Calling George Clooney
Here's hoping more Emergency Rooms introduce acupuncture for pain relief. The world's largest randomized controlled trial of the use of acupuncture in emergency departments has found the treatment is a safe and effective alternative to pain-relieving drugs for some patients.
IT WAS ALSO PREFERRED BY PATIENTS POLLED following treatment. There were three groups --and 48 hours post treatment, 82.8 per cent of acupuncture-only patients said they would probably or definitely repeat their treatment, compared with 80.8 per cent in the combined group (acupuncture plus pharmacotherapy), and 78.2 per cent in the pharmacotherapy-only group. https://goo.gl/jPMn3h
