Knee pain and mobility improved by acupuncture

A report of a new study shows that acupuncture is better than sham acupuncture at improving pain levels and knee flexibility for patients who have osteoarthritis of the knee.

What's more, acupuncture was shown to be significantly better than sham acupuncture.  And traditional acupuncture (referred to in this report as classical acupuncture) was significantly better than "modern" acupuncture. "Modern" acupuncture means the use of standardised points rather than the individualised diagnosis that traditional acupuncture involves.

48% of patients achieved a reduction in pain with sham acupuncture.
64% of patients achieved a reduction in pain with modern acupuncture.
73% of patients achieved a reduction in pain with traditional acupuncture.
