Abstract

The incidence of overweight in adults is increasing over time. Being overweight is a body condition that results in excessive fat mass. Overweight is caused by many factors, including age, physical activity, gender, hormones, genetics, and environment. Acupuncture therapy can be used as a support for weight loss efforts because acupuncture can affect the central nervous system and activate specific areas in the brain. This study aims to determine the effect of ear and body acupuncture therapy on reducing waist circumference and body mass index in overweight cases at the Rinjani Sragen Gymnastics Studio. This study used a quantitative method of research using a “Quasi-Experimental” research design. The study sample was 45 people who were divided into 3 treatment groups, namely group I ear acupuncture therapy, group II ear and body acupuncture therapy, and group III body acupuncture therapy. The study began in January to March 2025 and was conducted at the Rinjani Sragen Gymnastics Studio. One-way ANOVA test analysis on waist circumference has a significant value of ρ of 0.017 (ρ <0.050) and for body mass index, p=0.004 (ρ <0.050), which means that ear and body acupuncture therapy affects reducing waist circumference and body mass index in overweight cases.

Abstract

Hypertension is one of the main risk factors for cardiovascular disease, whose prevalence continues to increase. Electroacupuncture therapy with a combination of noni herbs can be an alternative treatment option in lowering blood pressure in patients with hypertension. This study aims to determine the effect of electroacupuncture therapy with a combination of noni herbs on lowering blood pressure in patients with hypertension at Ja'far Medika Hospital, Karanganyar. This study used a “Quasi-Experimental” research design with the Non-equivalent two-group pretest-posttest design method. with a purposive sampling method. This design uses a non-randomized trial in each experimental group Pretest was given to research subjects before intervention, and posttest was given to research subjects after intervention. The number of samples used was 34 research subjects which were then divided into 2 control groups and experimental groups. The results of the Mann-Whitney test showed that there were changes in systolic blood pressure p=0.022 and diastolic blood pressure had a value of p=0.023 which showed significant differences between the two groups, with the intervention group (electroacupuncture with a combination of noni herbs) showing more significant changes compared to the control group (sham electroacupuncture) Wilcoxon test showed a statistically significant decrease in blood pressure in both groups (p<0.001). Electroacupuncture therapy with a combination of noni herbs has more effect on reducing systolic and diastolic blood pressure in hypertensive patients at Ja'far Medika Hospital, Karanganyar.

Abstract

Neck pain is one of the musculoskeletal disorders due to several causative factors, one of which is ergonomic factors at work. Electroacupuncture and gua sha therapy have been widely used as alternative treatment methods to help reduce pain and improve functional ability in neck pain. This study aims to determine the effect of electroacupuncture and gua sha on reducing pain scale and neck disability. This study employed a double-blind randomized controlled trial (RCT) with a true experimental design. A total of 34 subjects were selected using simple random sampling from a population of 40, with 6 additional participants prepared as reserves. The intervention group received electroacupuncture at points GB 20 (Fengchi), GB 21 (Jianjing), and Gua Sha, while the control group received only electroacupuncture at GB 20 and GB 21. Pain intensity and neck disability were measured using the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and Neck Disability Index (NDI) before and after 10 sessions of therapy. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate tests, including tests of normality, homogeneity, and hypothesis testing, to assess the effectiveness of the interventions. Both the intervention group (electroacupuncture combined with Gua Sha) and the control group (electroacupuncture only) showed a significant reduction in pain intensity and neck disability, as measured by the NRS and NDI scores (p < 0.05). However, the reduction was greater in the intervention group, indicating a more pronounced effect when Gua Sha was added to electroacupuncture therapy. combination of electroacupuncture with Gua Sha provides greater clinical benefits compared to electroacupuncture alone

Abstract

Hypertension is high blood pressure with systolic values above 140 mmHg and diastolic values above 90 mmHg. Acupuncture therapy with a combination of rosella tea steeping is a nonpharmacological treatment that has been shown to have an effect in lowering blood pressure. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of acupuncture therapy with a combination of Rosella tea steeping on changes in blood pressure in cases of hypertension in Krajan Hamlet, Mojosongo. This study used a "Quasi-Experimental Design" research design with a nonequivalent control group design method. The number of research subjects was 32 people with a purposive sampling technique, which was divided into a control group (consumption of rosella tea brew) and an experimental group (acupuncture combination of rosella tea brew). The results of the Mann-Whitney test obtained a significance value of p<0.001, so Ha is accepted and H0 is rejected. In conclusion, acupunc­ture therapy with a combination of rosella tea brewing shows significant results in reducing blood pressure in cases of hypertension in Krajan Hamlet, Mojosongo.

Abstract

Obesity is a problem in various countries, not only in developed countries but also in developing countries. Central obesity occurs due to excessive fat accumulation in the upper body, especially in the abdomen, which is generally in men and is characterized by an increase in waist circumference. Central obesity occurs due to excessive adipocyte expansion which can cause hypoxia and oxidative stress, resulting in further inflammation. Obesity can cause coronary heart disease, hypertension, stroke, insulin resistance, Diabetes Mellitus (DM), hyperlipidemia and cancer. This study aims to determine glycemic and inflammatory markers and obtain acupuncture therapy models in obesity cases. This study was designed as a quasi-experiment using the Pre-Post Design with obesity cases. The study was conducted in 3 stages (three years). Each series of acupuncture therapy was carried out 8 times. This study was conducted in three series (for 3 years, each year 1 series of acupuncture therapy). Haematologic and lipid examinations were carried out 2 times before therapy and after the 8th therapy in the first year. Liver function tests, insulin hormone tests and HBA1C tests were performed twice before therapy and after the 8th therapy in the second year. Kidney function tests were performed twice before therapy and after the 8th therapy in the third year. Laboratory results were analyzed using SPPS 23 statistical software to see their significance. Laboratory values were used in mathematical modeling to obtain the right acupuncture therapy model for obesity cases.
