背景:针灸疗法已被广泛用作治疗多种疾病的替代疗法,比如中风的后遗症,疼痛,面瘫等。近年来,很少有与针灸治疗相关的不良事件的报道,其中血肿,出血和头晕是主要表现。然而,到目前为止,目前还没有病例报道针灸疗法与无症状/无症状的高CK血症之间存在关联.
方法:我们报告了一名患者在5次不同频率的针刺过程中出现了高CK血症。停止针灸治疗1个月后,随访显示血清肌酸激酶(sCK)呈显著下降趋势。然而,之后,该患者开始再次接受针灸治疗,以改善中风的后遗症。同时,SCK再次升起。
结论:高血压可能与针灸疗法有关。应全面、客观地记录针灸治疗的各种不良事件,以完善针灸治疗的安全标准体系。
BACKGROUND: Acupuncture therapy has been widely used as an alternative therapy to treat multiple diseases, such as sequelae of stroke, pain, facial paralysis and so on. In recent years, few adverse events related to acupuncture treatment have been reported, among which hematoma, bleeding and dizziness are the main manifestations. However, to date, there have been no existing cases reported the association between acupuncture therapy and asymptomatic/pauci-symptomatic
hyperCKemia.
METHODS: We report a patient who developed
hyperCKemia during 5 sessions of acupuncture at different frequencies. After stopping acupuncture treatment for 1 month, follow-up showed a significant downward trend in serum creatine kinase (sCK). However, after that this patient started to get acupuncture treatment again in order to improve the sequelae of stroke. Meantime, the sCK rose again.
CONCLUSIONS: HyperCKemia may associated with acupuncture therapy. All kinds of adverse events of acupuncture should be recorded comprehensively and objectively so as to improve the safety standard system of acupuncture therapy.
