In this section you will find an overview of several databases containing acupuncture research.

• British Acupuncture Council (BAC) Research fact sheets A highly accessible database with a compilation of articles, alphabetically and organized by complaint. For questions and any more recent updates, it is best to contact ARRC (Acupuncture Research Resource Center) via the contact form on their website.

• British Acupuncture Council (BAC) Public review papers
  This database contains more extensive summaries for a number of complaints than the Research Fact Sheet database, including recommendations for (para)medics.

• Cochrane database
  Whether you are a doctor, nurse, patient, caregiver, researcher, or funder: the Cochrane database is a powerful tool to enhance your knowledge of healthcare and decision-making. For example, the Cochrane database provides a recommendation for acupuncture in cases of migraine.

• Evidence Based Acupuncture
  This database is organized by functional systems such as heart conditions, respiratory conditions, and digestive conditions. Additionally, this website provides further information on Evidence Based Medicine.
  

• Electroacupunctureknowledge 
  This database mainly contains research from before 2005, but an update is in progress. Contrary to what the name suggests, you will also find information here on manual acupuncture and more. The database is well-structured.

• Needling.org
  Needling-concepts will tell you everything about the use of needles in clinical practice. Needles have been used since ancient times in China and are the primary tool in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The diversity in needle usage has significantly increased in recent decades. Skills such as dry needling and percutaneous nerve stimulation have become extremely popular.
