•Acupuncture decreased opioid consumption in dogs undergoing spinal surgery.•Acupuncture improved analgesia after hemilaminectomy in dogs.•Acupuncture was not associated with side effects.•Acupuncture did not increase the anaesthetic time.•Combining behavioural scales and mechanical thresholds was useful to assess pain. The aim of this study was to investigate the analgesic efficacy of a preoperative acupuncture treatment in 24 client-owned dogs undergoing thoracolumbar hemilaminectomy. Dogs were randomly assigned to either group A (Acupuncture) or group C (Control). Before skin incision, group A was treated with acupuncture, performed under general anaesthesia for 30 min. Rescue intraoperative fentanyl was administered following a 20% increase in cardiovascular parameters compared to baseline values, measured before incision. An observer masked to the treatment assessed pain, pre- and postoperatively, with the Glasgow (GCPS), the Colorado (CPS) pain scales and a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS); additionally, the mechanical thresholds (MT) were measured with the Electronic von Frey Anaesthesiometer (EVF) at four points located near the herniated disc. The groups were compared with respect to intraoperative cardiovascular and respiratory variables, rescue fentanyl administered in total and at different surgical events (first incision FI, drilling DR, disc removal RE and skin suturing ST), and pre- and postoperative pain scores and MT. Group A received less fentanyl than group C (P = 0.014); this difference was significant at FI P = 0.035) and RE (P = 0.004). The improvement in postoperative CPS score (P = 0.013), VAS score (P = 0.003) and MT (P = 0.001) compared to preoperative values was greater for group A than for group C, whereas the treatment assignment had no effect on postoperative changes in GCPS compared to baseline. Pre-operative acupuncture may help improving perioperative analgesia in dogs with intervertebral disc herniation undergoing thoracolumbar hemilaminectomy.
