A new study says that acupuncture could help treat mild traumatic brain injury. Such news constitutes a special health breakthrough for many people who suffer these unfortunate traumas.
In acupressure, one’s fingertips are used to stimulate particular points on a person’s body, points that also correspond to those used in acupuncture.
The results of the study we’re looking at today indicate a link between the acupressure treatments and enhanced cognitive function in study subjects with mild traumatic brain injury. Patients on acupressure showed greater working memory as well.
The acupressure used in the study is called “Jin Shin.” In the study,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], researchers targeted the 26 points on the human body, stretching from head to foot. These are found along “meridians” running through the body that are associated with the flow of Qi (energy). Each point is tied to the health of specific body organs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], as well as the entire body and brain.
The study involved 38 participants who either received acupressure from trained experts or had sham acupressure (where the specific points are not used). It is believed to be one of the first good-quality studies in a peer-reviewed medical journal to show that acupressure could benefit mild traumatic brain injury.
