Hello Assunta
There is a lot of literature about the effectiveness of acupuncture.
One of these references:
Tulder, M.W. van
The effectiveness of acupuncture in the management of acute and chronic
low back pain : a systematic review within the framework of the Cochrane
Collaboration Back Review Group / Tulder, M.W., van; Cherkin, D.C., ;
Berman, B., ; ... [et al.] -
Spine - Vol. 24, no. 11 (June 1, 1999) ; p. 1113-1123
