Objective: To explore the effects of acupuncture in comparison with sham acupuncture on cognitive functions in patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS).

Methods: In this randomized controlled trial, 31 RRMS patients in the acupuncture group were treated with traditional Chinese acupuncture based on the treatment principle of calming the mind, reinforcing qi and blood, and 31 patients in the control group were treated with sham acupuncture (shallow needling at non-acupuncture points) twice a week for 12 weeks. The primary outcome was the Brief International Cognitive Assessment for Multiple Sclerosis (BICAMS) score, which was evaluated by a psychologist at baseline and after 12 weeks of treatment.

March 2025

Harvard Medical School, Cambridge, USA; Department of Psychiatry, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, USA. Electronic address:

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines "polyregulation," or the use of multiple emotion regulation strategies to cope with a single stressor, particularly in individuals with repetitive negative thinking (RNT) disorders like worries, ruminations, and obsessions.
  • A total of 60 participants were tested on their responses to distressing intrusive thoughts, revealing that 90% used multiple strategies, with a greater need to control thoughts predicting higher strategy use.
  • Despite the findings, factors related to RNT and the immediate effectiveness of these strategies did not show significant relationships, emphasizing the need for further investigation to aid clinical interventions targeting intrusive thinking.
