In 1998, the United States National Institutes of Health (NIH) held a consensus conference and endorsed the practice of acupuncture as an effective pain control agent - since then acupuncture has become even more popular.Clinical practice is always an inviting form of research. In the field of acupuncture, research concentrates on the neurological pathways of the meridians and acupoints, the neurological functional change 410 0$aAnnals of traditional Chinese medicine ;$vv. 5. 606 $aAcupuncture 606 $aEvidence-based medicine 615 0$aAcupuncture. 615 0$aEvidence-based medicine. 676 $a615.8/92 700 $aLiu$b Tang-Yi$01720342 701 $aLeung$b Ping-Chung$f1941-$01612953 701 $aLiu$b Tang-Yi$01720342 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816077703321 996 $aEvidence-based acupuncture$94118915 997 $aUNINA
