The Science of Acupuncture

And this is an acupuncture note or I.M. Pei's.

Planning takes time. And I'm proposing urban acupuncture.

Where are we going? Paul Gauguin Acupuncture makes use of the way the spiral human embryo resembles the spiral of the ear.

Some 36 of Chinese doctors think the effectiveness of acupuncture remains uncertain, perhaps because the scientific basis for it remains so new.

Almost all trials on acupuncture as a treatment for stroke conducted within China have been positive.

We do know that acupuncture is a safe, inexpensive, widely accepted, and potentially effective therapy.

More fundamentally, however, Chinese doctors who use traditional medicine argue that outcome measures of acupuncture as a treatment for stroke should be different from conventional measures used in Western trials, because the theory of acupuncture is different.

Recently, however, systematic scientific studies of acupuncture s effects in such treatment has begun.

And this is an acupuncture note or I.M. Pei's. Some small ones can make the city better.

At present, however, there is insufficient evidence for routine use of acupuncture in stroke.

Like many other traditional Chinese medicines, acupuncture has for many centuries been viewed suspiciously in the West. It seems to work, but how?

The Cochrane Collaboration, an international non profit organization providing healthcare information, conducted a systematic review of the benefits of acupuncture, including 14 trials, of which 10 were conducted in China, involving 1,208 patients.

After all, patients come to hospitals that practice traditional Chinese medicine because they already believe in acupuncture and are likely to be using it to treat another illness.

Getting such patients to accept being put into a control group where no acupuncture is applied is almost impossible.

It seems to work, but how? Is a scientific answer possible?

One survey showed that 66 of Chinese doctors use acupuncture routinely to treat the effects of stroke, with 63 of the doctors surveyed believing it to be effective.

And only three trials all conducted in Europe used sham acupuncture as a control, whereas no acupuncture trials controlled with placebos or sham acupuncture have been reported in China, owing to high cultural barriers.

Like many other traditional Chinese medicines, acupuncture has for many centuries been viewed suspiciously in the West.

In recent years, nontraditional medicine has expanded (chiropractic, acupuncture, folk healers, etc.), and 60 of those working in those areas are women.

But another recent study done in the UK showed that research conducted in several countries was uniformly favorable to acupuncture as a treatment for the damage caused by stroke.

The name is a reference to the acupuncture technique of moxibustion and was probably influenced by the introduction of electroacupuncture, in which the needles are augmented by an electric current, two decades earlier in France.

Most Chinese doctors and patients have, for example, long regarded acupuncture as an effective treatment for stroke, using it to improve motor, speech, and other functions that have been destroyed.

It is revealed that he is not a Chinese immigrant, and the Dr. Chen is merely an act so he will be taken seriously because, No one trusts an acupuncturist from New Jersey .

It's poking and prying with a purpose.

Indeed, the efficacy of acupuncture without stroke rehabilitation remains uncertain, mainly because of the poor quality of such studies a problem that has affected most of trials undertaken so far.

He studied acupuncture in Beijing as well as holistic medicine.

Indeed, another analysis, including 14 randomized trials with 1,213 patients six months after a stroke, compared the effects of conventional stroke rehabilitation with and without acupuncture as a supplement. Acupuncture was found to have no additional effect on motor recovery, but a small positive effect on disability, which may be due to a true placebo effect, or to the varied quality of the trials.

Particularly at a time when standard rehabilitation is not available for most Chinese stroke patients, few will wait to try acupuncture until its role is confirmed or refuted by reliable evidence.

And the man said, Really? And he showed him a dish full of needles.

Sometimes he gets a kind of a twinge like folks do for a change of weather.

The electric moxa, however, was not intended for acupuncture.

Some mad scientist is going to jab your arm with a needle and take four tubes of blood.

I spent many years in grad school trying to poke bees and do vaccines with needles.

Why don't you come join us?

You want to sing, do it with the needle, or you'll be out in the streets singing for your supper!
