BFA Treatment of Pain

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this pilot study is to conduct an unblinded pilot randomized clinical study on the effectiveness and tolerability of auricular semi-permanent (ASP) vs intradermal (long), and pyonex needles in Battlefield Acupuncture (BFA) for the treatment of pain.

Clinical Trial Description

1. Begin to identify which of 3 needles is most efficacious for BFA treatment of pain; 2. Identify patient experiences and tolerance of three commonly used acupuncture needles at Mike O'Callaghan Military Medical Center at Nellis Air Force Base. This study will compare 30 patients (10 per needling group) and will serve as a pilot study for a potential larger randomized control trial (RCT) across multiple MTFs in the Defense Health Agency (DHA) to establish better BFA care practices. We will be recruiting a total of 39 subjects, which is inclusive of a 30% drop out rate to accommodate those that may be lost to the study or have missing data to achieve a final total of 30 subjects. ;
