Understanding the research
Research findings vary by condition and study design, and they do not predict an individual response to treatment. The summaries below provide context for a conversation about your care.
1
Chronic neck pain relief
A comprehensive review of 29 trials with 17,922 patients revealed that acupuncture alleviated persistent pain from various ailments, such as osteoarthritis, migraines, and musculoskeletal disorders. This rigorous study appeared in the Archives of Internal Medicine in 2012. Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the skin to stimulate nerve endings and modulate pain signals
2
Osteoarthritis
In 2004, the Annals of Internal Medicine published a study that demonstrated the efficacy of acupuncture in alleviating pain and enhancing mobility for patients suffering from knee osteoarthritis. The study employed a randomised, controlled design and measured the outcomes of acupuncture treatment versus sham acupuncture or standard care. The results indicated that acupuncture was a viable and beneficial option for patients with chronic knee pain and impaired function.
3
Migraines
A comprehensive analysis conducted by Cochrane, a reputable network of researchers, examined the outcomes of 22 rigorous clinical trials that encompassed 4,419 subjects suffering from recurrent migraines. The analysis revealed that acupuncture, an ancient healing technique that involves inserting thin needles into specific points of the body, had a beneficial effect on reducing the occurrence of migraines in these subjects. The results suggested that acupuncture could be a viable alternative or complementary therapy for individuals who endure frequent episodes of this debilitating neurological disorder.
4
Massage for sciatica
According to a research article that appeared in the journal Pain Medicine in the year 2007, applying massage therapy as a complementary treatment was remarkably effective in alleviating the severity of pain experienced by patients after undergoing surgery. The study demonstrated the potential benefits of massage therapy for post-operative pain management.
5
Cancer treatment side effects
According to the National Cancer Institute, acupuncture is a viable alternative therapy for alleviating some of the adverse effects of cancer treatment. Acupuncture is an ancient technique that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to stimulate energy flow and restore balance. By doing so, acupuncture may help reduce the severity and frequency of nausea and vomiting, which are common symptoms experienced by cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Acupuncture may also improve the quality of life and well-being of cancer survivors.
6
Massage & post-operative pain
In 2007, Pain Medicine, a reputable journal in the field of pain management, published a study that demonstrated the efficacy of massage therapy for alleviating post-operative pain. The study employed rigorous methods and statistical analysis to compare the pain intensity scores of patients who received massage therapy with those who did not. The results indicated that massage therapy was a potent intervention that substantially diminished the severity of post-operative pain, thus enhancing the recovery and well-being of the patients.
7
Medical massage & fibromyalgia
According to a comprehensive meta-analysis published in 2014 by the journal Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, a five-week course of massage significantly alleviated the symptoms of pain, anxiety, and depression in patients suffering from fibromyalgia – a chronic condition characterised by widespread musculoskeletal discomfort, fatigue, and cognitive impairment. The systematic review examined the outcomes of nine rigorous clinical trials that evaluated the efficacy and safety of massage therapy as a complementary and alternative treatment for fibromyalgia.
8
Massage & chronic lower back pain
According to a scientific investigation conducted by researchers and published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine in the year 2011, the application of medical massage therapy, especially the technique of deep tissue massage, was effective in alleviating the discomfort and enhancing the mobility of individuals suffering from persistent lower back pain, a common and debilitating condition that affects millions of people worldwide.
9
Fibromyalgia
A comprehensive research project conducted by the renowned Mayo Clinic and published in the year 2006 proposed that the ancient practice of acupuncture could assist in diminishing the exhaustion and nervousness experienced by individuals afflicted with fibromyalgia, a chronic disorder characterised by widespread musculoskeletal pain. By doing so, acupuncture could enhance their well-being and happiness.
10
Stress & anxiety
A scholarly investigation published in the Journal of Acupuncture and Meridian Studies demonstrated that students who participated in a 20-minute acupuncture session exhibited lower levels of stress and anxiety than those who abstained from the treatment. Acupuncture, an ancient healing practice that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body, has been shown to have beneficial effects on various psychological and physiological conditions, such as depression, insomnia, chronic pain, and more.
