significant.These event rates are per consultation, and they do not give the risk individual patient.Demographic data suggest that acupuncturist volunteers were reasonably representative of mem-bers two societies, but over-reporting underreporting inherently possible in such studies.High may be due to a low personal threshold for reporting, or indicate need further training acupuncturist.Some avoidable adverse events occurred, acupuncturists might consider modifying their practice reduce...

In November 2007, the Society for Acupuncture Research (SAR) held an international symposium to mark 10th anniversary of 1997 NIH Consensus Development Conference on Acupuncture. The presentations revealed considerable maturation field acupuncture research, yet two provocative paradoxes emerged. First, a number well-designed clinical trials have reported that true is superior usual care, but does not significantly outperform sham acupuncture, findings apparently at odds with traditional...

Acupuncture treatment and control group interventions in parallel-group randomized trials of acupuncture are not always precisely reported. In an attempt to improve standards, international experienced acupuncturists researchers devised a set recommendations, designating them STRICTA: STandards for Reporting Interventions Controlled Trials Acupuncture. further consensus-building round, the editors several journals helped redraft recommendations. These follow Consolidated Standards (CONSORT)...
To explore the strengths and weaknesses of conventional biomedical research strategies methods as applied to complementary alternative medicine (CAM), suggest a new framework for assessing these treatment modalities.There appears be gap between published studies showing little or no efficacy CAM, reports substantial clinical benefit from patients CAM practitioners. This "gap" might partially due current focus on placebo-controlled randomized trials, which are appropriately designed answer...

BackgroundWe investigated whether there had been an improvement in quality of reporting for randomised controlled trials acupuncture since the publication STRICTA and CONSORT statements. We conducted a before-and-after study, comparing ratings following both recommendations.Methodology Principal FindingsNinety peer reviewed journal articles results were selected at random from wider sample frame 266 papers. Papers published three distinct time periods (1994–1995, 1999–2000 2004–2005)...
