It is often claimed that there is no evidence that acupuncture works. But that's not true. Just take a look at the Dutch Knowledge Centre Acupuncture on this website. There we publish step by step more and more available research on the effectiveness of acupuncture.
EBA Summaries
EBA stands for Evidence Based Acupuncture, which means 'acupuncture based on evidence'. Research on the effectiveness of acupuncture is being conducted worldwide. Fortunately, there are knowledgeable people who compile these studies. This makes the information readable and understandable for anyone interested, without requiring a university degree. For that, we are grateful!
