Acupuncture Neuropathic Pain

This journal article presents findings from a study into the efficacy of acupuncture on neuropathic pain management. The main argument of the article is that multidisciplinary approaches including various interventional procedures are required in order to manage neuropathic pain. The main point of view that the authors are trying to get across to readers is that acupuncture is a commonly used intervention for pain management and evidence suggest that acupuncture may be effective for treating neuropathic pain. Pre-clinical and clinical studies were conducted including interventions such as electroacu-puncture, traditional acupuncture, auricular acupuncture and apipuncture. Overall, these studies found that acupuncture may be an alternative treatment
for neuropathic pain as it is minimally invasive without serious side-effects and increases quality of life.
