According to traditional Chinese medical theory, acupuncture points are situated on meridians along which Qi, the vital energy, flows. According to the National Institute of Health consensus statement on acupuncture, these traditional Chinese medical concepts “are difficult to reconcile with contemporary biomedical information but continue to play an important role in the evaluation of patients and the formulation of treatment in acupuncture.” Acupuncture has been the subject of active scientific research since the late 20th century. The World Health Organization endorses acupuncture for approximately two dozen conditions, and says evidence is suggestive, but inconclusive for several dozen more.
