Acupuncture Efficacy in the Treatment of Acute Exacerbations of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease During Hospitalization: a Randomized Controlled Trial

Bnai Zion Medical Center·interventional·Posted Jan 12, 2018·Updated Aug 21, 2020

In Brief

A clinical study evaluating Acupuncture and Sham procedure for COPD Exacerbation. Completed, enrolled 72 participants across 2 sites.

Detailed Summary

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major health problem. Acute exacerbations are a health-care burden involving frequent hospitalizations and elevated costs. They have effective therapies with significant side effects. Acupuncture has been shown to reduce dyspnea and other COPD-related symptoms. The investigators will compare the efficacy and safety of the addition of true acupuncture to usual care with both sham-acupressure added to usual care and usual care only for the treatment of acute exacerbations of COPD among inpatients.
