Abstract
Review Paper_How To Improve The Ethical Consideration of Acupuncture Clinical And Basic Research
Highlights
Introduction “Acupuncture" is originated from the Latin word 'Acus’ means needle, while ‘puncture' gives the meaning of dip or punch
It is impossible to perform on subjects who have acupuncture experience before as they may be able to differentiate the real acupuncture from sham controls
The disadvantage of non-inserted sham controls is that the blinding effects may not last long, as subjects may learn real acupuncture experiences through visits to other acupuncturists, or due to the therapeutic effects, they experience in long-term research studies
Summary
Introduction “Acupuncture" is originated from the Latin word 'Acus’ means needle, while ‘puncture' gives the meaning of dip or punch. Carrying Out Acupuncture Clinical Research and the Problem Faced Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were regarded as the "gold standard" for demonstrating the effectiveness of healthcare interventions among all of the controlled studies. The WHO issued the “Guidelines for Clinical Research on Acupuncture” which described the basic elements of clinical investigation on acupuncture and moxibustion, such as patient selection, blinding technique, study site, and control design [4].
