Pain Relief from Acupuncture is Real, Penn Study Finds
November 6, 2014
An article from WHYY says scientists have long puzzled over whether acupuncture relieves pain on its own or if it's a case of the placebo effect. In a new study led by researchers at Penn, acupuncture reduced pain by about 40 percent for a group of breast cancer patients, even for the women who did not believe it would work. To our surprise, we found actually in the real electro-acupuncture group, the expectation had no influence on outcome at all, said study author Jun Mao, MD, director of the Integrative Oncology Initiative at the Abramson Cancer Center. Patients performed equally well whether people believed in acupuncture or not.
