這是獨立Cochrane review 的評論，衛生部對針灸都有警告：

The conclusions of many trials and numeroussystematic reviews of acupuncture are largely inconsistent.^[10][13] An overview of Cochrane reviews found that acupuncture is not effective for a wide range of conditions, and they suggest it may be effective for only chemotherapy-induced nausea/vomiting, postoperative nausea/vomiting, and idiopathic headache.^[13] An overview of high-quality Cochrane reviews suggests that acupuncture may alleviate certain kinds of pain.^[14] A systematic review of systematic reviews found little evidence of acupuncture's effectiveness in treating pain.^[10] The evidence suggests that short-term treatment with acupuncture does not produce long-term benefits.^[15] Some research results suggest acupuncture can alleviate pain, though the majority of research suggests that acupuncture's effects are mainly due toplacebo.^[9] A systematic review concluded that the analgesic effect of acupuncture seemed to lack clinical relevance and could not be clearly distinguished from bias.^[16]
