Article Synopsis
- Acupotomy is a more invasive procedure than acupuncture and requires safety research, leading to the creation of the ACUPOCHECK, a checklist for monitoring adverse events (AEs).
- A systematic review and pilot study were conducted to identify previously reported AEs, followed by a Delphi process involving 13 Korean doctors to reach a consensus on what AEs to include and how to assess them.
- The final ACUPOCHECK identifies 12 local and 14 systemic AEs, establishing specific criteria for conditions like pain and hemorrhage, while also allowing for additional comments on any unlisted AEs.
Background: Despite the wide usage of miniscalpel-needles (MSNs), information about MSN treatment-related adverse events (AEs) is insufficient. As the definition of AE might vary among physicians, without an exact definition for pain and hemorrhage, it is difficult to provide accurate information about AEs in MSN treatment to physicians, researchers, and patients. The aim of our study is to reach a consensus about the items and definitions of AEs that should be included in the survey form for prospective observational multicenter studies to record MSN treatment-related AEs.
