Acupuncture and Chronic pain – new research

[Nick Pahl, CEO, BAcC]

An analysis of patient data from 29 randomized controlled trials suggests that acupuncture may be better than no acupuncture or sham acupuncture for the treatment of some chronic pain, according to a report published by Archives of Internal Medicine, a JAMA Network publication.

The BAcC has been promoting this research via its PR agency and a brief will be provided in the Acupuncturist. For a summary see: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0910161548.htm
