Effect of Acupuncture on the Microbiota-gut-brain Axis in Crohn's Disease
Multidisciplinary techniques such as multimodal neuroimaging, microbiology, and bioinformatics were applied to study the differences in correlation characteristics between gut microbes, functional brain networks, and peripheral inflammation among patients with active Crohn's disease (CD), CD in remission, and healthy subjects.

Clinical Trial With Two Branches to Study the Effect of Semi-permanent Acupuncture at Specific Acupuncture Points on Reducing the Number of Inductions During Labor in Women at Low or Moderate Risk
Cervical ripening is a medical treatment that can cause physical or emotional discomfort in pregnant women and is not without risks. This is a pilot study to assess feasibility and calculate the number of participants necessary for a complete clinical trial. The aim is to evaluate whether acupuncture can reduce the need for treatment (cervical ripening) in pregnant women at low or intermediate risk. Participants will be divided into two groups: one group will receive acupuncture, and the other will receive a simulated treatment of acupuncture.

Predicting the Clinical Efficacy of Acupuncture for Abdominal Pain in Patients With Crohn's Disease Based on Gut Microbiology and Machine Learning
Machine learning algorithms are applied to discover gut flora markers that predict the clinical efficacy of acupuncture, so as to screen the appropriate population for acupuncture and optimise the allocation of healthcare resources.

Effect of Acupuncture on the Gait Disturbance and Hemodynamic Changes in the Prefrontal Cortex: Study Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial
Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by cognitive impairment and behavioral impairment, and increasing attention is paid in the gait of AD patients. The aim of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to explore the effect of acupuncture on the cognitive function, gait performance, and hemodynamic changes in the prefrontal cortices. Methods: In this RCT, a total of 108 AD patients will be randomly assigned into acupuncture group or control group for 8 weeks. The primary outcome will be Three-dimensional gait analysis and cerebral hemodynamics using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). Secondary outcomes include Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), and Barthel Index (BI). Discussion: This trial is expected to explore the effect of acupuncture on cognitive function, gait performance, and hemodynamic changes in the prefrontal cortices for AD patients.

Acupuncture to Improve Outcomes in Sepsis Patient: The ACTIONS Trial
Researchers think acupuncture may improve outcomes for participants with sepsis, based on laboratory studies and previous studies in people with sepsis. The purpose of this study to see whether real acupuncture can improve outcomes for participants with sepsis when compared to sham acupuncture. Sham acupuncture is performed the same way as real acupuncture but will use different needles and target different sites or places on the body than real acupuncture.

Effects of Acupuncture on Symptoms of Stable Angina: A Randomized Controlled Trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if a standardized 12-point acupuncture protocol will reduce pain in participants with stable angina. This study addresses the critical need to reduce persistent pain for angina. The investigators long-term goal is symptom management for diverse women and men with angina, targeting additional angina burden borne of social disadvantage Participants will be randomized to a 10-acupuncture session protocol, two treatments per week for five weeks, or an attention control group. Participants will view designated, non-pain related Technology, Entertainment, Design Talks equal to the time spent receiving acupuncture (~7.5-10 hrs.). The investigators will test the efficacy of acupuncture for stable angina/chest pain syndrome to reduce pain and symptoms, improve health-related quality of life, reduce healthcare utilization and and improve patient related health outcomes.
