To evaluate clinical effects of auricular acupuncture treatments for pain based on a revised auricular mapping and diagnostic paradigm (RAMP-uP).
Retrospective chart review.
A major US Veterans Affairs Medical Centre located in the Southeaster United States.
Pain and efficacy rating scores based on visual analogue scales during each clinical visit. Duration of acupuncture treatment effects based on clinic notes documentation.
Patients' average pain score decreased by almost 60% (p<0.0001). The treatment effects lasted 1-3 months (47%). The overall efficacy reported by most patients was helpful (83.6%).
The observed clinical effects of auricular acupuncture based on RAMP-uP are promising. Further research is needed to assess its feasibility to generalize and generate clinical effects in randomized controlled clinical trials.
基于修订后的耳穴图谱与诊断范式(RAMP-uP)评估耳针疗法治疗疼痛的临床效果。
回顾性病历审查。
位于美国东南部的一家大型退伍军人事务医疗中心。
每次临床就诊时基于视觉模拟量表的疼痛和疗效评分。基于临床记录文档的针刺治疗效果持续时间。
患者的平均疼痛评分下降了近60%(p<0.0001)。治疗效果持续1 - 3个月(47%)。大多数患者报告的总体疗效为有帮助(83.6%)。
基于RAMP-uP的耳针疗法所观察到的临床效果很有前景。需要进一步研究以评估其在随机对照临床试验中推广并产生临床效果的可行性。
