Acupuncture for the Treatment of Medication-Dependent Hypotension in Heart Failure
Acupuncture is believed to increase blood pressure in people who struggle with low blood pressure. This is a common problem facing people with heart failure, and sometimes these people need to take medications to artificially increase their blood pressure.

The Effectiveness of Acupuncture for Complications in Critically Ill Patients: Multiple Centers a Double-Blind Randomized Control Trial
Introduction: Intensive care unit (ICU) is a special department in the health care facility. Although with high development of modern medicine nowadays, the average mortality rate in ICU is still around 7 to 20 %. There are a few tricky problems that intensivists and ICU nurses faced very often, including ICU delirium, arrhythmia and poor digestion problem that will all affect the mortality and morbidity rate of critical care patients. Methods: A randomized control trial will examine the effect of press tack acupuncture vs. press tack placebos. The patients will be randomly divided (1:1) into one of two groups. A total of 80 ICU patients will have to meet the following criteria: age 20-90, newly ICU admission(<48 hours), APACHE score <30, one or no inotropic medicine use, FiO2< 60%. Three interventions will be given in each group. The main outcomes will be the incidence of arrhythmia, delirium, and poor digestion and the severity of pain. We will also record ICU mortality, ICU stays and hospital days.

A Randomized Controlled Study on the Short-term Intervention of Acupuncture in the Freeze-all IVF Cycle to Improve Pregnancy Rate
In the early stage, our team found that Acupuncture intervention in freeze-all IVF cycles can improve the clinical pregnancy rate. In order to further study the role of Acupuncture in improving the pregnancy outcome of IVF-ET in infertility. A randomized controlled clinical trial will be used in this study. 90 infertile patients are randomly divided into two groups. The control group will be treated with conventional modern medicine, and the treatment group will be treated with Acupuncture on the basis of conventional modern medicine. The intervention starts from the 5th day of the menstrual cycle and lasts to the day before IVF-ET. The number of oocytes, antral follicles, AMH, serum FSH, and clinical pregnancy rate will be observed to evaluate the effect of Acupuncture on the improvement of pregnancy outcome. In addition, all of the participants will be asked to complete the self-evaluation of the anxiety/depression scale on the 7th day of the menstrual cycle, before and after transplantation, to analyze the emotional changes of the subjects during the study. We observe the safety and health economic indicators of Acupuncture treatment, so as to improve the overall efficacy of TCM Combined Application in assisted reproductive technology in the future.
