Research and Studies
Acupuncture by its very nature is an intricate manipulation of the body's energies, and affects the person being treated on both the physical and mental levels, effecting a holistic response.  Thus, it is not a modality that readily fits into the western model of double-blind research, which is always based on on  a defined set of parameters.  However, more and more studies, which show the efficacy of acupuncture for certain conditions or possibly explain how acupuncture may actually work, are being conducted.
