Abstract
GONG1 and LIU 2, 1 American Academy of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, Roseville, MN, 100015, USA. tcmhealth@aol.com ; 2 American Academy of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, Roseville, MN, 100015, USA present two acupuncture models to address controversial data interpretation issues in modern clinical trials.
Background
Modern clinical trials have produced controversial data interpretation which refutes conventional standard teachings and practices.
Methodology
Acupuncture scholars and practitioners have been stimulated to scrutinize these trials and analyze conventional practices. This paper presents two acupuncture models which address these issues.
Results
One rationalizes the clinical trial results with newer understanding of acupuncture points and techniques, while the other reconciles these results with rediscovered techniques of palpating points and performing needling.
Conclusion
These two models indicate that acupuncture is in transition from classical model to evidence-based models.
