Acupuncture-associated vasovagal response: revised terminology and hospital experience
Description
Med Acupunct (2017), Christensen, Kimberly.
Abstract
Vasovagal responses associated with acupuncture therapy are relatively uncommon adverse events, occurring in ~0.02%-7% of treatments. The complex neurocardiovascular reflexes involved in vasovagal responses can induce a range of symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, sweating, bradycardia, hypotension, and, in some cases, syncope or convulsions. Although patients typically recover quickly with proper support, these events may be of concern and anxiety-producing for both patient and provider. Providers need to promote safe practice environments, patient satisfaction and comfort, and cost-effectiveness.
