| 1 | Safe acupuncture and dry needling during pregnancy:New Zealand physiotherapists' opinion and practice显示文摘Objective: Acupuncture guidelines have advised caution when treating women during pregnancy,because historical ‘‘forbidden' acupuncture points are believed to stimulate miscarriage or early labor.Despite recent research demonstrating that acupuncture is a useful and safe treatment tool for pregnancy-related low-back pain(LBP) and pelvic girdle pain(PGP), it is postulated that fear of miscarriage and subsequent blame by association, restricts its provision. More recently, an increase in dry needling(DN) courses for physiotherapists has potentiated the rapid growth in DN practice in New Zealand(NZ). Many dry needlers do not consider DN to be a form of acupuncture; it is unknown if they have similar safety concerns.Methods: NZ registered physiotherapists practicing acupuncture and/or DN were invited to participate in an electronic survey to examine their practice and level of understanding in regard to safe needling during pregnancy.Results: Of 124 respondents, only 60(48%) would needle pregnant women, with a further 66% of those still expressing safety concerns. NZ physiotherapists practicing DN only, were more likely to needle areas related to ‘‘forbidden' points in all trimesters. However, overall, NZ physiotherapists were less likely to needle ‘‘forbidden' points than their UK peers.Conclusion: Conflicting literature and a ‘‘fear of blame' influences NZ physiotherapists' decisions to offer needling(both acupuncture and DN) during pregnancy. Further training in this field is recommended to ensure safe practice and adequate provision of acupuncture treatment options for pregnant women suffering musculoskeletal pain, such as LBP and PGP. Further research, particularly into DN, for women during pregnancy, is warranted. | Jillian Marie McDowell Susan Heather Kohut Debra Betts | 2019 | Journal of Integrative Medicine2019，17，1： | 3 |
| 2 | Acupuncture Adudit of Pre-Birth Treatment and Its Correlation to Reduced Medical Intervention during Delivery显示文摘Midwives in the Wellington region have noted that women receiving prebirth acupuncture consistently experience more efficient labours. Midwives report that the length of labour is reduced, particularly in primigravid women, with a reduction in medical intervention required. This paper will evaluate an audit of 15 midwives who have completed a specialized training programme in acupuncture and currently offer prebirth acupuncture as an adjunct to their midwifery practice. This audit will evaluate the data collected over a four month time period and will analyze the following: the acupuncture points used by the midwives for prebirth treatment; the percentage of women who went into spontaneous natural labour following prebirth acupuncture; the type of delivery following those women who required a medical induction including the percentage who had surgical, instrumental or normal vaginal delivery; length of labour for all women with percentages for primigravid and multigravid women; pharmacological analgesia used during labour including details of the numbers of women who used an epidural, pethadine or nitrous oxide as analgesia; the type of delivery for all women receiving prebirth acupuncture including the percentage of Caesarean section, forceps, vacuum and normal vaginal delivery. This data will be compared to current relevant maternity statistics to evaluate the effectiveness of acupuncture as a prebirth treatment. | Debra BETTS Sue LENNOX | 2005 | World Journal of Acupuncture-Moxibustion2005，15，2： | 0 |
