Abstract EN
We investigated manual needle and laser needle acupuncture as a complementary therapy for patients with burnout syndrome.
Twenty patients with a mean age ± SD of 38.7 ± 8.4 years were assigned to two groups, each consisting of ten patients.
One group was treated with manual needle acupuncture and the other with laser needle acupuncture.
Heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV), and a new score called dynamic acupuncture treatment score (DATS) served as evaluation parameters.
The study documented significant effects on heart rate after needle acupuncture treatment and significant effects on HRV caused by both needle and laser needle acupuncture.
Based on new neurovegetative acupuncture treatment evaluation scores, it can be stated that both noninvasive laser needle acupuncture and manual needle acupuncture have the potential to be a powerful approach for evidence-based complementary treatment of patients with burnout syndrome.
Further transcontinental studies to verify or refute the preliminary findings are in progress.
