Summaries and Commentaries by Adrian White on a Selection of Recent Acupuncture Research Studies

Methods Sixty-eight patients with functional dyspepsia, as defi ned by Rome-II criteria, were randomised into two groups: 11 needles inserted either into six classical points (CV12, LI4, LR3, ST36, PC6 and SP4) or into undefi ned points about 1 cm away from those points. Six sessions were given over 2 weeks. To assess the effects of acupuncture, symptoms and quality of life were scored according to the Nepean Dyspepsia Index before and after acupuncture treatments. This Index assesses frequency, intensity and bothersomeness of symptoms.
