Ziel dieser Arbeit war die Betrachtung der Leitbahnen der Akupunktur unter wissenschaftlichen Gesichtspunkten. Bereits während der Recherchen wurde deutlich, dass dieses Thema auf mehreren Ebenen zu bearbeiten ist. Zunächst wurde daher der zeitliche Rahmen der Entstehung der Akupunktur im Allgemeinen und der Veterinärakupunktur im Besonderen eingegrenzt, die Bedeutung der Veterinärakupunktur im Alten China untersucht und die Beschreibung und Darstellung der Leitbahnen und Punkte beim Tier thematisiert (Kap. 3). Anschließend wurde eine Einführung in die theoretischen Grundlagen gegeben, ihre Entstehung und Entwicklung vor allem unter historischen und soziokulturellen Gesichtspunkten und zuletzt im medizinischen Kontext beschrieben (Kap. 4). Im Folgenden wurde der Versuch des Nachweises der Leitbahnen in naturwissenschaftlichem Kontext anhand verschiedener methodischer Beispiele untersucht (Kap. 5). Schließlich wurden die Ergebnisse zusammengefasst, untereinander sowie mit Aspekten der Forschung zur Punktspezifität in einen Kontext gestellt und abschließend eine Einschätzung des Stellenwertes der Leitbahnen in der (tier)medizinischen Praxis gegeben (Kap. 6). Anhand der Quellenlage kann die Entwicklung der Akupunktur ab etwa 200 v. Chr. nachvollzogen werden, wobei Nachweise für die Tierakupunktur erst in der Sui-Zeit (581 – 618 n. Chr.) vorliegen. Aus dem Alten China sind keine Darstellungen der Leitbahnen bekannt, eine Einteilung erfolgt eher nach den Körperregionen. Erst im Europa der 1950er Jahre werden Leitbahnkarten für Tiere durch Transposition entwickelt. Die Akupunktur ist eine Teildisziplin der sogenannten Entsprechungsmedizin. Als solche sind die ihr zugrundeliegenden Theorien ein Ergebnis der politischen und sozialen Veränderungen zwischen der Zeit der streitenden Reiche (481 – 221 v. Chr.) und der Han-Zeit (202 v. Chr. – 220 n. Chr.), die danach über etwa 1700 Jahre nie grundlegend in Frage gestellt wurden. Dieser theoretische Rahmen hat in China selbst nur geringe praktische Relevanz, während ihm im Westen als Abgrenzung gegenüber der konventionellen Medizin und um den Wunschvorstellungen einer idealen alternativen Therapiemethode zu entsprechen eine deutlich größere Rolle zukommt. Ein Nachweis der Existenz der Leitbahnen wurde vielfach versucht, konnte jedoch nicht erbracht werden. Einige Ergebnisse dieser Arbeiten und auch vieler Wirksamkeitsstudien zeigen, dass es sich bei der Akupunktur um ein multifaktorielles Therapiekonzept handelt. Besonders hervorzuheben ist die rezeptive und transmissive Rolle des Nervensystems auf unterschiedlichen Funktions- und Integrationsebenen. Die Leitbahnen als Linien auf der Körperoberfläche haben rein deskriptiven Charakter, um eine Anzahl von Punkten zu verbinden. Allerdings deutet einiges darauf hin, dass eher von sensiblen und effektiven Zonen gesprochen werden müsste. In diesem Rahmen ist es nicht sinnvoll, an einer Kartographie von Punkt und Linie festzuhalten. Zu eng sind hier die Beziehungen zur sozio-historisch bedingten Theorie, die die physiologisch-anatomischen Gegebenheiten nicht adäquat wiedergibt. Die weitere Forschung auf dem Gebiet der Akupunktur muss weiterhin um Aufklärung der Wirkmechanismen bemüht sein. Gleichzeitig muss eine objektive Quantifizierung der Akupunkturwirkungen erfolgen, um sinnvolle Einsatzbereiche zu definieren.

Bakgrund: Ångest är en folksjukdom som cirka 25 % av befolkningen drabbas av någon gång i sitt liv. Behandlingsmetoderna är få, så som läkemedelsbehandling, och innebär ofta ett patogent förhållningssätt till patienten. Ett av sjuksköterskans ansvarsområden är omvårdnad, och enligt kompetensbeskrivningen ska hen främja hälsa och omvårdnad med ett salutogent förhållningssätt. Integrativ vård, så som akupunktur, riktar sig mot att främja just hälsa och det salutogena. Akupunktur används idag inom psykiatrin, men ingår inte i sjuksköterskans grundutbildning. Information om behandling och effekt förväntas ändå att ges trots den bristande kunskapen. Syfte: Syftet var att ur ett patientperspektiv beskriva upplevelsen av akupunkturbehandling vid ångest. Metod: Litteraturstudien bygger på sex kvalitativa artiklar, som hämtats från olika databaser. En manifest innehållsanalys gjordes för att få fram den data ur artiklarna som svarade an på syftet och som bildade resultatet. Resultat: Det framkom tre kategorier av patientens upplevelse, dessa var: lindring, oro samt hopp och välmående. Majoriteten av patienterna upplevde en stark ångestlindring och svarar då an på den här studiens syfte. Övriga upplevelser var att läkemedelsbehovet kunde minskas, och att akupunkturbehandlingen gav en känsla av hopp och ökat välmående. Ett visst obehag kunde infinna sig hos patienterna. Trots obehag upplevde samtliga patienter behandlingen som mycket positiv. Slutsats: Denna studie styrker akupunkturens lindrande effekt på ångest och positiva inverkan på omvårdnad. Författarnas förförståelse har blivit bekräftad. Det finns svagheter i studien gällande generaliserbarhet, grundat i det bristande underlaget, samt tillförlitlighet gällande författarnas bristande erfarenheter att utföra en liknande studie. Mer forskning krävs inom ämnet. / Background: Anxiety is a common disease that approximately 25% of Sweden's population suffers from at some point in their lives. The treatment methods are few and often imply a pathogenic approach to the patient, such as drug treatment. One of the nurse's area of responsibility is patient care, and according to the nurse's competence description he or she shall promote health and nursing with a salutogenic approach. Integrative medicine, as acupuncture, is aimed at promoting health and the salutogenic. Acupuncture is used today in psychiatry, but is not included in the nurse education, information about treatment and efficacy are expected to be given despite the lack of knowledge. Objective: The objective was that from a patient perspective describe the experience of acupuncture treatment for anxiety. Method: The literature study is based on six qualitative articles, taken from different databases. A manifest content analysis was done to obtain the data from the articles who responded to their purpose and which formed the result. Results: Three categories of patient experience were found, these were: relief, discomfort and hope and well being. The majority of patients experienced a strong anxiety relief and then responds to the purpose of this study. Other experience was that medicine needs were reduced and that the acupuncture treatment gave a sense of hope and increased well being. Some discomfort could appear in the patients. Despite the discomfort, all patients experienced the treatment as very positive. Conclusion: This study proves acupuncture effect on relieving anxiety and positive impact on nursing care. The authors' preconception has become probable. There are weaknesses in the study that concerns generalizability due to the lack of existing research as well as reliability in the authors' lack of experience to carry out a similar study. More research is needed on the subject.

Si l’alternative est de nos jours et dans nos sociétés occidentales un concept de plus en plus en vogue, son caractère lui, en demeure pas moins ambigu. En effet, et alors même que nombre de pratiques dites alternatives émergent de part et d’autre de la société, en faire allusion dans certains domaines équivaut à s’affliger soi-même d’une étiquette sur laquelle serait inscrite « New-Age » en caractère gras. Pourtant, son caractère loin d’évoquer cette seule dimension, semble par ailleurs être conséquente d un déséquilibre de plus en plus prégnant au sein même des prérogatives de l’État. Ce mémoire tente donc de rendre compte de ce phénomène tout en investiguant les répercussions de cette asymétrie sur l’intégration de pratiques médicales alternatives au Québec. Ceci dans l’intention non seulement d’explorer davantage la nature de la relation entre médecine alternative et biomédecine, mais aussi afin de poser un nouveau regard sur son expansion. Un regard, lequel permettrait potentiellement de poser les jalons nécessaires à un espace de conciliation entre les médecines, lequel découlerait alors d’un nouvel équilibre au cœur des prérogatives mêmes de l’État. / If the alternative is to our days and in our western societies a concept more and more in vogue, its character remains ambiguous. In effect, and even that number of practices called “alternatives” emerge on both sides of the society, in referring to in some areas is equivalent to plague itself-even a label on which would be marked “New-Age” in bold. Yet, its character far from referring to this single dimension, seems also be consistent to a more and more significant unbalance within the prerogatives of the State. This dissertation therefore attempts to account for this phenomenon while inquiry into the repercussions of this asymmetry on the integration of alternative medical practices in Quebec. This with the intention not only to further explore the nature of the relationship between alternative medicine and biomedicine, but also in order to install a new look on its expansion. A look, which would potentially lay the groundwork necessary to a space of conciliation between the medicines and which would lead to a new balance in the heart of the prerogatives of the State.

Este estudo com mulheres da maior favela do Ceará, no Nordeste do Brasil, verificou os efeitos de uma IBM em mulheres com cefaleia crônica sob risco social. Método: Estudo de eficácia preliminar, exploratório, quasi-experimental, de abordagem mista (quanti e qualitativa), que avaliou o impacto de uma IBM em mulheres usuárias do SUS com relação à incapacidade nas atividades da vida diária (Midas) decorrente da cefaleia crônica (desfecho primário), além de variáveis secundárias como nível de mindfulness, injustiça percebida e autocompaixão. Uma intervenção com acupuntura foi o grupo controle ativo. Resultados: O perfil das participantes foi: (44,5%) casadas; (51,3%) com até 2 filhos; (63,9%) nível fundamental; (53,8%) com renda de 1 a 2 salários-mínimos e (72,21%) com cefaleia crônica, sendo (63,3%) enxaqueca e (8,8%) cefaleia de tensão. A cefaleia está associada à baixa escolaridade, à baixa renda familiar (p<0,05) e a eventos emocionais negativos na vida. Nos autorrelatos, foram categorizados quatro determinantes sociais de saúde causadores de distress psicológico: papel social da mulher na comunidade; busca recorrente aos serviços de saúde; abuso de medicamentos e estratégias de enfrentamento disfuncionais. O distress psicológico estava na base das crises recorrentes de cefaleia. Na comparação dentro dos grupos IBM e acupuntura, IBM promoveu diminuição no nível da incapacidade da cefaleia indicado pelos autorrelatos, mas não por Midas; aumento da autocompaixão (p<0,05); aumento de do nível de mindfulness (p<0,05), enquanto que acupuntura promoveu diminuição apenas em Midas (p<0,05). Houve diminuição da injustiça percebida em ambos os grupos, mas não estatisticamente significante (p>0,05). Na comparação entre grupos, IBM apresentou níveis maiores de autocompaixão e de mindfulness que no grupo acupuntura, com diferença estatisticamente significante (p<0,05). Houve correlações estatisticamente significantes entre Midas e injustiça percebida (p<0,001) e Midas e mindfulness (p<0,05). No modelo de regressão, apenas injustiça percebida influenciou Midas (p<0,001), corroborando os autorrelatos que destacaram esse sentimento negativo na gênese da cefaleia. Considerações finais e Conclusão e: Esse é o primeiro estudo em nível internacional a avaliar os efeitos de uma IBM em população de mulheres com cefaleia crônica e vulneráveis socialmente, comparados com os da acupuntura. As duas intervenções foram efetivas para a redução da incapacidade da cefaleia, sendo que atuando através de mecanismos distintos. Os resultados sugerem que IBM influenciou positivamente a dor através de processos mentais e emocionais (controle atencional, consciência corporal e regulação emocional), o que não ocorreu em relação ao grupo acupuntura. Os efeitos da IBM e da acupuntura na cefaleia crônica das participantes demonstraram preliminar potencial eficácia de práticas mente-corpo em populações vulneráveis socioeconomicamente. / Introduction: Mindfulness-based interventions may be effective for complementary management of primary headaches in socially vulnerable populations. This study with women from the largest favela in Ceará, Northeast Brazil, verified the effects of an IBM in women with chronic headache at social risk. Method: Preliminary, exploratory, quasi-experimental, mixed-approach (quantitative and qualitative) efficacy study evaluating the impact of an IBM on women users of SUS in relation to the disability in daily life activities (Midas) due to chronic headache (Primary outcome), as well as secondary variables such as level of mindfulness, perceived injustice and self-pity. One intervention with acupuncture was the active control group. Results: The participants' profile was: (44.5%) married; (51.3%) with up to 2 children; (63.9%) fundamental level; (53.8%) with income of 1 to 2 minimum wages and (72.21%) with chronic headache, being (63.3%) migraine and (8.8%) tension headache. Headache is associated with low schooling, low family income (p <0.05) and negative emotional events in life. In the self-reports, four social determinants of health that caused psychological distress were categorized: the social role of women in the community; Recurrent search for health services; Drug abuse and dysfunctional coping strategies. Psychological distress was at the basis of recurrent headache crises In the comparison within the IBM groups and acupuncture, IBM promoted a decrease in the level of headache inability indicated by self-reported but not by Midas; Increased self-pity (p <0.05); Increased level of mindfulness (p <0.05), whereas acupuncture promoted a decrease only in Midas (p <0.05). There was a decrease in perceived injustice in both groups, but not statistically significant (p> 0.05). In the comparison between groups, IBM presented higher levels of self-pity and mindfulness than in the acupuncture group, with a statistically significant difference (p <0.05). There were statistically significant correlations between Midas and perceived injustice (p <0.001) and Midas and mindfulness (p <0.05). In the regression model, only perceived injustice influenced Midas (p <0.001), corroborating the self-reports that highlighted this negative feeling in the genesis of headache. Final considerations and conclusions: This is the first international study to evaluate the effects of an IBM on a population of women with chronic and socially vulnerable headache compared to acupuncture. The two interventions were effective in reducing the incapacity of headache, and acting through different mechanisms. The results suggest that IBM positively influenced pain through mental and emotional processes (attention control, body awareness and emotional regulation), which did not occur in relation to the acupuncture group. The effects of IBM and acupuncture on chronic headache of the participants demonstrated preliminary potential efficacy of mind-body practices in socioeconomically vulnerable populations. / BV UNIFESP: Teses e dissertações

A dor em membros inferiores é muito comum em atletas e pode representar um aspecto limitante ao rendimento. De acordo com estudos epidemiológicos, entre 27% e 70% dos corredores apresentam algum tipo de lesão durante o período de um ano, que causa desconforto durante os treinos e gera desempenho abaixo do esperado em competições. Na busca da atenuação e/ou solução para a dor de atletas corredores, a acupuntura pode ser benéfica, já que esta técnica é conhecida pelos seus efeitos de analgesia aplicados em região de joelho. O objetivo deste estudo foi de analisar os parâmetros relacionados à dor de joelho correlacionando os parâmetros de força das musculaturas avaliadas em corredores submetidos ao tratamento de acupuntura. Foi realizado um estudo descritivo no período de janeiro a junho de 2015, com 34 corredores, com idade de 20 a 52 anos, de ambos os sexos, que apresentassem dor em região de joelho. Os voluntários preencheram o Questionário de Dor McGill e a Escala Visual Analógica e foram submetidos ao teste de força máxima com avaliação eletromiográfica dos músculos reto femoral, vasto lateral e vasto medial e avaliação de força do quadríceps. Receberam semanalmente cinco atendimentos seguindo o protocolo de acupuntura desenvolvido neste estudo. Após, foram novamente submetidos ao teste de força e preenchimento do questionário e da escala de dor. Todos os voluntários relataram sentir diminuição da dor de joelho após o tratamento, que foi avaliada por meio do Questionário de Dor McGill que obteve inicialmente mediana de 17,5 e após o tratamento, 6,5 (melhora de 62,9%). E por meio da Escala Visual Analógica (EVA), que inicialmente obteve média de 6,0 e após o tratamento, média de 3,0 (melhora de 50,0%) e p<0,001 para ambos. A média de força do membro afetado foi de 20kgf e esta foi aumentada para 27kgf após o tratamento (incremento de 34% e p<0,001). Para o membro contralateral, a força média inicial era de 22kgf e após o tratamento foi de 27,90kgf (incremento de 25% e p<0,001). Para comprovar o ganho de força por meio da amplitude do sinal eletromiográfico, verificou-se aumento no número de recrutamento de unidades motoras para os três músculos avaliados em ambos os membros. O músculo reto femoral do membro afetado teve incremento de 43% (p<0,001), o músculo vasto medial de 25% (p<0,001) e vasto lateral de 16% (p=0,025). Para o membro contralateral, o músculo reto femoral teve incremento de 17% (p=0,023), o músculo vasto medial de 32% (p=0,029) e o músculo vasto lateral de 27% (p=0,002). Quanto à frequência mediana não houve diferença na velocidade de condução dos potenciais de ação, em ambos os membros. Conclui-se que o protocolo proposto se mostrou eficaz na diminuição da sintomatologia dolorosa em região de joelhos de atletas corredores, interferindo no ganho de força e no equilíbrio muscular. / Pain in the lower members is very common in athletes and may represent a limiting aspect to income. According to epidemiological studies, between 27% and 70% of the runners have some type of injury during the period of one year, which causes discomfort during practice and generates poor performance in competitions. In the pursuit of mitigation and / or solution to the pain of running athletes, acupuncture may be beneficial, as this technique is known for its analgesic effects applied on knee area. The objective of this study was to analyze parameters related to knee pain correlating the musculature strength parameters evaluated in corridors undergoing acupuncture treatment. It conducted a descriptive study from January to June 2015 with 34 runners, aged 20-52 years, of both sexes, who presented pain in the knee region. Volunteers completed the McGill Pain Questionnaire and the Visual Analogue Scale and were subjected to the maximum force test with electromyographic evaluation of the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis and vastus and quadriceps strength evaluation. They received five weekly attendances following the acupuncture protocol developed for this study. After, they were again subjected to strength testing and completing the questionnaire and the pain scale. All volunteers reported feeling decrease knee pain after treatment, which was assessed using the McGill Pain Questionnaire initially obtained median of 17.5 and after treatment, 6.5 (62.9% improvement). And through the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), which initially had an median of 6.0 and after the average treatment of 3.0 (an improvement of 50.0%) and p <0.001 for both. The affected limb mean strength was 20kgf and 27kgf this was increased to after treatment (34% increment and p <0.001). For the contralateral member, the initial average strength was 22kgf and after treatment was 28kgf (increase of 25% and p <0.001). To prove the strength gain through the amplitude of the electromyographic signal, there was an increase in the number of motor unit recruitment for the three muscles evaluated in both members. The affected member of the rectus femoris muscle had increased by 43% (p <0.001), vastusvmuscle of 25% (p <0.001) and vastus lateralis of 16% (p = 0.025). For the contralateral leg, the rectus femoris muscle was increased by 17% (p = 0.023), the vastus medialis of 32% (p = 0.029) and lateral vastus 27% (p = 0.002). The median frequency no difference in conduction velocity of action potentials in both members. It is concluded that the proposed protocol is effective in reducing painful symptoms in knees region runners athletes, interfering with the gain in strength and muscle balance.

Após, foram novamente submetidos ao teste de força e preenchimento do questionário e da escala de dor. Todos os voluntários relataram sentir diminuição da dor de joelho após o tratamento, que foi avaliada por meio do Questionário de Dor McGill que obteve inicialmente mediana de 17,5 e após o tratamento, 6,5 (melhora de 62,9%). E por meio da Escala Visual Analógica (EVA), que inicialmente obteve média de 6,0 e após o tratamento, média de 3,0 (melhora de 50,0%) e p<0,001 para ambos. A média de força do membro afetado foi de 20kgf e esta foi aumentada para 27kgf após o tratamento (incremento de 34% e p<0,001). Para o membro contralateral, a força média inicial era de 22kgf e após o tratamento foi de 27,90kgf (incremento de 25% e p<0,001). Para comprovar o ganho de força por meio da amplitude do sinal eletromiográfico, verificou-se aumento no número de recrutamento de unidades motoras para os três músculos avaliados em ambos os membros. O músculo reto femoral do membro afetado teve incremento de 43% (p<0,001), o músculo vasto medial de 25% (p<0,001) e vasto lateral de 16% (p=0,025). Para o membro contralateral, o músculo reto femoral teve incremento de 17% (p=0,023), o músculo vasto medial de 32% (p=0,029) e o músculo vasto lateral de 27% (p=0,002). Quanto à frequência mediana não houve diferença na velocidade de condução dos potenciais de ação, em ambos os membros. Conclui-se que o protocolo proposto se mostrou eficaz na diminuição da sintomatologia dolorosa em região de joelhos de atletas corredores, interferindo no ganho de força e no equilíbrio muscular. / Pain in the lower members is very common in athletes and may represent a limiting aspect to income. According to epidemiological studies, between 27% and 70% of the runners have some type of injury during the period of one year, which causes discomfort during practice and generates poor performance in competitions. In the pursuit of mitigation and / or solution to the pain of running athletes, acupuncture may be beneficial, as this technique is known for its analgesic effects applied on knee area. The objective of this study was to analyze parameters related to knee pain correlating the musculature strength parameters evaluated in corridors undergoing acupuncture treatment. It conducted a descriptive study from January to June 2015 with 34 runners, aged 20-52 years, of both sexes, who presented pain in the knee region. Volunteers completed the McGill Pain Questionnaire and the Visual Analogue Scale and were subjected to the maximum force test with electromyographic evaluation of the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis and vastus and quadriceps strength evaluation. They received five weekly attendances following the acupuncture protocol developed for this study. After, they were again subjected to strength testing and completing the questionnaire and the pain scale. All volunteers reported feeling decrease knee pain after treatment, which was assessed using the McGill Pain Questionnaire initially obtained median of 17.5 and after treatment, 6.5 (62.9% improvement). And through the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), which initially had an median of 6.0 and after the average treatment of 3.0 (an improvement of 50.0%) and p <0.001 for both. The affected limb mean strength was 20kgf and 27kgf this was increased to after treatment (34% increment and p <0.001). For the contralateral member, the initial average strength was 22kgf and after treatment was 28kgf (increase of 25% and p <0.001). To prove the strength gain through the amplitude of the electromyographic signal, there was an increase in the number of motor unit recruitment for the three muscles evaluated in both members. The affected member of the rectus femoris muscle had increased by 43% (p <0.001), vastusvmuscle of 25% (p <0.001) and vastus lateralis of 16% (p = 0.025). For the contralateral leg, the rectus femoris muscle was increased by 17% (p = 0.023), the vastus medialis of 32% (p = 0.029) and lateral vastus 27% (p = 0.002). The median frequency no difference in conduction velocity of action potentials in both members. It is concluded that the proposed protocol is effective in reducing painful symptoms in knees region runners athletes, interfering with the gain in strength and muscle balance.
