Title: Acupuncture survey : Please complete
Post by: Obi-Wan is lost... on April 18, 2011, 08:09:56 pm: A friend of mine is doing course in acupuncture and as part of her course needs to get some responses to this short and anonymous questionnaire. She is interested in perceptions about it so any response is useful regardless of your view.

Perceptions of UK Climbers to Acupuncture Survey (http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/JLTQZFK)

Cheers on her behalf.

Is there any evidence that acupuncture has a real effect?

Its a mixed bag, depends on symptom being treated and not always consistent (http://scholar.google.co.uk/scholar?q=systematic+review+acupuncture&hl=en&as_sdt=0&as_vis=1&oi=scholart)

Luckily i had it in my lower back so didn't have to see it. Just lay there going "don't think about it, don't think about it", while imagination runs riot and in my mind my back looks like Hellraiser.
