Fibromyalgia patients show a significant improvement with acupuncture

An Iranian study has compared two groups of patients suffering from fibromyalgia. One group received acupuncture, the other had the drug fluoxetine. The acupuncture group showed significant improvement in levels of pain and fatigue, compared to the group receiving fluoxetine. The patients were followed up one year later and the acupuncture group had continued to benefit, particularly in reduction of fatigue and anxiety.
