Overview

• Chronic pain and shoulder mobility problems are
  common after such surgery, adversely affecting
  quality of life as well as employability for
  certain occupations, said Dr. David Pfister who
  is the Chief of Head and Neck Oncology Services
  at the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in
  New York City. Unfortunately, available
  conventional methods of treatment for pain and
  dysfunction following neck surgery often have
  limited benefits, leaving much room for
  improvement.

Study

• A total of 70 patients were involved in this
  study. Participants were randomly chosen to
  receive Acupuncture treatment or more traditional
  forms of follow-up including physical therapy
  exercises and the use of anti-inflammatory drugs.
  Treatment on all of the persons commenced at
  least three months after their surgery and the
  completion of radiation treatments. The
  Acupuncture group received four sessions of
  treatment over a four week period.

Conclusion

• What the researchers found was that 39 percent of
  the patients who received Acupuncture improved in
  both mobility and pain reduction compared to only
  7 percent of the group who received the usual
  medical care. An additional benefit that has been
  reported in similar studies is that the condition
  of dry mouth has also improved in a large number
  of the participants.

• Dr. Barrie Cassileth, Ph.D., is the Chief of
  Integrative Medicine Service at the Cancer Center
  and had this to say about the results Like any
  other treatment, Acupuncture does not work for
  everyone, but it can be extraordinarily helpful
  for many. It does not treat illness, but
  Acupuncture can control a number of distressing
  symptoms such as shortness of breath, anxiety and
  depression, chronic fatigue, pain, neuropathy and
  osteoarthritis.

• The full benefits of Acupuncture are yet to be
  explored and realized by the medical community,
  but it is very encouraging to see that drug-free
  means of healing are being integrated into
  Western treatment.
