Abstract
Three very large research programmes ("model programmes") on acupuncture for chronic pain were conducted in Germany in recent years. They included observational studies as well as various randomised controlled clinical trials (RCTs). The results from the "sham"-controlled randomised trials and their clinical and methodological implications have generated a great deal of debate among both acupuncturists and non-acupuncturists. This article briefly summarises the designs and main results of the various RCTs from the German "model programmes", and discusses some of their implications.
