Electroacupuncture stems from acupuncture, an ancient Chinese practice widely supported by Western medicine and increasingly gaining followers due to a substantial body of evidence showcasing its high efficacy and virtually absent side effects. To date, there isn't a unified theory that explains all the widely proven effects of acupuncture, but there are potential candidates. It is assumed that the effects of electroacupuncture, in turn, derive to some extent from the amplified effects of acupuncture, yet there are more palatable biophysical explanations for Western medicine practitioners. Acupuncture is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), grounded in a unique system of diagnosis and treatment, with singular nomenclature and involving extensive training in concepts like Chi, physical constitution, five elements, yin-yang, and meridians. This terminology, though intriguing to some physicians, remains unfamiliar and challenging for the vast majority of Western medicine practitioners, prompting attempts to explain the effects of acupuncture and electroacupuncture through contemporary neurobiology concepts. The incorporation of modern Western medical theories into TCM isn't new and has been described at various points in history, notably in the 1950s in China, when Chinese researchers sought to merge local and Western practices, outlining new therapeutic approaches for acupuncture. My practice of acupuncture and electroacupuncture follows the perspective of Western Medical Acupuncture, which does not strictly adhere to TCM principles and broadly includes diagnostic methods familiar to Western physicians. Such an approach is quite common among acupuncturists trained within the logic of Western medicine. Electroacupuncture can be defined as the application of electrical currents to the same needles traditionally used in acupuncture. Generally, the electrified needle placement occurs near the intended therapeutic site, but they can also be applied to classical points or within TCM logic. The needles' electrification is done using specific devices designed for this purpose to ensure greater safety when applying electrical currents amid biological tissues. The most widespread current use for electroacupuncture, much like acupuncture, is its application in pain treatment, whether chronic or acute. It is also employed for tissue regeneration in the musculoskeletal system, reducing hypertrophic scars, and as a neuromodulatory strategy, aimed at treating major depressive episodes, post-traumatic stress disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and Parkinson's disease. Electroacupuncture is a low-cost therapeutic modality, virtually free of side effects, and with minimal contraindications. Several studies demonstrate that electroacupuncture is safe for patients with epileptic disorders or even in users of cardiac pacemakers or other implanted electronic devices. It is an underutilized therapeutic modality with substantial potential to be explored by Western medicine practitioners. Furthermore, it is a safe practice with broad applicability, provided it is practiced by duly qualified professionals. The scarcity of research in the field and its extensive range of applications favor electroacupuncture becoming the focus of an increasingly growing number of studies demonstrating its efficacy in an expanding clinical landscape.
A practicing physician in the field of healthcare in the state of Kerala in India for the last 36 years and very much interested in basic research. My interest is spread across the fever, inflammation and back pain. I am a writer. I already printed and published Ten books on these subjects. I wrote hundreds of articles in various magazines. I have published 11 articles on fever in various journals.
After scientific studies, we have developed 8000 affirmative cross checking questions. It can explain all queries related to fever. For the past 36 years, I have been studying the cause and treatment of back pain, neck pain, joint pain, pain in many types and forms of pain, and inflammation
Nerves carry messages from the brain to other parts of the body and back. Like telephone cables, nerves are built to carry messages, but arteries and veins are built to carry blood, like water pipes. Pressure or blockage in a vein or artery can reduce or stop blood flow. This can cause pain and numbness Similarly, if the nerve that carries the messages is stressed or injured, the messages that pass through them, including pain, are reduced or blocked from reaching the brain. Because of this, the pain will never increase. Instead, the pain will lessen or disappear. Loss of pain sensitivity is common when nerves are cut and bruised after accidents or operations.
How can the average person recognize that the center of the disc(Nucleus pulposus) pressing on the nerve is not causing pain?A major test of modern science to prove something is true is whether it can be reproduced.The absence of pain when the center of the disc is pressed against the nerve is not only an individual human and non-human experience but can be reproduced by anyone.Pressing on the nerve can recreate the fact that there is no pain. No nerve, including the sciatic nerve, experiences pain when pressed 100 times the pressure exerted by the disc.
The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve that starts in the buttock and runs down the back of the leg. In this nerve, I put on 50 kg and pressed for six months. I have no pain, numbness, or weakness. I've tried it on hundreds of my friends over the last 36 years, and not one of them has had pain or numbness from pressing on the nerve. The messages passing through their nerves were not interrupted.The belief that the pain is caused by the soft nucleus of the disc pressing on the nerve is incorrect because modern science cannot reproduce the pain by pressing on the nerve.The reason why the pain does not go away after the operation is because the pressure on the nerve does not cause pain.
I can have swelling in anyone's body, reduced blood flow, back pain, neck pain, and fever. All of these can lead to re-inflammation and death. Likewise, by doing the opposite, inflammation can increase blood flow and reduce or even eliminate back pain, neck pain, and fever.
It's no secret that anyone who has studied the various swelling types and forms I've discovered over the past 36 years can do this. It is an absolute scientific truth that pressing on a nerve does not cause pain.If there is a mistake, deficiency, or incompleteness in what we say, there will be many unanswered questions and doubts. And a gap is felt between many things that do not fit together. But here all questions are answered without a doubt that pressing on the nerve will not cause pain.
The key question is whether surgical removal of the disc is the symptom of pain, the cause of the pain, the cause of the disease, or the disease itself. To answer this, you need to know the exact differences between them.
Dr Françoise Nizeyimana is the current program director of the only anesthesiology residency program in Rwanda. She obtained her WFSA sponsored pediatric fellowship in Kenya in 2018 following training as an anesthesia residency from the University of Rwanda health sciences program where she obtained her MMed degree in anesthesia and critical care medicine. She is also one of only three Rwandese pediatric anesthesiology specialist in the country. With an interest in training, she has participated in training the trainer models involving Leadership, gender equality, and safe pediatrics. She is married with four children.
Despite an increasing awareness of the unmet burden of surgical conditions, information on perioperative complications in children remains limited especially in low-income countries such as Rwanda. The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of periop- erative anesthesia-related adverse events and to explore potential risk factors associated with them among pediatric surgical patients in public referral hospitals in Rwanda. Data were collected for all patients under 5 years of age undergoing surgery in 3 public referral hospitals in Rwanda from June to December 2015. Patient and family his- tory, type of surgery, comorbidities, anesthesia technique, intraoperative adverse events and postoperative events in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU) were recorded. The incidence of perioperative adverse events was assessed and associated risk factors analyzed with univari- ate logistic regression. Of 354 patients enrolled in this study 11 children had a cardiac arrest. Six (1.7%) suffered an intraoperative cardiac arrest, 2 of whom (0.6%) died intraoperatively. In the PACU, 6 (1.8%) suffered a postoperative cardiac arrest, 5 of whom (1.5%) died in the PACU. One child had both an intraoperative cardiac arrest and then a cardiac arrest in PACU but survived. Eighty- nine children (25.1%) had an intraoperative adverse event, whereas 67 (20.6%) had an adverse event in PACU. A review of the cases where cardiac arrest or death occurred indicated that there were significant lapses in the expected standard of care. Age <1 week was associated with cardiac arrest or death
The rate of perioperative complications, including death, for children under- going surgery in tertiary care hospitals in Rwanda was high. Quality improvement measures are needed to decrease this rate among surgical pediatric patients in this low resource setting.
