ABSTRACT
There is a need for evidence-based scientific research to address the question of the effectiveness of acupuncture in improving clinical signs of laminitis in horses. The objective of this study was to compare lameness levels before and after 2 acupuncture treatments in horses with chronic laminitis. Twelve adult horses with chronic laminitis received 2 acupuncture treatments 1 week apart. The points were treated using dry needling, hemo-acupuncture, and aqua-acupuncture. Lameness level was objectively evaluated using an inertial sensor-based lameness evaluation system (Lameness Locator), as well as routine examinations following American Association of Equine Practitioners scoring before the first and 1 week after the second acupuncture treatment. Data were analyzed using Wilcoxon signed-rank test and P-values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Both the Lameness Locator (P = 0.0269) and routine lameness examination (P = 0.0039) showed a significant reduction in lameness severity. Our results support using acupuncture, along with other treatment options, in treating chronic equine laminitis.
Réponse à un traitement à l'acupuncture chez des chevaux atteints de laminite chronique. Il existe un besoin de recherche scientifique factuelle afin d'aborder la question de l'efficacité de l'acupuncture pour améliorer les signes cliniques de la laminite chez les chevaux. L'objectif de cette étude consistait à comparer les niveaux de boiterie avant et après deux traitements d'acupuncture chez des chevaux atteints de laminite chronique. Douze chevaux adultes souffrant de laminite chronique ont reçu deux traitements d'acupuncture à 1 semaine d'intervalle. Les points ont été traités en utilisant des aiguilles, l'hémo-acupuncture et l'aqua-acupuncture. Le niveau de boiterie a été évalué objectivement en utilisant un système inertiel d'évaluation de la boiterie à base de sonde (repérage de la boiterie) ainsi qu'à l'aide d'examens de routine en se basant sur la notation de l'American Association of Equine Practitioners avant le premier traitement et 1 semaine après le deuxième traitement d'acupuncture. Les données ont été analysées en utilisant les tests de rang signés de Wilcoxon et des valeurs P < 0,05 étaient considérées comme étant significatives sur le plan statistique. Le repérage de la boiterie (P = 0,0269) et l'examen de routine de la boiterie (P = 0,0039) ont montré une réduction significative de la gravité de la boiterie. Nos résultats appuient l'utilisation de l'acupuncture, conjointement à d'autres options de traitement, pour traiter la laminite équine chronique.(Traduit par Isabelle Vallières).
