This report describes the regular use of acupuncture treatments for a patient with hypertension who could not tolerate the side effects of the antihypertensive agents. The patient received 60 acupuncture treatments in the course of 12 weeks, during which time his overall wellbeing improved, his blood pressure reduced and the side effects of antihypertensive drugs were removed. Although acupuncture plus the drug appeared to have a substantial synergistic effect that was weakened when the drug was discontinued, acupuncture may still play a role in the management of hypertension, especially for patients who cannot tolerate the side effects of antihypertensive agents.

Func Tion

Wilson disease is a rare, inherited autosomal recessive disease of copper metabolism. Loss of ATP7B func-tion leads various grades of reduced biliary excretion of copper accumulation and toxicity of copper in the liver, brain and other tissues results in liver toxicity and other myriad manifestations of the disease. In clas-sics there is no exact description of the disease entity which exactly matches the feature of Wilson disease, but it can be correlated with Sahaja Vyadhi or Janamjata Vyadhi. A 16-year-old female child diagnosed with Wilson disease complaints of improper gait, altered speech, chronic constipation and altered mental level etc. Investigation shows S. Ceruloplasmin- 0.4mg/dl, S. copper- within normal limit, slit lamp study for KF ring was positive. This patient was treated with Ayurvedic procedures i.e. Abhyanga, Swedana, Bas-ti and Nasya along with oral medication. After two treatment protocol patient got symptomatic relief in clin-ical features. So, it can be concluded that quality of life (QOL) of patients with chronic disease can be im-proved with the help of internal Ayurvedic medication along with Panchkarma procedure.

Excessive Accumulation

Wilson disease, also known as hepatolenticular degeneration results from improper metabolism of copper due to deficiency or low level of caeruloplasmin which causes excessive accumulation of copper in liver, brain, eyes and different organs. This is not a curable disease. The patient needs a lifelong treatment but early diagnosis can prevent significant damage to the critical organs. This article presents a case study on Wilson disease and the role of radiology in helping to diagnose the disease and monitor patients with this condition.Bangladesh Med J. 2016 Jan; 45 (1): 54-56

Positive And Negative Symptoms

This report describes the use of acupuncture as an add on treatment for a patient with chronic schizophrenia. The 63-year-old woman suffered from persistent hallucinations and even physical pain as a result of the hallucination of a black bird that kept pecking her back. The patient received 12 weekly acupuncture treatments. A clinical diagnostic interview and psychological testing (on sleep quality, depression, and on positive and negative symptoms) were conducted before, immediately after and 3 months after the acupuncture treatment. The results of the diagnostic interview gave important insights into the treatment effects. The patient experienced improved daily functioning and noticed a change in hallucinations. Although the hallucinations still occurred, she felt less disturbed by them. Interestingly, pain decreased markedly. In addition, the results showed that the overall score of the positive and negative symptoms did not change immediately; however, a decrease in symptoms occurred 3 months after acupuncture treatment. Moreover, the patient described an immediate improvement in sleep; this was confirmed by a daytime sleepiness questionnaire. The patient was not able to complete a (longer) test on sleep quality beforehand but did so after the treatment period. Finally, a delayed improvement in the depression scale was found. Although larger clinical intervention studies on acupuncture and schizophrenia are needed, the results of this case study indicate that acupuncture may be beneficial as an add on treatment tool in patients with schizophrenia. Trial registration number 3132.
