Efficacy of Acupuncture on Pain Mechanisms, Inflammatory Responses, and Wound Healing in the Acute Phase of Major Burns: An Experimental Study on Rats.

We investigated acupuncture, a potential contributor for burn care, on physiological and pathological pain mechanisms and systemic and local inflammatory responses in a rat experimental burn model. Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into two groups. One-hour groups (five rats/group) were observed for 1 hour and included Sh1 (sham/observation), ShA1 (sham + acupuncture/observation), Brn1 (burn/observation), and BrnA1 (burn + acupuncture/observation).

Interactive effects of acupuncture on pain and distress in major burns: An experiment with rats.

This study sought to investigate the interactive effects of acupuncture on pain and distress and the local progress in the burn wound in an experimental major burn model. Forty-eight male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into six groups: S group (sham/observation during 7 days after injury); SA group (sham/acupuncture/observation during 7 days after injury); B1 group (burns/observation during 1h after injury); BA1 group (burns/acupuncture/observation during 1 h after injury); B7 group (burns/observation during 7 days after injury); and BA7 group (burns/acupuncture/observation during 7 days after injury). Pain and distress scores were evaluated throughout the study.
