"Latar belakang: Seiring bertambahnya usia, kerut nasolabial (nasolabial fold /NLF) merupakan salah satu area wajah yang menjadi prioritas untuk dikoreksi. Diperlukan modalitas peremajaan wajah yang efektif dengan sesi terapi minimal untuk mengurangi jumlah kunjungan, salah satunya adalah akupunktur tanam benang (thread embedding acupuncture/TEA) Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk melihat efektivitas satu sesi TEA dibanding dengan 6 sesi terapi manual akupunktur (MA) untuk mengurangi NLF. Metode: Uji klinis acak terkontrol tersamar tunggal dilakukan pada total 30 wanita yang memenuhi kriteria inklusi. Peserta penelitian dialokasikan dalam 2 kelompok yaitu kelompok TEA yang mendapat 1 sesi terapi dan MA yang mendapat 6 sesi terapi. Dilakukan pengukuran panjang NLF menggunakan caliper vernier, skala Wrinkle Severity Rating Scale (WSRS) dan penilaian kepuasan hasil terapi menggunakan skala visual analogue scale (VAS). Pengukuran dilakukan pada saat sebelum memulai terapi, setelah menyelesaikan terapi, follow- up (FU) minggu ke-2 dan 4. Data diolah menggunakan SPSS 2.0 Hasil: Perbandingan perbedaan rerata luaran antara kelompok TEA dan MA pada saat menyelesaikan terapi menunjukkan hasil perbaikan yang bermakna pada perubahan panjang NLF (Uji T Tidak Berpasangan, p <0,001), WSRS (Uji Mann Whitney, p <0,001), dan kepuasan (Uji T Tidak Berpasangan, p <0,001). Pada FU minggu kedua, tidak didapatkan perbedaan yang bermakna antar kedua kelompok berdasarkan pengukuran panjang NLF (Uji T Tidak Berpasangan, p 0,170), dan kepuasan (Uji T Tidak Berpasangan, p 0,991), serta perbedaan bermakna pada WSRS (Uji Mann Whitney, p 0,018). Pada FU minggu keempat, tidak didapatkan perbedaan yang bermakna antar kedua kelompok berdasarkan pengukuran panjang NLF (Uji T Tidak Berpasangan, p 0,079), WSRS (Uji Mann Whitney, p 0,082), dan perbedaan yang bermakna pada kelompok TEA pada skor kepuasan (Uji Mann Whitney, p 0,036). Kesimpulan: Perbaikan NLF pada TEA semakin baik dari waktu ke waktu, sementara MA menunjukkan perbaikan paling tinggi pada saat tepat setelah menyelesaikan terapi. Pada FU minggu ke 4 didapatkan hasil yang sama baik pada kedua kelompok untuk perbaikan panjang NLF dan WSRS. Namun demikian, nilai kepuasan kelompok TEA pada FU minggu ke 4 memiliki nilai yang lebih tinggi dibanding MA. Selain itu, TEA memiliki keunggulan hanya memerlukan 1 sesi terapi sehingga dapat meminimalisir sesi kunjungan.

Background: As we age, the nasolabial fold (NLF) become one of the areas of the face as a priority for correction. An effective facial rejuvenation modality such thread embedding acupuncture (TEA) is needed with minimal therapy sessions to reduce visit numbers. This study was conducted to see the effectiveness of one session of TEA compared to 6 sessions of manual acupuncture (MA) to reduce NLF . Methods: A single-blind randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted on a total of 30 women who met the inclusion criteria. Participants were allocated into 2 groups: TEA group with single session of therapy, and MA group with 6 sessions of therapy. The outcomes of the study were the length of NLF measured by vernier caliper, WSRS scale and satisfaction score using visual analogue scale (VAS). Measurement was carried out before starting therapy, right after completing therapy, 2 weeks and 4 weeks of follow-up (FU). Data processed using SPSS 20.0 Result: Comparison of the mean difference in outcomes between the TEA and MA groups at the time of completion of therapy showed significant improvements in changes of NLF length (Independent T-Test, p <0.001), WSRS (Mann Whitney test p <0.001), and satisfaction (Independent T-Test, p <0.001). In the second week of FU, there was no significant difference between groups based on the measurement of NLF length (Independent T-Test, p 0.170), and satisfaction (Independent T-Test, p: 0.991), and a significant difference in WSRS (Mann Whitney test, p 0.018). At the fourth week of FU, there was no significant difference between the two groups based on the measurement of the length of the NLF (Independent T-Test, p 0.079), WSRS (Mann Whitney test, p 0.082), and a significant difference in the TEA group in satisfaction scores (Mann Whitney test, p 0.036). Conclusion: The improvement of TEA group in NLF reduction showed a pattern of getting better from time to time, while MA group showed the best improvement at the time after completing therapy. At the fourth week of FU, the results for improvement in the length of NLF and WSRS were same in both groups. However, the satisfaction score of TEA group at fourth week of FU has higher value than the MA. In addition, TEA only requires 1 session so that it is expected to be able to minimize sessions"

"[ABSTRAKUremik pruritus masih menjadi masalah dan mengurangi kualitas hidup pada pasien hemodialisis, meskipun telah banyak kemajuan dalam teknik dialisis, serta terapi yang ada belum memberikan hasil yang maksimal. Terapi akupunktur dapat dikembangkan sebagai terapi pendamping pada terapi hemodialisis untuk mengurangi gejala uremik pruritus. Penelitiasn ini merupakan penelitian akupunktur pertama di Indonesia dengan subyek pasien hemodialisis. Tiga puluh tujuh pasien hemodialisis dengan uremik pruritus dibagi dalam dua kelompok secara acak, kelompok akupunktur (n=18) mendapat terapi akupunktur pada titik tunggal LI11 Quchi, sementara kelompok kontrol (n=19) mengunakan jarum plasebo The Park Sham Device. Terapi akupunktur dilakukan saat hemodialisis, seminggu dua kali sebanyak 12 kali. Skor pruritus dinilai menggunakan kuesioner pruritus 5D sebelum terapi, setelah terapi ke-4, ke-8 dan setelah terapi ke-12, serta penilaian lanjutan 4 dan 8 minggu setelah terapi selesai. Perbedaan bermakna skor pruritus 5D antara kelompok akupunktur dan kelompok kontrol terjadi setelah akhir terapi akupunktur (7,89±0,832 vs 10,63±3,166; p=0,003) dan penilaian lanjutan 4 minggu setelah terapi selesai(8,06±1,830 vs 10,95±3,341; p=0,001). Terapi akupunktur efektif menurunkan skor uremik pruritus pada pasien hemodialisis yang menjalani dialisis seminggu dua kali.

Introduction: Emesis gravidarum is a common complaint experienced by pregnant women in the first trimester with an incidence of 50-80% of the world's population and can interfere with daily activities. Pharmacological therapy for emesis gravidarum has been widely used but it has several side effects and a lot of fear of pregnant women getting treatment when pregnancy will affect the fetus. Superficial needling is one of the acupuncture modalities by performing shallow puncturing which is minimally invasive and safe and has been proven effective in several clinical studies. Acupressure has also been recommended for controlling nausea and vomiting. The purpose of this study was to describe the effect of therapy with a combination of superficial needling with a press tack needle and acupressure in women with emesis gravidarum.

Methods: The design of this study is a case series conducted from June to September 2020, obtained 6 cases. All subjects of this case series received the same treatment, namely the combination acupuncture press tack needle and acupressure at the PC6 Neiguan bilateral point during 7 days of treatment and followed up until 7 days after therapy. PUQE score was measured before therapy, on day 7, day 10, and day 14; and provision of a nausea and vomiting diary that was filled in for 7 days of therapy as well as laboratory measurements of quantitative hCG levels, B6 levels, SGOT, SGPT, urea, creatinine, hematocrit, blood electrolytes, urine ketones before placing a press tack needle.

Results: There was a decrease in PUQE score in the six cases on day 7 compared to before therapy and there was a decrease in day 14 compared to before therapy in 5 of 6 cases. The decline in the PUQE score subscale was highest on the retching subscale. The variation in the frequency of daily acupressure performed until day 7 had no effect on the decrease in PUQE scores. There were no significant changes in laboratory results before and on day 7.

Conclusion: The combination of superficial needling with press tack needle and acupressure in women with emesis gravidarum can be very useful in reducing complaints of nausea and vomiting."

"Pendahuluan: Obesitas dinyatakan sebagai suatu epidemik dan prevalensinya masih meningkat di negara ekonomi berkembang.  Kondisi obesitas dapat mempengaruhi hampir seluruh fungsi fisiologis tubuh dan menyebabkan ancaman signifikan terhadap kesehatan masyarakat.  Penanganan obesitas seringkali sulit dan membutuhkan biaya mahal.  Terapi farmakologi banyak memiliki efek samping.  Akupunktur sebagai salah satu terapi non-farmakologi telah menunjukkan hasil yang menjanjikan dalam terapi obesitas.  Elektroakupunktur dan akupunktur tanam benang merupakan modalitas yang dapat digunakan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis efek terapi elektroakupunktur dengan akupunktur tanam benang PDO terhadap penurunan berat badan, lingkar pinggang, dan kadar leptin plasma pada pasien obesitas yang menjalani intervensi diet.Metode: Desain penelitian ini adalah uji klinis acak tersamar tunggal.  Sebanyak 34 subjek dibagi menjadi 2 kelompok, yaitu kelompok elektroakupunktur dengan intervensi diet (EA) dan kelompok akupunktur tanam benang dengan intervensi diet (ATB). Pada kelompok EA, akupunktur dilakukan 3 kali seminggu. Sedangkan pada kelompok ATB, akupunktur dilakukan hanya 1 kali.  Berat badan dan lingkar pinggang diukur sebelum terapi, hari ke-3, 7, 14, 21, dan ke-28.  Sedangkan kadar leptin plasma diukur sebelum terapi dan hari ke-28.Hasil: Terdapat penurunan yang bermakna pada rerata berat badan dan lingkar pinggang pada kedua kelompok sebelum dan setelah terapi (p < 0,001), serta penurunan kadar leptin plasma pada kelompok EA (p = 0,012) dan pada kelompok ATB (p = 0,001).  Tidak terdapat perbedaan yang bermakna pada kedua kelompok baik terhadap selisih penurunan berat badan (p = 0,342), penurunan lingkar pinggang (p = 0,826), dan penurunan kadar leptin plasma (p = 0,784).Kesimpulan: Elektroakupunktur dan akupunktur tanam benang PDO yang disertai intervensi diet memiliki efektivitas yang sama baiknya terhadap penurunan berat badan, lingkar pinggang, dan kadar leptin plasma pada pasien obesitas.  Akupunktur tanam benang memiliki efisiensi waktu dibandingkan dengan elektroakupunktur karena hanya dilakukan satu kali.

Introduction: Obesity is declared as an epidemic and its prevalence is still increasing in developing countries.  Obesity can affect almost all physiological functions of the body and create a significant threat to public health.  Treatment of obesity is often difficult and expensive.  Pharmacological therapy has many side effects.  Acupuncture as a non-pharmacological therapy has shown promising results in the treatment of obesity.  Electroacupuncture and thread embedding acupuncture are modalities that can be used.  The aim of this study was to analyze therapeutic effects of electroacupuncture  with PDO thread embedding acupuncture on weight loss, waist circumference, and plasma leptin levels in obese patients with dietary intervention.

Methods: This study design was a single blind randomized clinical trial. A total of 34 subjects were divided into 2 groups: electroacupuncture with dietary intervention group (EA) and thread embedding acupuncture with dietary intervention group (TEA).  In EA group, acupuncture was performed 3 times a week.  While in TEA group, acupuncture was performed only once.  Body weight and waist circumference were measured before treatment, on the 3rd, 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th days. Meanwhile, plasma leptin levels were measured before treatment and on the 28th day.

Results: There was a significant decrease in body weight and waist circumference in both groups before and after treatment (p < 0.001), and also a significant decrease in plasma leptin level in EA group (p = 0,012) and TEA group (p = 0,001).  There was no significant difference between the two groups in term of weight loss (p = 0.342), waist circumference (p = 0.826), and plasma leptin levels (p = 0,784).

Conclusion: Electroacupuncture and PDO thread embedding acupuncture with dietary intervention have the same effectiveness in reducing body weight, waist circumference, and plasma leptin levels in obese patients.  However, thread embedding acupuncture has better time efficiency than electroacupuncture."
