Objective.
To provide health care providers, patients, and the general public with a
responsible assessment of the use and effectiveness of acupuncture for a
variety of conditions
Conclusions.
Acupuncture as a therapeutic intervention is widely practiced in the United
States. While there have been many studies of its potential usefulness, many
of these studies provide equivocal results because of design, sample size,
and other factors. The issue is further complicated by inherent difficulties
in the use of appropriate controls, such as placebos and sham acupuncture
groups. However, promising results have emerged, for example, showing
efficacy of acupuncture in adult postoperative and chemotherapy nausea and
vomiting and in postoperative dental pain. There are other situations such
as addiction, stroke rehabilitation, headache, menstrual cramps, tennis
elbow, fibromyalgia, myofascial pain, osteoarthritis, low back pain, carpal
tunnel syndrome, and asthma, in which acupuncture may be useful as an
adjunct treatment or an acceptable alternative or be included in a
comprehensive management program. Further research is likely to uncover
additional areas where acupuncture interventions will be useful.
