The effects of auricular electroacupuncture on obesity in female patients — a prospective randomized placebo-controlled pilot study. Citation: (Schukro 2014)
Obesity is a chronic condition related to serious morbidity and mortality of increasing incidence and prevalence. Several studies show a significantly higher weight loss with acupuncture treatment. This is the first prospective, randomized, double-blinded study, testing the effects of auricular electroacupuncture on weight loss in obese female patients. Read more about the promising results showing the possibility of electrical auricular acupuncture to be a safe, adjunctive, non-pharmacologic...
Bioelectromagnetic medicine: the role of resonance signaling. Citation: (Foletti 2013, 484-499)
Resonance signals and signaling have a powerful impact on health. Foletti and colleagues review the importance of electromagnetic (EM) field interactions in biology and medicine to discuss how specific frequencies modulate cellular function for the restoration and maintenance of health. The paper offers the view from a larger context of EM medicine, one that elevates EM over biochemical. By presenting the work of Zhadin regarding ultrasmall magnetic intensities being biologically significant ...
Adjuvant auricular electroacupuncture and autogenic training in rheumatoid arthritis: a randomized controlled trial. Auricular acupuncture and autogenic training in rheumatoid arthritis. Citation: (Bernateck 2008)
The authors of this study note that in contrast to psychological interventions the usefulness of acupuncture as an adjuvant therapy in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has not yet been demonstrated. The objective of this study is to directly compare the efficacy of auricular electroacupuncture (EA) with autogenic training (AT). A clinically meaningful and statistically significant improvement (p < 0.05) could be observed in all outcome parameters and both groups. In contrast to the AT group, the ...
