Abstract in brief
Acupuncture is shown to be effective in reducing chronic pain across conditions like musculoskeletal pain, osteoarthritis, and headaches, with benefits lasting up to a year.
The study analyzed data from 39 trials involving over 20,000 patients, finding that acupuncture's effects were greater than both sham acupuncture and no treatment, though the size of the effect varied depending on the control used.
Factors such as the type of sham used and the intensity of interventions influenced the results, but overall, the findings support acupuncture as a beneficial treatment for chronic pain.

@tweetchw @artinspector @JochenCals @kwakzalverij @KNMG Ik krijg steeds meer de indruk dat sommige mensen wetenschappelijk onderzoek alleen accepteren als de uitkomst hen bevalt. Andersom geldt dat uiteraard ook. Men zoekt en vindt de informatie die hun mening bevestigt?

@soverny @SImon_inogad вопрос не в альтернативности а в эффективности. Основной вопрос к "психотерапевту" с энергетическим массажем. У него в профиле образование International School of Temple Arts, где все программы со словом Shamanic. Простите, но это шаман а не психотерапевт. https://t.co/qkviLwzi85

„Weitere Studien mit Vergleichen zur Scheinakupunktur sind nicht notwendig, um diese positive Wirkung zu bestätigen.“
Skeptisch und kritisch sein ja, aber fände hier „Pseudowissenschaft“ und „nicht wirksam“ zu hart gewählt.
These words written for MD's say it all "Treatment effects of acupuncture persist over time + cannot be explained solely in terms of placebo effects. Referral for acupuncture treatment is a reasonable option for a patient with chronic pain." https://t.co/lvC471NQcC https://t.co/H3bMnGBIOd
@Back_Pain_Coach @AdamMeakins The piece in the original tweet is a blog post by a known opponent to anything to do that doesn't agree with their biases. I'd rather stick with peer reviewed publication such as https://t.co/7P5cZHr9Ug
