Acupuncture for depression
Acupuncture produces significant changes in parts of the brain that regulate emotional states and is a biologically plausible treatment for depression and other neuropsychiatric disorders, UNSW researchers have shown for the first time.
The internet is flush with dubious claims about health and medicine based on hearsay, opinion, imagination, and unsystematic evidence. This blog restricts itself to the presentation of clinical evidence based on systematic research as reported in peer-reviewed journals of medical science. Acupuncture has been practiced for thousands of years, but only by becoming evidence-based can the practice of acupuncture be better understood, accepted and improved.
