Translating Fundamental Science of Acupuncture into Clinical Practice

In February, the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health (NCCIH) organized a 2-day workshop “Translating Fundamental Science of Acupuncture into Clinical Practice”, at the National Library of Medicine, Bethesda, MD. The workshop discusses  1) specific effect of the acupuncture intervention: neural mechanism and pathways, 2) non-specific effect of the acupuncture intervention, and 3) overcome the barriers of clinical research of acupuncture. Workshop participants presented the results of clinical trials of acupuncture, which showed that acupuncture can reduce pain.
