“…Acupuncture has been shown to be helpful for treatment of breathlessness secondary to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. [60][61][62] Positive effects on both subjective and objective outcomes were found for advanced cancer-related breathlessness in one study, 63 though not in another. 64 There is ongoing research in this area.…”

Clinical guidelines are statements that have been systematically developed and which aim to assist clinicians in making decisions about treatment for specific conditions, and promote best practice. They are linked to evidence and are meant to facilitate good medical practice. We are not aware of any guidelines for the safe practice of acupuncture in a conventional healthcare setting, yet they are necessary as acupuncture may be performed in a variety of settings and by a variety of healthcare professionals: doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, midwives, and non medically trained practitioners. These guidelines were developed for use in cancer patients, mainly for pain but also for some non-pain indications such as hot flushes. They are presented here as a template for other acupuncturists who are requested to provide policies for acupuncture treatment for cancer patients.This article includes a general review of the evidence on mechanisms, effectiveness and safety of acupuncture that is intended to be used in conjunction with the guidelines; and the guidelines themselves. An appendix includes instructions for self acupuncture. The guidelines contain sections on roles and responsibilities, criteria for acupuncture practice, indications for acupuncture, contraindications and cautions, acupuncture treatment, and review and audit. These guidelines set basic, minimum standards of care, and need reassessment and ongoing validation as further data and evidence accumulate.

“…Patients took part in an inpatient, complex pulmonary rehabilitation program with chest wallstretching, controlled breathing techniques and training, as well as personalized exercise training by cycling and treadmill 2-3 times for 20-30 min a day for 4 weeks. Six-minute walking distance (6MWD) [13], lung function [14], chest wall expansion (CWE) [15], grip strength [16], maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP) [17] and breath holding time (BHT) [18] were measured at the start and at the end of the rehabilitation program. The quality of life and dyspnea were evaluated by CAT [19] and mMRC [20].…”

Background Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) technology can evaluate muscle metabolism and oxygenation. NIRS-based oximeters can measure skeletal muscle oxygen delivery and utilization during static and dynamic work non-invasively. Our goal was to assess the value and usability of NIRS technology in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) rehabilitation program. Methods Forty patients with COPD participated in a 4-week inpatient rehabilitation program that included breathing exercises and personalized cycle/treadmill training adjusted to the functional capacity, physical activity and comorbidities of the patients. A NIRS muscle oxygen monitor was used to measure tissue oxygenation and hemoglobin levels. Total hemoglobin index, average muscle oxygenation, minimal and maximal muscle oxygenation were recorded before and after the rehabilitation program. Results Rehabilitation resulted improvement in 6 min walking distance (6MWD:335.3 ± 110. vs. 398.3 ± 126.2 m; P < 0.01), maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP: 57.7 ± 22.7 vs. 63.6 ± 18.0 cmH2O; P < 0.01), chest wall expansion (CWE: 2.84 ± 1.26 vs, 4.00 ± 1.76 cm; P < 0.01), breath hold time (BHT: 25.8 ± 10.6 vs. 29.2 ± 11.6 s; P < 0.01) and grip strength (GS: 24.9 ± 11.9 vs. 27.0 ± 11.4 kg; P < 0.01). Quality of life improvement was monitored by COPD Assessment Test (CAT: 17.00 ± 8.49 vs. 11.89 ± 7.3, P < 0.05). Total hemoglobin index (tHb: 12.8 ± 1.3% vs. 12.8 ± 1.4), average muscle oxygenation (SmO2: 67.5 ± 14.4% vs. 65.2 ± 20.4%) showed a tendency for improvement. Maximal muscle oxygenation decreased (SmO2 max: 98.0 ± 20.5% vs. 90.1 ± 14.3%; P < 0.01). Minimal muscle oxygenation increased (SmO2 min: 42.6 ± 12.6% vs. 54.8 ± 14.3%; P < 0.01). Conclusions NIRS results showed that muscle oxygenation and microcirculation can be described as a high-risk factor in COPD patients. The 4-week rehabilitation improves functional parameters, quality of life and tissue oxygenation levels in COPD patients.
