Does acupuncture work? All these lines and points drawn by supporters of alternative medicine🤔 Well, we may disappoint someone, but the verdict on this has long been laid out. Acupuncture is not an effective treatment, has no scientific basis and is a placebo manipulation. However, medicine is now in doubt about this verdict. Acupuncture is now rather positioned as a technique with "uncertain clinical relevance". Official medicine of course does not suggest the influence of these procedures through "etheric currents inside the person". But there is some positive evidence. For example, acupuncture may be effective in the management of chronic pain in people with fibromyalgia. How and why? Well, there is no clear answer to that question. And there is no evidence of a positive effect of acupuncture in 99% of its "indications"🙌🏻
