Acupuncture is increasingly being used in the management of a wide range of symptoms. Despite decades of acupuncture research, a significant gap remains in translating evidence into specific and clear clinical guidelines for acupuncture practice. In this article, the authors discuss the gap between acupuncture research and clinical practice and exploring options to overcome the limitations of current clinical research of acupuncture.
