Abstract

BACKGROUND: Cancer is the second leading cause of death before the age of 70. Improved cancer survival has put increasing demands on cancer care. Palliative care is the specialized multi-disciplinary care providing relief from the pain, symptoms, and stress of serious illness. The study aims to evaluate the adjunctive effect of acupuncture for advanced cancer patients in a collaborative model of palliative care. METHODS/DESIGN: This is a single-blinded, randomized, sham-controlled trial. One hundred twenty advanced cancer patients undergoing palliative care will be randomized in a ratio of 2:1:1 to manual acupuncture plus standard care group (ASC), sham acupuncture plus standard care group (SSC), and standard care group (SC). Patients in ASC and SSC will receive 9 sessions of acupuncture or sham acupuncture for 3 weeks, and will be followed up for 2 months. The primary measure is the change from baseline score of the Edmonton Symptom Assessment System at 3 weeks. The secondary measures include the Brief Fatigue Inventory, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, Insomnia Severity Index, Numeric Rating Scale, and European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life 15 items Questionnaire for Palliative Care. DISCUSSION: The finding of this trial will provide high-quality evidence on the adjunctive effect of acupuncture to standard care on advanced cancer patients undergoing palliative care. TRIAL REGISTRATION: Clinicaltrials.gov, NCT04398875 (https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04398875), Registered on 21 May 2020.

Abstract

Abstract Background There is a need for more Comparative Effectiveness Research (CER) to strengthen the evidence base for clinical and policy decision-making. Effectiveness Guidance Documents (EGD) are targeted to clinical researchers. The aim of this EGD is to provide specific recommendations for the design of prospective acupuncture studies to support optimal use of resources for generating evidence that will inform stakeholder decision-making. Methods Document development based on multiple systematic consensus procedures (written Delphi rounds, interactive consensus workshop, international expert review). To balance aspects of internal and external validity, multiple stakeholders including patients, clinicians and payers were involved. Results Recommendations focused mainly on randomized studies and were developed for the following areas: overall research strategy, treatment protocol, expertise and setting, outcomes, study design and statistical analyses, economic evaluation, and publication. Conclusion The present EGD, based on an international consensus developed with multiple stakeholder involvement, provides the first systematic methodological guidance for future CER on acupuncture.

Abstract

The article discusses the development of the SHARE (SHam Acupuncture REporting) guidelines and checklist for reporting sham acupuncture in clinical trials. Sham acupuncture is commonly used as a control in acupuncture research to evaluate the specific effects of acupuncture. However, the reporting quality of sham acupuncture in trials has been low, hindering the accurate understanding of its effects and leading to misunderstandings about the specific effects of acupuncture. The SHARE guidelines aim to improve the reporting quality of sham acupuncture by providing specific details about its implementation, including stimulation location, needle stimulation methods, and insertion technique. The guidelines also address contextual factors such as practitioner experience, practitioner-patient interaction, and patients' expectations of acupuncture. The SHARE checklist includes 19 subitems across 10 categories and can be used in any clinical trial involving sham acupuncture. The article recommends referencing both the SHARE and the STRICTA (STandards for Reporting Interventions in Controlled Trials of Acupuncture) checklist when conducting trials with sham acupuncture control. The development of the SHARE involved a literature review, Delphi surveys, consensus meetings, and pilot testing. The article acknowledges some limitations, such as the small sample size in the pilot test and the impact of COVID-19 on the consensus meetings. Overall, the SHARE guidelines and checklist aim to enhance the transparency, replication, and accuracy of sham acupuncture procedures in clinical trials. [Extracted from the article]

23. Implementation science in traditional, complementary and integrative medicine: An overview of experiences from China and the United States

Abstract

Background: The introduction of traditional, complementary and integrative medicine (TCIM) services into health systems has been advocated by the World Health Organization, but there is a paucity of reviews synthesising the experiences of (i) implementing TCIM services in conventional healthcare settings and (ii) introducing evidencebased practice in TCIM. Knowledge of the first issue will assist policymakers to innovate implementation interventions in their own health system contexts. Addressing the second issue will facilitate the closure of the evidence-practice gap in TCIM and improve the translation of research evidence into health outcome benefits. Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify, describe and analyse publications on these two key TCIM policy issues via an overview from an implementation science perspective. Methods: Publications describing international experiences of implementing TCIM services or evidence for TCIM practices were identified by searching MEDLINE, EMBASE and Global Health databases in November 2021. The findings were summarised using a narrative synthesis approach. Results: Sixty-three relevant publications were included in the analysis. Current experiences in China and the United Sates (US) reflect varying policy priorities at different stages of implementing TCIM services. In the US, where TCIM have yet to be introduced into mainstream healthcare settings, implementation interventions were designed to facilitate the provision of specific, evidence-based TCIM modalities via referrals from conventional clinicians. The application of these strategies at the health system, regulatory, financial, community, provider and patient levels provided a comprehensive picture of how TCIM implementation may be facilitated via multilevel interventions. In China, the major form of TCIM is traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), for which service provision has already been adopted at all levels of healthcare.
