Acupuncture--a therapeutic concept in the treatment of painful conditions and functional disorders. Report on 971 cases.

The results in 971 outpatients who have been treated with acupuncture for different diseases are reported. The outcome of treatments and number of sessions are discussed in relation to the different diseases. Acupuncture treatment was regarded as successful when 1. the patients had no pain at all without medication and 2. there was a significant improvement (no long-term medication, only mild pain under unusual strain, minimal medication under such circumstances). We obtained positive results in cephalalgias , sinusitis, cervical spine syndrome, shoulder-arm syndrome, ischialgias , back pain, constipation, herpes zoster, allergic rhinitis and disturbances of peripheral blood flow. For the following ailments, in order to reduce the medication, we recommend acupuncture despite a high rate of recurrence: Trigeminal neuralgia, colitis ulcerosa, bronchial asthma and cancer pain. Results in the treatment of mental disturbances were unsatisfactory, and in cases of tinnitus results were negative.

[Circulatory behavior under electrostimulation anesthesia (ESA)].

A comparative study was made of the circulatory conditions during ESA via paravertebral electrodes and halothane anaesthesias and neurolept analgesia. During 654 operations (cholecystectomies, struma-surgery, vein by-pass grafting and varicotomies) heart rate and mean arterial pressure before the onset of anaesthesia and the highest intraoperative measured rates were compared. The same parameters after intubation/before the start of the operation respectively before and after the start of the operation were compared with regard to the specific type of anaesthesia. Before the start of surgery no marked reactions of the circulatory system were observed during ESA compared to other anaesthesia techniques. No difference in heart rate and mean arterial pressure were found during the start of the operation with the different anaesthetic techniques. For struma surgery the reaction of the circulatory system during ESA was significantly better than in halothane anaesthesia while during surgery of the upper abdomen and vein by-pass grafting in ESA patients there were significantly greater rises in heart rate and mean arterial pressure.

[Use of muscle relaxants under electrostimulation anesthesia (ESA)].

A comparative study was made of the consumption of muscle relaxants during electrostimulation anaesthesia (ESA) in comparison to halothane anaesthesia and neurolept anaesthesia. 441 operations (struma surgery, saphenous vein bypass grafts, varicotomies) showed a significantly raised consumption of muscle relaxants when performed under ESA. For struma surgery and varicotomies the consumption was 17.2% respectively 13.9% higher than during halothane anaesthesia and for vein bypass grafting 14.3% higher than during neurolept anaesthesia. The potentiating effect of inhalation anaesthetics on muscle relaxants and the possibility of an activation of the reticular formation via electrical stimulation of muscular and nervous tissues under ESA are discussed.
