Acupuncture Outcomes Based Rehabilitation
Acupuncture Outcomes Based Rehabilitation Through Measurement of Fine Motor Control
Studie Overzicht
Gedetailleerde beschrijving
Context: Currently there is a high demand for evidence-based research in the field of Acupuncture. The medical practice of acupuncture has existed for thousands of years and purportedly has been successful at managing a wide array of health conditions. Producing objective/quantitative data that rule out any possibility of placebo effect has proved burdensome.
Objectives: This exploratory study seeks to determine if physiological measurements of fine motor control can be changed after receiving an acupuncture treatment. Can this change demonstrate the effectiveness of the treatment? Design, Setting, Participants, Interventions: This study looked at acupuncture patients undergoing treatments for pain relief, and general minor injury to determine whether or not observable changes could be detected in the fine motor control of the hands after acupuncture treatments.
Two groups of 50 subjects were used in the study. The test group was given a fine motor control test prior to and after their acupuncture therapy to determine if any changes could be measured.
The control group was given two fine motor control tests without acupuncture treatment with a 40 minute delay between the tests to replicate the test group timing. This study was conducted at a non-profit community clinic between the dates of 9/28/16 & 2/19/17.

Inclusion Criteria:
- Male or female 13 years old or older
- Study participants were selected from the acupuncture patient population freely visiting the clinic. Patients were asked if they would be interested in a research study. They were informed about the objectives of the study, what their role would be and that this was a free non-invasive test that they would undergo before and after their regular acupuncture treatment. Before inclusion into the program, patients are provided with informed consent forms and after agreeing and signing the form, individuals then become participants.
