Acupuncture helping menopausal women sleep better


A study has just been published on the effect of acupuncture on the quality of sleep in menopause. Many women report an increase in insomnia in the menopausal and postmenopausal years. Although previous studies have apparently not fully demonstrated the efficacy of acupuncture, this one definitely demonstrates a positive effect. Acupuncture was compared with sham acupuncture and no acupuncture, and women were given five weeks of Acupuncture or sham acupuncture treatment.  

Menopausal women receiving true acupuncture reported an improved quality of sleep after treatment. Full details here.
