Early Acupuncture Intervention Srongly Associates with Improved Swallowing Recovery in Post-Stroke Dysphagia: A Multicenter Real-World Cohort Study
Early acupuncture intervention within two weeks post-stroke is strongly associated with improved swallowing recovery in real-world clinical practice. Delayed treatment may limit clinical benefit. Future research should incorporate instrumental swallowing assessments and randomized trials to refine acupuncture timing and validate these findings.

Acupuncture Resolves Cervical Dystonia with Head Tilt
In a detailed case report, acupuncture treatment for a 37-year-old woman with idiopathic cervical dystonia led to complete resolution of a rightward head and neck tilt of approximately 90 degrees. The report documents two distinct courses of acupuncture treatment, after which the patient’s head position returned to neutral, muscle spasticity in the left sternocleidomastoid muscle visibly decreased, and symptoms of anxiety and depression were alleviated
In summary, this case demonstrates that acupuncture, when applied using TCM principles of differentiated stimulation based on the affected musculature and emotional state, may offer effective relief from cervical dystonia symptoms. The treatment successfully corrected a severe rightward head tilt, resolved associated tremors, and improved psychiatric comorbidities in the absence of any procedural complications. The findings suggest a potentially valuable role for acupuncture in managing focal dystonias, though further study is required

MR imaging shows how acupuncture improves brain structure after TBI
New imaging data suggest that acupuncture for patients with traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) may help heal the brain on a structural level.

The study, published in RSNA’s Radiology,indicates that acupuncture therapy can improve white matter integrity and reduce the symptoms associated with severe concussions. Experts involved in the study are hopeful the treatment could offer individuals struggling with postconcussion syndrome (PCI) an alternative treatment.

On imaging, both acupuncture groups showed decreased fractional anisotropy in the right cerebral peduncle, anterior limb of the internal capsule, posterior corona radiata (PCR), and cingulum-hippocampus. The verum acupuncture group displayed improved fractional anisotropy of the right PCR. These findings correlated with improved PCS scores—measures of the severity of symptoms—in patients for up to 12 months. This could point to a potential link between structural plasticity and long-term outcomes, the group suggested.

“Changes in diffusion metrics of the white matter tracts were predominantly lateralized to the right. This pattern is consistent with previous reports suggesting hemispheric asymmetry in mTBI-related microstructural changes,” the authors explained. “One possible explanation for this lateralization is that the left hemisphere has more densely packed axonal branches, potentially providing greater structural resilience to mechanical stresses, such as shear or rotational forces.”

In addition to the white matter improvements owed to acupuncture, the group also emphasized their finding related to the right posterior corona radiata specifically; they suggested this could represent a therapeutic target for evaluating treatment responses in mTBI patients.

Acupuncture modulates the microbiota-gut-brain axis: a new strategy for Parkinson’s disease treatment
Parkinson’s disease is a relatively common neurodegenerative disorder in clinical practice, and its prevalence is increasing worldwide. It not only causes patients to have movement disorders such as tremors
and delayed initiation but also makes patients suffer from olfactory disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, insomnia and other symptoms, which brings a heavy burden to patients and their families. In recent years, some scholars believe that the brain-gut axis may be the key to revealing the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease.
Changes in the intestinal flora, or bacterial infections and oxidative stress, lead to abnormal aggregation of alpha-synuclein(a-syn) and formation of neurotoxic Lewy bodies (LBs), which are transmitted to the central nervous system via the vagus nerve, causing Parkinson’s disease (PD). A large number of evidence-based studies have shown that acupuncture is effective in treating motor disorders and non-motor symptoms such as constipation, neuropsychiatric symptoms, and dysphagia symptoms in Parkinson’s disease, and this treatment is safe. However, its mechanism remains unclear. Acupuncture may affect the brain-gut axis and treat PD by improving intestinal flora imbalance, interfering with the expression of a-syn, protecting neurological function, anti-inflammation, and influencing glial cells, etc. Therefore, the aim of this review is to elucidate the pathogenesis of PD from the perspective of neural, immune, and metabolic signaling pathways of the microbiota-gut-brain axis. In addition, this paper integrates the mechanism of acupuncture treatment with the pathogenesis of PD for the first time and aims to provide potential new strategies for its treatment.

Acupuncture Reduces Fatigue & Inflammation in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
A randomized controlled trial demonstrated that acupuncture based on the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory of “brain-kidney interaction” significantly improved fatigue, sleep quality, and inflammatory cytokine profiles in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) [1].
The study enrolled 68 adult patients diagnosed with CFS and randomly assigned them to either an acupuncture group (n =
34) or a control group (n = 34). The
acupuncture group received treatment five days per week for four consecutive weeks.
The control group received oral oryzanol and vitamin B1, in addition to
recommendations for rest and exercise.
No acupuncture was administered to the control group [1].
Biochemical analysis revealed significant reductions in serum inflammatory cytokines in the acupuncture group. Levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interferon-gamma (IFN-y) were both significantly decreased after the treatment period (p <
0.01). These changes were not observed in the control group. Furthermore, the post-treatment levels of IL-6 and IFN-y were significantly lower in the acupuncture group than in the control group (p < 0.05 and p < 0.01, respectively) [1].
