Acupuncture, a traditional Chinese medicine practice, is increasingly integrated into Western healthcare for pain and nausea management. While scientific evidence supports its use, particularly in anesthesia, further research is needed on optimal application and indications.

Area of Science:

  • Integrative Medicine
  • Traditional Chinese Medicine
  • Evidence-Based Practice

Context:

  • Acupuncture, originating from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), has seen significant adoption in Western medicine over the past 30 years.
  • German healthcare systems recognize and reimburse acupuncture for specific conditions like chronic low back pain and knee osteoarthritis.
  • Extensive scientific literature documents the physiological and clinical effects of acupuncture.

Purpose:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of acupuncture, encompassing its historical, theoretical, practical, and scientific dimensions.
  • To specifically examine the role and efficacy of acupuncture as a supportive treatment in anesthesia.
  • To highlight key areas requiring further investigation within acupuncture research.
