A Controlled Clinical Trial of Group Acupuncture Therapy VS Chiropractor Group Therapy to Reduce Anxiety and Depression in People Living With HIV/AIDS (PLWH/A).
This study aims to determine and compare acupuncture therapy and chiropractor group therapy to reduce anxiety and depression among HIV/AIDS patients at Being Alive, Los Angeles. In this controlled clinical trial, a total of 30 patients will be divided into two groups, 15 in the acupuncture therapy group, 15 in the chiropractor group therapy. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), The Patient Health Questionnaire 9-item (PHQ-9) and Generalized Anxiety Disorder 7- item scales (GAD-7) will be used as screening tools for depressive and anxiety symptoms respectively.

Acupuncture Therapy Combined With Breathing Training for Patients With Stroke Complicated With Pulmonary Infection: A Clinical Study
The goal of this prospective randomized controlled study is to explore the clinical efficacy of acupuncture therapy combined with breathing training in patients with stroke complicated with pulmonary infection. The intervention group and control group were treated with conventional drug therapy, rehabilitation therapy and breathing training for 2 consecutive weeks. On this basis, the intervention group additionally received acupuncture therapy. To evaluate the clinical efficacy of both groups.

A Feasibility Trial of Self-Acupuncture for Chemotherapy Cancer Patients (SACC Trial)
The proposed study will employ a pragmatic mixed methods randomised parallel-group exploratory design to determine the feasibility of delivering self-acupuncture within an NHS cancer care setting. The trial will explore the feasibility and acceptability of all aspects of a definitive clinical trial of teaching cancer patients to self-administer acupuncture to alleviate symptoms of cancer and the side effects of conventional chemotherapy treatment. In addition the feasibility trial will provide preliminary data on effectiveness to inform the sample size calculation for a controlled clinical trial. Patients will be randomly allocated to receive either: 1) self-acupuncture in addition to standard care or 2) standard care alone. Participants randomised to the self-acupuncture arm will be asked to attend a 1.5 hour group workshop delivered by an experienced practitioners and teachers of self-acupuncture. Participants allocated to standard care will be offered training in self-acupuncture once the trial is complete to address any ongoing side effects from their cancer and its treatment. Patients will be recruited at the initiation of their chemotherapy cancer treatment from UCH Macmillan Cancer Centre. Participants will complete baseline outcome measures and be asked to complete follow up outcomes measures at the end of chemotherapy treatment, and 3 months post chemotherapy treatment. At the end of chemotherapy treatment participants will also be asked to take part in a qualitative telephone interview to explore their views on the design of the study and if allocated to self-acupuncture their views on the intervention. At 3 months post chemotherapy treatment those allocated to self-acupuncture will be invited to participate in a second qualitative interview to explore the long-term practice and effects of self-acupuncture. Qualitative interviews will also be conducted with stakeholders (acupuncturists delivering workshops and UCH Macmillan Cancer Centre staff) to explore their views on the feasibility of teaching cancer patients self-acupuncture.

Acupuncture Therapy for Post-stroke Mild Cognitive Impairment: a Randomized Controlled Trial
1. On the basis of previous studies, standardized randomized controlled clinical trials were conducted to observe the efficacy and safety of acupuncture in the treatment of mild cognitive impairment after stroke using the international rating scale, and the clinical experience was transformed into evidence. 2. According to the clinical outcomes reported by patients, the differences between Chinese and western scales in evaluating mild cognitive impairment after stroke were compared. On the basis of "disease differentiation, syndrome differentiation and meridian differentiation", the syndrome differentiation and treatment system of mild cognitive impairment after stroke was preliminarily constructed, and the TCM syndrome prediction model was improved.

A Randomized Controlled Study on the Treatment of Moderate Depressive Disorder With Cheek Acupuncture
This study intends to use a randomized controlled clinical study to clarify the clinical efficacy of cheek acupuncture therapy in patients with moderate depressive disorder. And also to find the antidepressant mechanism of cheek acupuncture therapy on moderate depressive disorder by using resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging. The specific method is to randomly assign 126 patients with moderate depressive disorder to cheek acupuncture group, sham cheek acupuncture group and drug group, evaluate the treatment effect with HAMD-17, PSQI and HAMA, observe the improvement of cheek acupuncture on depression, anxiety and sleep quality of patients with moderate depressive disorder, and observe the changes of functional links in various brain regions of patients in each group before and after treatment through resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging technology.

The Efficacy of Laser Acupuncture on the Diabetes-induced Peripheral Neuropathy: Basic and Clinical Research
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is one of the microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus. This can lead to painful and costly clinical sequelae such as foot ulcers, amputation, and neuropathic pain. There are several novel diagnostic methods available for complementary to clinical assessment and may help in the early detection of DPN. However, treatments for DPN and painful DPN are limited. We will conduct a pilot, single-center, randomized controlled trial in patients with DPN to verify the effect of the laser acupuncture on DPN. With designed inclusion and exclusion criteria, 30 eligible participants will be randomized with 1:1 allocation ratio to the following two groups:(1) the laser acupuncture group (N=15), (2) the sham laser acupuncture group (N=15). Each participant will receive 24 interventions within 8 weeks, three times per week. Participants follow the laser acupuncture protocol in our study. All participants will be clinically assessed by (1) Michigan Neuropathy Screening Instrument (MNSI), (2) questionnaires (BPI(SF)-DPN) for diabetic neuropathic pain assessment, and (3) nerve conduction test. This research project will validate our novel preliminary findings demonstrating neuroprotective effects of laser acupuncture treatment. Importantly, our data are expected to elucidate how laser acupuncture induces neuroprotection in the clinical setting and provide a scientific base for developing new approaches in the treatment of DPN.

Acupuncture in Infantile Colic - A Randomised Trial.
About 10 per cent of all new born babies in Sweden have infant colic. This may affect the the whole family and the early connection between the baby and the parents. Although, there are no effective and safe treatment. Acupuncture is an environmental friendly method that affects pain, anxiety, sleep and the function of gastrointestinal system. Several studies have shown various results, and there are a need for high-qualitative randomised controlled trials to investigate the proposed effect further. 128 children will be randomised into two groups; acupuncture at LI4 or no acupuncture, parents will be blinded. Statistical calculations will be performed on the content of the diaries (bowel movement frequency, crying time, feeding). Registration of crying/crying in connection with acupuncture treatment, i.e. when the needle touches the skin or later until the needle is removed and 30 seconds after.
