    Electrically augmented acupuncture stimulation showed potential in addressing musculoskeletal dysfunctions related to patient symptoms. Some, but not all, dysfunctions normalized after treatment, particularly those linked to presenting complaints.

    Area of Science:

    • Integrative medicine
    • Neuromodulation
    • Musculoskeletal health

    Background:

    • Musculoskeletal dysfunctions are common and can cause various symptoms.
    • Acupuncture is a traditional therapy with potential neuromodulatory effects.
    • Osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) assesses and treats somatic dysfunctions.

    Observation:

    • Two subjects with diverse symptoms underwent osteopathic examinations before and after electroacupuncture.
    • Musculoskeletal dysfunctions were identified in multiple body regions prior to stimulation.

    Findings:

    • Electrically augmented acupuncture altered some, but not all, identified musculoskeletal dysfunctions.
    • The normalized dysfunctions were those most closely associated with the subjects' presenting symptoms.

    Implications:

    • Electrically augmented acupuncture may selectively improve somatic dysfunctions related to specific symptoms.
    • Further research is warranted to explore the therapeutic potential of electroacupuncture for musculoskeletal conditions.
