Exploring Novel Meridian-Based Therapeutic Approaches in Parkinson’s Disease
According to data from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019, the prevalence of PD has been increasing over the past 30 years, and the rate has increased particularly rapidly in the population over 80 years of age, highlighting the burden of the disease [2]. [...]in PD management, dopaminergic drugs such as levodopa and dopamine agonists are considered the most effective symptomatic treatments, but their use is somewhat limited due to side effects such as hallucinations, drowsiness, lower extremity swelling, and retroperitoneal, pleuropulmonary, and heart valve fibrosis [3]. The researchers revealed that they are currently conducting a randomized controlled clinical trial targeting patients with PD with this intervention (NCT05621772) and noted they also have plans to develop a home care program based on MARS for patients with PD. The development of effective and safe nonpharmacological therapies that expand patients’ treatment options is always welcome.

Structural‐Functional Dissociation in TBI Hemiplegia: Meridian‐Sinew Therapy Promotes Motor Recovery Despite Corticospinal Tract Damage—A Case Report
This study presents neuroimaging analysis of a 31‐year‐old male patient with hemiplegia secondary to severe traumatic brain injury who was treated with an external therapy of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) called meridian‐sinew therapy. The patient exhibited complete right‐sided limb paralysis following trauma, with full muscle strength recovery after therapy. Serial diffusion tensor imaging evaluations revealed persistently reduced fractional anisotropy values in the left corticospinal tract (CST.L) below the normal range posttreatment, indicating a structure–function decoupling phenomenon. Despite incomplete restoration of structural integrity in CST.L, significant motor function improvement was observed. The findings suggest that meridian‐sinew therapy may promote motor recovery through activation of compensatory networks involving non‐CST pathways. This investigation provides neuroimaging evidence supporting the therapeutic efficacy of meridian‐sinew therapy in TBI‐induced hemiplegia and offers novel insights into potential mechanisms of action.

Acupuncture as complementary therapy for hypoxic encephalopathy: A case study
In acute carbon monoxide intoxication, more serious neuronal damage may induce hypoxic encephalopathy with variable degrees of brain damage, ranging from confusion to deep coma. We report herein on a patient who developed hypoxic encephalopathy and acute respiratory failure after acute carbon monoxide intoxication. Acupuncture therapy has been applied along with prescription medication to restore consciousness.
The patient had a 2-month history of consciousness disturbance and frequent generalised episodic clonic twitching with upward gazing, which was diagnosed as hypoxic encephalopathy.
Acupuncture therapy has been applied to restore consciousness with routine treatment and medication prescription. The patient was treated 29 times by abdominal acupuncture in conjunction with scalp, body and foot acupuncture according to the 12 meridians’ points as an assistant therapy. After 2 months of acupuncture treatment, the patient regained consciousness; the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) index increased from 7 to 15, before and after acupuncture therapy.
This case report suggests that there may be a role for complementary treatment with acupuncture in such cases, and it would be more definitive, meaningful and a welcome addition to our database of knowledge if more case studies about the possibility of acupuncture use in these circumstances were done.

A Patient with MRSA Infection to Prosthesis of Femoral Head Diagnosed Non-invasively Using Bi-Digital O-Ring Test: A Clinical Case Report
Prosthesis of femoral head is a common surgical procedure, but the diagnosis of infection associated with the prosthesis remains difficult. We diagnosed non-invasively methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection of prosthesis of femoral head with Bi-Digital O-Ring Test
(BDORT). BDORT uses the resonance phenomenon between 2 identical substances, and electromagnetic field principle. The method can non-invasively detect viral & bacterial infection. Accuracy of the BDORT findings was confirmed through bacterial culture & sensitivity test to antibiotics.
Patient was successfully treated with operation of evulsion of the prosthesis of femoral head and administration of antibiotics and Cilantro. The drug compatibility was tested with BDORT. BDORT was an effective technique for non-invasively detecting infection of prosthesis and selecting the
most effective antibiotics.

Shōnishin bei Asymmetrie
Video-Dokumentation der Behandlung eines asymmetrischen Babys mit Blockierung der oberen HWS, die mittels der japanischen Kinderakupunktur Shōnishin zur Auflösung der Blockierung führte.
Einfache Handhabung zur Behandlung von Asymmetrien ohne manualtherapeutischen Einsatz.
Ein asymmetrisches Baby hat aufgrund seiner Asymmetrie noch kein Gefühl für Symmetrie bekommen, weswegen ihm die Idee seiner „Mitte” vermittelt werden muss. So bedarf es der Aktivierung der Meridiane des vorderen Umlaufs (Ma-, Di-, Mi-, Lu-Meridian), um seine Mitte zu betonen. Erst dann kann es darauf aufbauend eine Rotationsbewegung, wie sie zur Aufhebung einer Kopfgelenksblockierung notwendig ist, ausführen. Dies geschieht über Aktivierung des Gb-Meridians über eine Stimulation des Bl-Meridians.
Bisherige Beobachtungen zeigen, dass bei einem Teil der kopfgelenksblockierten Babys auch ohne manualtherapeutische Intervention die Blockierungen gelöst werden können.
Der Körper folgt der Energie, diese gibt (Bewegungs-)Richtung und Körperstruktur vor.
The treatment of a baby suffering from asymmetry with a craniocervical blockage was document ed on video. Treatment with the Japanese Acupuncture method Shonishin lead to a release of the blockage.
To demonstrate a simple method of treating asymmetry without the use of manual therapy.
A baby with asymmetry has not been able to develop a sense of symmetry yet. In order to facilitate this, one has to convey a sense of “center”. Therefore, the meridians of the frontal cycle (Stomach, Large Intestine, Spleen, Lung) have to get activated. Having gained a sense of the “middle”, a rotary motion – as is necessary for the release of the articular blockage - can be performed. This is achieved by activation of the Gall Bladder meridian and a stimulation of the Bladder meridian.
Recent findings suggest that in some cases of babies suffering from craniocervical blockage, these can be released without employing manual therapy.
The body follows the energetic flow, which in turn determines motion direction and physical structure.

Fallbeispiel zum Aku-Taping: Pseudoradikuläre Lumboischialgie
Eine Patientin mit seit sechs Jahren bestehender pseudoradiculärer Lumboischialgie linksseitig wurde mit den Methoden der TCM und Osteopathie diagnostiziert. Die Therapie erfolgte osteopathisch und mit einer Mischung aus klassischem Taping und Aku-Taping sowie einer Anregung zur Bewegung mittels Nordic Walking. Nach sechs Wochen war ein zufriedenstellendes Ergebnis erzielt.
A female patient with a six-year-old pseudoradicular lumboischialgia on the left side was diagnosed using methods of TCM and osteopathy. An osteopathic therapy was applied in combination with a mix of classic taping and acu-taping, as well as the encouragement to a more active lifestyle via Nordic Walking. Six weeks later the patient felt much better.
