More evidence for acupuncture as Fibromyalgia treatmentFriday 26 April 2013
From About.com's Adrienne Dellwo:
More Evidence for Acupuncture as Fibromyalgia Treatment Research Brief A new study published in Rheumatology International suggests that dry needling (another name for acupuncture) is an effective treatment for fibromyalgia. Researchers gave 60 people with fibromyalgia weekly dry-needling sessions for six weeks. At the end of the study period, the treatment group showed significant improvement when compared to the control group. The symptoms that improved included:
At a check up six weeks after the treatment period ended, the dry-needling group still showed significant improvement. Learn more about dry needling/acupuncture: Acupuncture for Fibromyalgia. I've had huge successes with acupuncture, both for fibromyalgia and myofascial pain syndrome (which I believe led to the fibromyalgia.) It reduced my overall pain, anxiety, fatigue, and fibro fog - all of which made me much more functional. Have you had acupuncture? How did it work for you? Is it something you've considered?
