Acupuncture + Caring = Pain Relief?
A British university study is testing acupuncture to see if the relationship a practitioner has with their patient plays a role in healing.
Lead researcher Dr Peter White said his team were particularly interested in the whether the effects of acupuncture could be enhanced if the patient developed a good relationship with the practitioner.
"Perhaps complementary and alternative medicine treatments can present a valuable model design through which we may understand this process."
