This is the first book to set out a full range of research
strategies for evaluating the clinical practice of acupuncture.
Leading acupuncturists and researchers with international
reputations share their expertise. They illustrate their
descriptions with practical examples of what has worked and what
has not. It outlines many of the key challenges in the field. These
challenges relate to the nature of acupuncture and the gap between
current research evidence and the actual experiences of
acupuncturists in the field. By focusing the chapters on key
research questions, rather than methods, the book has a
user-friendly feel. Each chapter is easily accessible with brief
explanations of research designs as well as vignettes of relevant
past research. The book is based on a deep understanding of
acupuncture, with its inherent complexity in practice, whether
based on traditional principles or more modern concepts. By
incorporating a more sophisticated understanding of the field, this
book details a range of strategies aiming to develop the evidence
base with the utmost rigour. It is the first book on acupuncture
research to take this unique view, integrating the very best of
evidence-based medicine with a genuine sensitivity to the
discipline of acupuncture, from its traditional and holistic roots
to its more modern interpretations.
