IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0ACUS MEDICAL ACUPUNCTURE RESEARCH PROGRAM:ACUS EXPANDED ITS CLINICAL RESEARCH PROGRAM IN 2017. BUILDING ON THE PREVIOUS YEAR'S UTILIZATION STUDY, THE RESEARCH TEAM DRAFTED AND SUBMITTED THREE ARTICLES FOR PEER-REVIEWED SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS. ALL WERE ACCEPTED AND APPEARED IN PUBLICATIONS STARTING IN AUGUST 2017. TWO MORE ARTICLES ARE IN PROGRESS. RESULTS OF THE ACUS-FUNDED STUDY DEMONSTRATE SOCIAL PERCEPTIONS OF ACUPUNCTURE TO BE OVERWHELMINGLY POSITIVE. CLINICAL IMPACTS INCLUDE PRESCRIPTION REDUCTIONS (E.G., OPIOIDS, SLEEP AIDS, ANTIDEPRESSANTS), WHICH ALSO DOUBLE AS METRICS THAT TRACK THE SUCCESS OF THE ACUS FLAGSHIP TRAINING PROGRAM. (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O)IN 2017, THE ACUS RESEARCH TEAM ALSO BEGAN TO DESIGN A RANDOMIZED CONTROL TRIAL (RCT) THAT WILL ASSESS THE EFFECTIVENESS OF MEDICAL ACUPUNCTURE ON SLEEP DISTURBANCES (E.G., NIGHTMARES, NIGHTTIME FLASHBACKS, INSOMNIA), AMONG THE MOST SIGNIFICANT SYMPTOMS OF POST-TRAUMATIC STRESS.
