Moxibustion is a popular and safe treatment intervention widely applied in clinical practice to manage various conditions including pain, inflammation, breech presentation, and stroke. Electronic moxibustion (EM), which produces heat stimulation by an electric device instead of burning moxa corn has been newly developed. Thread embedding acupuncture (TEA) is a special type of acupuncture treatment in which medical threads are inserted into subcutaneous tissues or muscles at therapeutic points. TEA is a medical practice that combines acupuncture and medical threads. Clinical evidence and safety related to EM and TEA will be presented in this review.
