Russ Chapman, Rosemary Norton and Dr Charlotte Paterson EJOM Vol. 3 No. 5
This article describes prospective and descriptive study of acupuncture patients' outcomes. It involved 13 acupuncture practices in South-west England, of which 12 were private practices and 1 was an NHS pain clinic. Over a year 291 patients were recruited to record their symptoms using the ‘Measure Yourself Medical Outcome Profile’ questionnaire. This was completed at the first and third visits, and by post 4 months after the first visit. There are extensive graphics illustrating the results.
