Acupuncture Treatment in Geriatric Rehabilitation: A Retrospective Study
Shahar Lev-ari,Yaffa Lerman,David Goldray,Shifra Merdler,Ehud Miller,Yair Maimon,Adi Barad 사단법인약침학회 2008 Journal of Acupuncture & Meridian Studies Vol.1 No.1
The main goal of geriatric rehabilitation reconditioning following an acute illness is rapid restoration of normal activity. Key elements are pain control, restoration of bowel function, sleep, appetite and general well being, alongside physical activity. The aim of this retrospective study was to assess the effect of acupuncture as an adjunct to medical and physical rehabilitation in geriatric patients. The setting was a university-affiliated large city general hospital. The participants comprised 27 consenting consecutive patients in a subacute geriatric rehabilitation department. The interventions consisted of biweekly acupuncture treatment in conjunction with medical and physical therapy. The outcome measures of pain, appetite, quality of sleep, bowel function and general well being were assessed using a 10-point Likert scale at the onset and close of treatment. The results showed that a significant post-treatment improvement was seen in pain (p = 0.005), appetite (p = 0.0034), bowel function (p = 0.029) and general well being (p = 0.0012) scores in patients' treatment when compared with pretreatment baseline scores. The “quality of sleep” score showed a trend towards improvement (p = 0.073). In conclusion, acupuncture may be beneficial as an adjunctive treatment in geriatric postacute illness rehabilitation. Randomized controlled trials are needed to further assess the role of acupuncture as part of treatment management for restoring normal physical activity in geriatric patients.

Acupuncture for Treating Temporomandibular Disorder: Retrospective Study on Safety and Efficacy
Michele Noiman,Udi Miller,Yair Maimon,Azriel Garty,Shahar Lev-Ari 사단법인약침학회 2010 Journal of Acupuncture & Meridian Studies Vol.3 No.4
This study aimed to retrospectively examine the efficacy and safety of acupuncture for the relief of pain originating from temporomandibular joint disorder and trigeminal neuralgia. Participants included patients suffering from trigeminal neuralgia or temporomandibular disorder with osseous pathology ruled out by panoramic X-rays. Participants received a series of 8−10 weekly acupuncture treatments and rated their pain via a visual analogue scale. From assessment of a total of 39patients, analysis of pain severity before and after treatment showed that acupuncture intervention was highly beneficial for patients with temporomandibular joint disorder (88.6%, p < 0.01), compared with patients with trigeminal neuralgia in which there was only a minor effect (25%). The data also demonstrated that acupuncture was both efficacious in acute patients (91%, p < 0.01) and chronic patients (70%, p < 0.05) and elicited no side effects during the course of treatment. Acupuncture treatment was a safe and efficient methodology for relieving the pain of patients suffering from temporomandibular disorder with no detectable osseous joint component. Based on these results, a randomized clinical trial is being initiated at the Stomatologic Clinic at the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center to assess the role of acupuncture in treating temporomandibular joint disorder.
