Auricular Acupuncture Stimulation for Chronic Pain
This proposal aims to investigate the treatment effect and underlying mechanism of transcutaneous acupuncture stimulation on chronic low back pain. We believe that this study, if successful, will provide new treatment options for chronic low back pain, reduce the use of opioid analgesics in chronic pain management, and enhance our understanding of the underlying mechanism of nerve stimulation treatment, as well as the pathophysiology and development of chronic pain.

Acupuncture Effect on Digestion in Critically Ill Post-Operative Oral and Hypo-pharyngeal Cancer Patients: A Protocol for Double Blind Randomized Control Trial
Background: Head and neck cancer patients are in high risk to suffer from malnourishment, a risk that increase in postoperative condition and with the use of enteral nutrition (EN). Until now patients who are suffering from indigestion in the ICU received treatment in the form of prokinetic drugs, drags that can lead to serious side effects and only can partially improve digestion. Acupuncture was used successfully in several clinical trials to improve postoperative indigestion in cancer patients without any reported adverse events. This study aims is to design a double blind settings in order to investigate acupuncture effect in combination of prokinetic drugs in the prevention of indigestion in postoperative oral and hypo-pharyngeal cancer patients in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Methods: Single center, double blind randomize control trial will compare between two equal groups. A total of 28 patients that will meet the inclusion criteria: Age 30-80, Post plastic surgery for oral cancer or hypo-pharyngeal cancer, Apache score below 20 needed EN. Patients will be randomly divided into specific acupuncture (ACU) or non-specific acupuncture (CON) for 3 treatments in 3 days by a blind acupuncturist along with prokinetic drugs. The main outcome measurement will be the amount of days a patient need to reach Total Energy Expenditure (TEE). Expected outcome: The results will shed light on the effectiveness and safety of acupuncture in a double blind design for posts-surgery ICU cancer patients. In addition, the study presents a revolutionary double blind design that if will prove as successful might influence the way double blind acupuncture studies are performed today.
