Although acupuncture has been around for 3,000 years and is often used today to treat pain in both people and animals, there are still research questions to be answered, including whether it matters where needles are placed on the body.
In a recent article in the magazine Discover, Dr. Helene Langevin, Director of the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, explains how her experiences treating pain patients led to her interest in acupuncture research. She also talks about why she thinks there’s a need for a reliable database on acupuncture point locations to help resolve the debate about needle placement.
