Study: Acupuncture Effective Pain Control
Dr. Philip Lang and colleagues of the University of Munich used quantitative sensory testing to explore changes in pain sensitivity with acupuncture in 24 healthy volunteers. Researchers found that pain thresholds increased by up to 50 percent after applying acupuncture. Effects were noted in both the treated and untreated area.
The study, published in the May issue of Anesthesia & Analgesia, offers further scientific validity for the use of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of pain.
