Research showed:
Sham acupuncture reduced arm pain more than true acupuncture during treatment, but the difference did not persist after 1 month. Mild side effects from true acupuncture may have blunted any positive treatment effects. Overall, this study did not find evidence to support the effectiveness of true acupuncture in treatment of persistent arm pain due to repetitive use
So,Do you Trust general acupuncture have permently affect on pain condition?,Deep and intensive acupuncture is better.
