Write a 6 page essay on Foundation in Acupuncture.

In fact, the confusion about acupuncture in current medical literature reflects the difficulty of studying acupuncture through randomised controlled trials, since it is difficult to blind a subject or investigator as to whether or not the subject was receiving the needle stick. Sham acupuncture will always have some effects since it intercepts some peripheral nerves, so a control is difficult to establish in different conditions. Moreover, acupuncture traditionally is used in chronic conditions, late in the course of the disease. This makes getting a statistical result difficult to obtain. Despite these drawbacks, considerable evidence from literature has accumulated which can serve as evidence in favour of its use in clinical practice (Gaw et al., 1975).

In this literature review, contemporary literatures on use of acupuncture in a chronic disease, osteoarthrosis will be critically reviewed in order to create an evidence base for clinical practice. Osteoarthritis is a disease of the knee joints with destruction of articular cartilages leading to pain and restriction of motion. There is no known cure for this disease in conventional medicine, and the goals of management are control of pain, improvement of function and health-related quality of life with avoidance of toxicity out of therapeutic agents (Kwon et al., 2006).
