“…In the world of athletic performance and sport competition, many athletes have looked to use various methods to gain an edge before, during, or after play with the goal of improving performance, recovery, and musculoskeletal pain or injury [8,11,18‐20]. Complementary and alternative medicine, including acupuncture, has been used by athletes for many years to improve performance and to hasten recovery from injury [7,9,21].…”

“…Acupuncture has also been shown to serve as an adjunct to improve muscle strength training and to accelerate recovery from workouts and injury, all of which are important applications in the athlete population [9,10]. DeWeber et al used auricular acupuncture (AA) during Paralympic sports in the 2010 Warrior Games [11]. This case series demonstrated that AA could reduce pain during events and allowed participants to resume competition.…”

“…In einer Fallserie wurde die Anwendung einer besonderen Form der Ohrakupunktur (Battlefield-Acupuncture) an der Seitenlinie während der Warrior Games 2010, einem Sportevent für Militärs, beschrieben [9]. Acht Athleten wurden wegen muskulärer Probleme mit dieser speziellen Ohrakupunktur behandelt und die Schmerzintensität verringerte sich im Durchschnitt auf der numerischen Rating-Skala (NRS) von 7,1 auf 1,0 (Skala von 0-10, wobei 10 den stärksten vorstellbaren Schmerz darstellt).…”

“…Whereas chronic pain management has been the dominant area of acupuncture research, attracting the most interest, few studies have attempted to assess the role of acupuncture in treating acute pain conditions, such as low back pain,5 ankle sprain6 and sport-related injuries 7. In the context of the emergency department (ED), patients often present with non-emergent acute musculoskeletal symptoms, resulting in ED crowding as well as delays in treatment from triage, which can ultimately lead to the poor care of patients and inefficiency in emergent management 8 9.…”

Acupuncture as analgesia for non-emergent acute non-specific neck pain, ankle sprain and primary headache in an emergency department setting: a protocol for a parallel group, randomised, controlled pilot trial

et al. 2014

IntroductionThis study aims to assess the feasibility of acupuncture as an add-on intervention for patients with non-emergent acute musculoskeletal pain and primary headache in an emergency department (ED) setting.Methods and analysisA total of 40 patients who present to the ED and are diagnosed to have acute non-specific neck pain, ankle sprain or primary headache will be recruited by ED physicians. An intravenous or intramuscular injection of analgesics will be provided as the initial standard pain control intervention for all patients. Patients who still have moderate to severe pain after the 30 min of initial standard ED management will be considered eligible. These patients will be allocated in equal proportions to acupuncture plus standard ED management or to standard ED management alone based on computer-generated random numbers concealed in opaque, sealed, sequentially numbered envelopes. A 30 min session of acupuncture treatment with manual and/or electrical stimulation will be provided by qualified Korean medicine doctors. All patients will receive additional ED management at the ED physician's discretion and based on each patient's response to the allocated intervention. The primary outcome will be pain reduction measured at discharge from the ED by an unblinded assessor. Adverse events in both groups will be documented. Other outcomes will include the patient-reported overall improvement, disability due to neck pain (only for neck-pain patients), the treatment response rate, the use of other healthcare resources and the patients’ perceived effectiveness of the acupuncture treatment. A follow-up telephone interview will be conducted by a blinded assessor 72±12 h after ED discharge.Ethics and disseminationWritten informed consent will be obtained from all participants. The study has been approved by the Institutional Review Boards (IRBs). The results of this study will guide a full-scale randomised trial of acupuncture in an ED context.Trial registration numberClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02013908.
