12 Abstracts Laser Acupuncture Laserneedle Acupuncture: A Critical Review and Recent Results Detlef Schikora, PhD In the last 5 years, laserneedle acupuncture has become a new category in acupuncture, with its own scientific basics. It combines the tradition of Chinese acupuncture with the possibilities of modern technology. Laserneedle acupuncture is in accordance with the aim of traditional medicine because it uses the most essential and most natural medium of our existence, the light, to heal illnesses. The painless laserneedle acupuncture is of proven medical effectiveness and particularly suited for the treatment of children and those patients who regard the metal needle insertion into the skin as unpleasant. In daily practical use, laserneedle acupuncture can be performed like any traditional needle acupuncture treatment. The diagnostic criteria of acupoint selection, the treatment duration, and treatment frequency are identical to the traditional Chinese acupuncture. To perform successful laserneedle acupuncture treatments, no additional qualification is required. Offering the painless laserneedle acupuncture to the patient means that the acupuncture needles are substituted and the risks of the metal needle are eliminated. Effect of New Non-invasive Laser Needles on Brain Function G. Litscher*, D. Schikora** * Department of Biomedical Eng. and Research in Anesthesia and Critical Care, University of Graz, Graz, Austria ** Department of Physics and Optoelectronic, University of Paderborn, Paderborn, Germany This paper describes the first double-blind study in acupuncture research in 17 healthy volunteers using laserneedle acupuncture. Stimulation of vision related acupoints resulted in marked changes of mean blood flow velocity in the posterior cerebral artery measured by multidirectional transcranial Doppler sonography. Further studies using different laser stimulus intensities and wavelengths are in progress. Cerebral Vascular Effects of Non-invasive Laserneedles Measured by Transorbital and Transtemporal Doppler Sonography G. Litscher1 and D. Schikora2 1Department of Biomedical Engineering and Research in Anesthesia and Critical Care, University of Graz, Austria; 2Department of Physics and Optoelectronic, University of Paderborn, Germany Laserneedles represent a new non-invasive optical stimulation method which is described for the first time in this paper. We investigated 27 healthy volunteers (mean ageSD: 25.154.12 years; range: 21–38 years; 14 female, 13 male) in a randomised cross-over trial to study differences between laserneedle acupuncture and manual needle acupuncture in specific cerebral parameters. Mean blood flow velocity (vm) showed specific and significant increases in the ophthalmic artery during laserneedle stimulation (p=0.01) and during manual needle stimulation (p
Abstracts Laser Acupuncture Effects of laserneedle acupuncture on olfactory sensitivity of healthy human subjects: a placebo-controlled, double-blinded, randomized trial. Anzinger A, Albrecht J, Kopietz R, Kleemann AM, Schöpf V, Demmel M, Schreder T, Eichhorn I, Wiesmann M. Department of Neuroradiology, Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich, Germany. The aims of the present study were to investigate the influence of laserneedle acupuncture on olfactory sensitivity and to examine whether the attitude towards laserneedle acupuncture affects the outcome. Olfaction was tested repeatedly on two days using the olfactory detection threshold subtest of the Sniffin’ Sticks test battery in sixty-four healthy subjects of which 32 showed a positive attitude towards the effects of laserneedle acupuncture and 32 were sceptic about its effects. Testing was accomplished three times on day one (T1 = 0 min, T2 = 35 min, T3 = 105 min) without laserneedle acupuncture and on day two (T1* = 0 min, T2* = 35 min, T3* = 105 min) when the subjects were randomized in a non-stimulation (placebo) and a stimulation (laserneedle acupuncture) group. Stimulation or non-stimulation was conducted in a double-blinded design. Following laserneedle acupuncture a significant decrease in olfactory detection thresholds was observed at both, T2* and T3*, whereas no significant changes were found in the baseline or placebo group. Effects of laserneedle acupuncture on the olfactory detection threshold did not differ between sceptic and non-sceptic subjects. In conclusion, laserneedle acupuncture is an effective method to improve olfactory sensitivity after one session of stimulation for at least one hour, independently of the attitude of subjects towards the stimulation method.

Results from Traditional Chinese Acupuncture, Korean and Chinese hand acupuncture, ear acupuncture, combinations of the different acupuncture methods and placebo needling are presented. NIRS seems to be able to shed some light upon the functioning of the different acupuncture methods. 13
