Abstract
This strategic overview revisits some of the basic assumptions that relate to the clinical valuation of acupuncture. We look at the clinical and mechanistic evidence available to estimate both the specific and nonspecific effect size of acupuncture (efficacy and effectiveness) and consider the placebo within acupuncture trials. We hope that by taking a broad and rigorous approach we may arrive at a realistic and thoughtful evaluation of its relative value in comparison to placebo treatment.
