Prof. Hugh MacPherson: Acupuncture for chronic pain: from trials and tribulations to definitive data
Synopsis: The Acupuncture Triallists Collaboration published a seminal
paper on acupuncture for chronic pain in 2012, which already has
been cited over 500 times. The chronic pain conditions included back
and neck pain, shoulder pain, osteoarthritis and headache and
migraine. In this presentation I will provide an update of the results,
with the addition of data from 10 more trials published between
2008 and 2015, totalling of 39 trials and over 20,000 patients. The
findings reinforce the message of the original meta-analysis, namely
that acupuncture has a moderate effect when compared to non-acupuncture
controls and a small effect when compared to sham acupuncture.
The main criticism of the study, that the difference
between acupuncture and sham is too small to be meaningful, will be
addressed by comparing effect sizes across a range of interventions
vs. sham or placebo. Also new data will be presented on the trajectory
of reported outcomes, showing that only 15 % of the benefit is
lost at 12 months after treatment.

Prof. Dr. Florian Beißner: Vegetativ vermittelte Effekte der Akupunktur
Das vegetative Nervensystem steuert gemeinsam mit dem neuro-
endokrinen System sämtliche Organ-Funktionen des menschlichen
Körpers und koordiniert dabei so zentrale Vorgänge wie Kreislauf,
Verdauung, Stoffwechsel und Immunabwehr. Während sich die
Wissenschaft lange Zeit auf die Erforschung der schmerzlindernden
Akupunkturwirkung fokussiert hat, betreffen einige der am besten
untersuchten Akupunkturwirkungen jedoch das vegetative Nervensystem.
Hierzu zählt die Behandlung von Übelkeit und Erbrechen,
Migräne und Bluthochdruck, aber auch die Therapie von Entzündungen
mittels Akupunktur. Während eine Hemmung des sympathischen
Nervensystems durch Akupunktur bereits vor 30 Jahren erstmals
demonstriert wurde, haben in den letzten Jahren vor allem
Studien zur vegetativ vermittelten Beeinflussung des Immunsystems
durch Akupunktur für Furore gesorgt. In diesem Vortrag gebe ich
einen Überblick über die wichtigsten Ergebnisse der letzten Jahre
und das sich daraus formende Bild. Dieses zeigt eindeutig, dass dem
vegetativen Nervensystem eine zentrale Rolle bei der Vermittlung
fast aller Akupunktureffekte zukommt.

Inhalt / abstract
The future of traditional Chinese medicine both in the western
world and in China depends, for socio-cultural and political rea-
sons, increasingly on a scientific evaluation of the techniques used
to treat patients. Despite a plethora of studies, many practitioners
and potential researchers remained puzzled and confused by the
unclear results that the studies have sometimes generated.
Because of the ever-increasing interest and demand over the
past years, for the first time in the congress’ history, the tcm
and Science Session will take place over an entire day. Subtitled
“ Authentic practice and the developing evidence mosaic” the day
will be an ongoing dialogue among the invited speakers and with
active audience participation and input.
Designed and moderated by the British researcher and teacher
Hugh MacPherson and the Mexican physician Velia Wortman, this
day will be a unique opportunity not only to hear about the latest
developments in tcm research from an anthropological, historical,
clinical and basic research points of view, but also to engage in
conversation with leading exponents from Germany and across
Europe.
