Clinical Trials of Acupuncture
Acupuncture is one of the most thoroughly researched and documented of the alternative medical practices. A series of controlled studies has shown evidence for the effectiveness of acupuncture in the treatment of a variety of conditions, including
osteoarthritis, chemotherapy-induced nausea,asthma ,
back pain, painful menstrual cycles, bladder instability, and
migraine headaches. Studies on acupuncture also have shown positive results in the areas of
chronic pain management and in the management of drug addition, two areas where conventional Western medical therapy is very limited.
