Analgesic Effects of Acupuncture on Pain After Mandibular Wisdom Tooth Extraction
Kitade, Toshikatsu,Ohyabu, Hideaki 경희대학교 2001 INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON EAST-WEST MEDICINE Vol.2001 No.1
We evaluated the analgesic effects of acupuncture on postoperative pain by comparing patients who underwent routine tooth extraction alone (control Agroup) and those who underwent tooth extraction in combination with acupuncture (experimental group) by the random allocation method. As teeth easy to extract, requiring no gingival incision(grade A) or those difficult to extract, requiring gingival incision or bone cutting (grade B). As local anesthesia, 1.8ml or 3.6ml of 2% xylocaine was used. The Ll.4, Hegu on both sides and ST. 7, Xiaguan and ST.6, Jiache on the affected side were selected. Low frequency electrical acupuncture was performed. When acupuncture was used in combination with tooth extraction, 3 of 22 patients did not develop postoperative pain. In patients with wisdom teeth difficult to extract (grade B), acupuncture used in combination with local anesthesia decreased postoperative pain. Keywords: Acupuncture, pain after tooth extraction, mandibular wisdom tooth, analgesic effect, Low frequency electrical acupuncture.

We compared the effects of trigger point acupuncture with that of sham acupuncture treatments on pain and oral function in patients with temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). This 10-week study included 16 volunteers from an acupuncture school with complaints of chronic temporomandibular joint myofascial pain for at least 6 months. The participants were randomized to one of two groups, each receiving five acupuncture treatment sessions. The trigger point acupuncture group received treatment at trigger points for the same muscle, while the other acupuncture group received sham treatment on the trigger points. Outcome measures were pain intensity (visual analogue scale) and oral function (maximal mouth opening). After treatment, pain intensity was less in the trigger point acupuncture group than in the sham treatment group, but oral function remained unchanged in both groups. Pain intensity decreased significantly between pretreatment and 5 weeks after trigger point (p < 0.001) and sham acupunctures (p < 0.050). Group comparison using the area under the curve demonstrated a significant difference between groups (pZ0.0152). Compared with sham acupuncture therapy,trigger point acupuncture therapy may be more effective for chronic temporomandibular joint myofascial pain.
