Abstract

Low back pain is a common musculoskeletal disorder that can reduce a patient's quality of life. From the perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this condition is often associated with Cold-Damp Bi syndrome accompanied by Qi and Xue stagnation and Yang deficiency. This study aims to determine the scale of back pain in participants before and after receiving acupuncture treatment. The research method used was a case study, acupuncture treatment approach at the Shenshu (BL23), Dachangshu (BL25), and Weizhong (BL40) points for 20 minutes, performed six times with a 3-day interval between sessions. Evaluation was carried out using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain measurement tool. The results showed a gradual decrease in pain intensity from a scale of 8 in the first session to a scale of 2 in the sixth session, with a total reduction of 75%. In addition, there was an improvement in tenderness, as well as an increase in the patient's motor function and activity. The conclusion of this study is that acupuncture treatment is effective in reducing low back pain from a scale of 8 (severe pain) at the beginning of the session to a scale of 2 (mild pain) at the end of the sixth session. This therapy can be a safe alternative treatment for musculoskeletal pain.

Abstract

Cavernous angioma or cavernous malformation is a benign vascular abnormality that frequently occurs in the central nervous system and may cause neurological disturbances such as seizures, headache, motor weakness, and stroke. Conventional medical management of cavernous angioma remains limited, particularly in cases without surgical indications. Acupuncture, as a complementary therapy, may provide clinical benefits in reducing symptoms and improving patients’ quality of life. This study aimed to evaluate the benefits of acupuncture care using scalp acupuncture in a case of cavernous angioma. A qualitative case study approach was applied to one client at an independent acupuncture practice in Jakarta. Data were collected through four diagnostic methods of acupuncture (inspection, auscultation and olfaction, inquiry, palpation), medical diagnostic findings, and clinical evaluations before and after treatment. The results demonstrated that structured scalp acupuncture on motor, sensory, and chorea–tremor areas led to clinical improvement in the client’s main and additional complaints. Scalp acupuncture shows potential as a supportive modality in the management of cavernous angioma

Abstract

Constipation is a global health problem experienced by about 14% of the adult population and 30% of the elderly. Around 23% occurs in women and 11% in men in Asia, including Indonesia. The aim of the study was to provide acupuncture care for constipation cases at Sely Meting Independent Practice, Pluit, North Jakarta. The research method used was a case study, with a sample of 1 person using purposive sampling, and data collection was carried out using a client data sheet instrument (DSI). The acupuncture points used in the therapy were LI4, KI6, LI11, SP15, BL25, ST25, ST44. The therapy was provided in 12 sessions, twice a week for 6 weeks. The analysis of the case study results used content analysis. Research using the case study method found a significant difference between the first therapy session and the twelfth therapy session. Patient complaints in the final session improved from difficulty in bowel movements to normal. Acupuncture therapy at this point can be recommended to therapists in managing patients based on syndromes and a high-fibre diet therapy.
