ZNANOST I AKUPUNKTURA
Ova stranica posvećena je znanstvenim istraživanjima u akupunkturi, stoga ovdje možete pročitati najnovije publikacije objavljene u prestižnim britanskim i američkim časopisima o medicinskoj akupunkturi. Akupunktura ima dugu tradiciju utemeljenu na iskustvu, njezina učinkovitost kod određenih poremećaja zdravlja je neupitna, ali za daljnji napredak su potrebni alati suvremene znanosti. Naime, uvidom u mehanizme kojima djeluje akupunktura otvaraju se nove mogućnosti u primjeni, šire se indikacije te poboljšava učinkovitost i sigurnost akupunkture. Ovu uvodnu misao najbolje potvrđuju riječi jednog uvaženog stručnjaka i znanstvenika:

"- Kwokming James Cheng , MDTo advance our understanding of its mechanism of action, acupuncture needs to be formulated on modern neuroanatomy and physiology rather than metaphysical concepts. To incorporate acupuncture into mainstream medicine, it needs to be evidence-based rather than anecdotal. The theory and practice of acupuncture that does not follow scientific principles or clinical evidence will not evolve as science advances nor refine itself as clinical data emerge, but the theory and practice of neuroanatomical evidence-based acupuncture will."
