WHAT IS TRADITIONAL CHINESE
MEDICINE (TCM)?
4 major principles:
1. Your body is an integrated whole
2. You are completely connected to nature
3. You were born with a natural self-healing ability
4. Prevention is the best cure

“Electroacupuncture combined with pain relieving drugs into an
integrated treatment protocol is more effective than pain-
relieving drugs as a monotherapy.”

PURINERGIC SIGNALING
Acupuncture elicits release of adenosine and ATP
Helps nerve transmission
Purine levels as background signal for healthy and damaged

have no pain relief or any biological markers associated with
relief

ACUPUNCTURE’S ANALGESIC
MECHANISMS
In animal models
Acu and electroacu- effective in alleviation of inflammatory, neuropathic, cancer-related and visceral pain
Triggers release of ATP and adenosine
Ascending neural pathways involving A-Beta, A-delta and C-sensory fibers
Mesolimbic analgesic loop in brain and brainstem
Descending pathway mechanisms
Dopamine, cytokine, glutamate, nitric oxide, GABA effects
Opioid neuropeptides- enkephalins, endorphins, dynorphins, endomorphins, nociception
Non-opioid neuropeptides- substance P, Vasoactive intestinal peptide, calcitonin gene-related peptide
![Page 37: Acupuncture and opioids€¦ · Report to outline state of science regarding prescription opioid abuse and misuse Recommends more public education, reimbursement models and support](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051918/600ae0b6b8e57472163f7525/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
ACUPUNCTURE AND MALADAPTIVE
NEUROPLASTICITY
Maladaptive neuroplasticity is challenge in pain management
Can be associated with sever chronic pain that is resistant to
treatment
Acupuncture may relieve symptoms
Evidence shows it may be able to reverse neuroplastic changes
in spine and somatosensory cortex
![Page 38: Acupuncture and opioids€¦ · Report to outline state of science regarding prescription opioid abuse and misuse Recommends more public education, reimbursement models and support](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051918/600ae0b6b8e57472163f7525/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

“…acupuncture at local versus distal sites may improve median nerve function at the wrist by somatotopically distinct
neuroplasticity in the primary somatosensory cortex following
therapy. Our study further suggests that improvements in primary
somatosensory cortex somatotopy can predict long-term clinical
outcomes for carpal tunnel syndrome.

ACUPUNCTURE USE IN OPIATE
DEPENDENCE AND REHAB (CONT)
Meta analysis in 2012
“ the majority of studies agreed on the efficacy of acupuncture as
a strategy for the treatment of ‘opiate addiction’”
“neurochemical and behavioral evidence have shown that
acupuncture helps reduce the effects of positive and negative reinforcement involved in opiate addiction by modulating
mesolimbic dopamine neurons. Moreover, several brain
neurotransmitter systems involving opioids and GABA have been
implicated in the modulation of dopamine release by
acupuncture.”

COST-EFFECTIVENESS
Systematic review of 8 cost-utility and cost-effectiveness studies
Cost per quality adjusted life year gained below threshold for “willingness to pay”
LBP, neck pain, dysmenorrhea, migraine, HA and osteoarthritis
Cost-effectiveness analysis of osteoarthritis of knee
Acupuncture was most cost effective option
Full insurance coverage for acupuncture…
Increase premium from $.38 to $.76
Save $35,480 for migraine, $32,000 for angina pectoris, $9,000 severe osteoarthritis and $4,246 for carpal tunnel
