Conditions Treated

The World Health Organization, working with the National Institute of Health, put together a team of scientists to produce a consultation paper on acupuncture. This was published in 2003. It brought together evidence from 255 clinical trials that were published before the beginning of 1999. Later research, conducted by the NIH, stated that, along with pain relief, there is evidence that acupuncture helped relieve 50 other health problems. The WHO recommends acupuncture for these diseases, symptoms or conditions, because acupuncture has been “proven – through controlled trials – to be an effective treatment”:
