Received 1 February 2002; in revised form 11 March 2003; accepted 27 March 2003

Background and Aims: Previous trials on acupuncture in alcohol addiction were in outpatients and focused on relapse prevention. Rates of dropout were high and interpretation of results difficult. We compared auricular laser and needle acupuncture with sham laser stimulation in reducing the duration of alcohol withdrawal.

Methods: Inpatients undergoing alcohol withdrawal were randomly allocated to laser acupuncture (n = 17), needle acupuncture (n = 15) or sham laser stimulation (n = 16). Attempts were made to blind patients, therapists and outcome assessors, but this was not feasible for needle acupuncture. The duration of withdrawal symptoms (as assessed using a nurse-rated scale) was the primary outcome; the duration of sedative prescription was the secondary outcome. Results: Patients randomized to laser and sham laser had identical withdrawal symptom durations (median 4 days). Patients randomized to needle stimulation had a shorter duration of withdrawal symptoms (median 3 days; P = 0.019 versus sham intervention), and tended to have a shorter duration of sedative use, but these differences diminished after adjustment for baseline differences.

Conclusions: The data from this pilot trial do not suggest a relevant benefit of auricular laser acupuncture for alcohol withdrawal. A larger trial including adequate sham interventions is needed, however, to reliably determine the effectiveness of any type of auricular acupuncture in this condition. 

Laser Therapy Science and Clinical Studies

CLASS IV LASER THERAPY – AKA PHOTOMEDICINE IS DELIVERING MANY BENEFITS THROUGH INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE PRACTITIONERS Clinical Results Reveal Many Transformative and Encouraging Benefits Such As: 1. Anti-Inflammatory EffectEffect of Laser Therapy on the Expression of Inflammatory Mediators… Pubmed Laser Therapy reduces inflammation with vasodilation, activation of the lymphatic drainage system, and reduction of pro-inflammatory mediators; as a result, inflammation, erythema, bruising, and edema are reduced.

Laser Therapy and Musculoskeletal Pain Syndromes (Chronic and Acute)

Musculoskeletal Pain Syndromes (Chronic and Acute) Low-Level Light Therapy (LLLT) has been shown to be effective in a variety of musculoskeletal conditions and associated pain presentations. In Rheumatoid Arthritis, LLLT can benefit not only the pain of acute small joint inflammation but also chronic pain. In a review article on rheumatology (3), some 18 papers were considered. All studies involved double-blind trials with LLLT in chronic rheumatoid and reported significant improvement in pain (80% success
