Acupuncture In The Treatment Of Patients  With Chronic Obstructive Bronchitis: A Randomized Controlled Trial Vadim Buevich, MD Iraida G. Menshikova, MD Irina V. Skliar, MD Elena E. Kalashnikova, MD Elena A. Shevchenko, MD Marina Loevets, MD

Lung Disorders

Main Outcome Measures
Researchers actively measured changes from baseline in bronchitis symptoms, respiratory tests (vital capacity,FEV1, and FEF25, 50, 75), and blood gases.Results
Notably, acupuncture significantly improved outcomes from baseline and, moreover, outperformed the controlgroup in patients without pulmonary hypertension and those with compensated chronic cor pulmonale.

Nevertheless, acupuncture actively improves decompensated cor pulmonale in patients, yet yields results similar to the control group.

Conclusions:

This study suggests that acupuncture is a safe and effective method in the complex therapy of patients with chronic obstructive bronchitis. It improves airway permeability, pulmonary hemodynamics, and the functional state of respiratory muscles.

Furthermore, acupuncture actively reduces patients’ drug dependency while significantly boosting overall treatment effectiveness. Consequently, this holistic approach enhances patient outcomes.
