Edited by Jacqueline Filshie and Adrian White, this well-written book represents perhaps the most thorough, thoughtful, and balanced presentation of a scientifically-based model of acupuncture yet published. Each chapter presents its topics in a clear and readable fashion. The reviews of the clinical trial literature are very impressive. For those who find acupuncture to be a useful therapy, but who have difficulty accepting its traditional explanatory models, this will be a refreshing resource.

Chapters include: Electroacupuncture and acupuncture analgesia, Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, Laser therapy, Clinical evaluation of acupuncture, Clinical use of acupuncture, Acupuncture for nausea and vomiting, Acupuncture in pain clinic, Acupuncture for the withdrawal of habituating substances, Adverse reactions to acupuncture and much more.
