Sommario/riassunto

The therapy of acupuncture has a long history. In its 2500 years of development, a wealth of experience has been accumulated, attesting to the wide range of diseases and conditions that can effectively be treated with its approach. In the past two decades, there have been extensive studies on acupuncture and great efforts have been undertaken to conduct controlled clinical trials, including the use of ''sham'' acupuncture or ''placebo'' acupuncture controls. This document is a brief review of the current literature on acupuncture practice, which may provide information about the effectiveness
