I've recently read about a study conducted by University of Regensberg, Germany that found 47% of chronic back pain patients who received acupuncture treatment showed significant improvement versus just 27% of patients who undergone conventional treatment. There were 1,100 patients in these trials.
This study was later backed up by a team of British researchers at the University of York, who reported similar findings among 240 patients treated, in the British Medical Journal.
