet 6 inches apart aggravated the pain at the origin in the right tendon of the biceps femoris at 0 degrees of movement. Intervention/Outcome: The combination of dry needling and auricular acupuncture with core rehabilitation exercises and light activity was employed. Alleviation of pain with full range of motion was achieved during hip extension, knee flexion, and standing biceps femoris stretch at the 11th, 16th, and 18th treatments. In addition, the patient also reported improvement in her symptoms, including night sweats, insomnia, anxiety, tension, and constipation. Conclusions: This patient's symptoms and function improved after 18 treatments of multimodal care. Dry needling employed simultaneously with auricular acupuncture, core exercises, and light activity could be considered a possible strategy for treating chronic tendinopathy.
