The Difficulties in Researching Acupuncture

If you've been reading this blog for any amount of time, you've heard me discuss the difficulties with doing placebo-controlled research on acupuncture.  Here's one such post.


I came across this article today which very beautifully describes some of the issues that arise when we try to put acupuncture into the standard biomedical model of research.  It also explains how studies designed to test acupuncture against standard biomedical care show the reality - acupuncture is a viable treatment method that can compete against medications without the side effects!
