Abstract

This article summarises the existing scientific evidence for the effectiveness and physiological plausibility of acupuncture. Studies and meta-analyses have already furnished a body of evidence of the clinical effectiveness of some indications, for example for post-operative nausea and vomiting, for back pain, headaches, pain caused by osteoarthritis of the knee, shoulder pains as well as post-operative pain. The physiological effects of acupuncture and the underlying mechanisms are diverse. These include peripheral processes, spinal processes and supraspinous/cerebral mechanisms. The limitations of the results, the significance of the context and the course of acupuncture must be taken into account.
