News and current affairs
Like many other traditional Chinese medicines, acupuncture has for many centuries been viewed suspiciously in the West.
Most Chinese doctors and patients have, for example, long regarded acupuncture as an effective treatment for stroke, using it to improve motor, speech, and other functions that have been destroyed.
Recently, however, systematic scientific studies of acupuncture's effects in such treatment has begun.
Almost all trials on acupuncture as a treatment for stroke conducted within China have been positive.
But another recent study done in the UK showed that research conducted in several countries was uniformly favorable to acupuncture as a treatment for the damage caused by stroke.
The Cochrane Collaboration, an international non-profit organization providing healthcare information, conducted a systematic review of the benefits of acupuncture, including 14 trials, of which 10 were conducted in China, involving 1,208 patients.
Acupuncture started within 30 days of stroke onset, with control groups receiving a placebo - sham acupuncture - or no treatment.
Compared to patients who received sham acupuncture or no treatment, far fewer of those who received acupuncture died or became invalid within three months.
After three months or more of treatment, the numbers rose even more significantly in favor of those treated by acupuncture.
Oddly, when comparing acupuncture with sham acupuncture, the statistical difference concerning death or the need for institutional care was small.
Indeed, another analysis, including 14 randomized trials with 1,213 patients six months after a stroke, compared the effects of conventional stroke rehabilitation with and without acupuncture as a supplement.
Indeed, the efficacy of acupuncture without stroke rehabilitation remains uncertain, mainly because of the poor quality of such studies-a problem that has affected most of trials undertaken so far.
After all, patients come to hospitals that practice traditional Chinese medicine because they already believe in acupuncture and are likely to be using it to treat another illness.
Getting such patients to accept being put into a control group where no acupuncture is applied is almost impossible.
Imagine a child's experience a century ago or earlier. Some 5,000 years ago, the Chinese used acupuncture, not dental care, to treat toothaches.
