An attempt of treatment of hand ischemia caused by vibration using acupuncture has been undertaken in forest workers occupationally exposed to mechanical vibration in the early phase of vascular lesions. The workers have been treated in the Kołobrzeg city sanatorium. The control groups consisted of forest workers of similar age and analogous vascular lesions treated in the sanatorium by balneologic methods (mineral salt bath, underwater whirlpool massage) or by pharmacologic agents (Pridazol, Bametan); some of subjects of control groups have been treated only by the climate therapy without other additives. It has been stated that acupuncture significantly ameliorates or even normalizes the peripheral ischemia of upper extremities induced by vibration, analogously or even better than balneologic therapy. The duration of amelioration period was longer in subjects treated by acupuncture than in those treated with balneologic methods. In contrast, the pharmacologic treatment or the climate therapy remained without effects. The acupuncture therapy is cheaper than balneotherapy and could be used by trained industrial physicians in conditions o outpatient care. However, there is a need for further studies on detailed conditions of acupuncture therapy.
在血管病变早期职业性接触机械振动的林业工人中，已尝试使用针灸治疗由振动引起的手部缺血。这些工人在科沃布热格市疗养院接受治疗。对照组由年龄相仿、有类似血管病变的林业工人组成，他们在疗养院接受浴疗（矿盐浴、水下漩涡按摩）或药物治疗（普里达唑、巴美坦）；对照组的一些受试者仅接受气候疗法，无其他辅助治疗。结果表明，针灸能显著改善甚至使由振动引起的上肢外周缺血恢复正常，效果与浴疗相似甚至更好。针灸治疗改善期的持续时间比浴疗治疗的受试者更长。相比之下，药物治疗或气候疗法则无效。针灸疗法比浴疗便宜，经过培训的工业医生可在门诊条件下使用。然而，需要对针灸治疗的详细情况进行进一步研究。
