The Internet Journal of Orthopedic Surgery, 09/25/09
Memon SD et al. – None of studies managed to prove dramatic improvement in chronic non–specific back pain, however, all 4 trials proved acupuncture is an effective treatment vs. no acupuncture. 2 trials reached to statistically significant levels, 1 proved long term benefit is more than short term effect and 1 trial with high power managed to reach to near statistically significant. Hence, acupuncture is a safe adjunct to conventional pain relief therapy.
