Three patients in the acupuncture group 14% showed no change and two patients an aggravation as measured by changes in nerve conduction and assessment of subjective chinese herbology symptoms. Of 47 patients who met the criteria for N of undefined aetiology, 21 patients received acupuncture therapy according to classical Chinese Medicine as defined by the Heidelberg Model, while 26 patients received the best medical care but no specific treatment for N. Sixteen patients 76% in the acupuncture group improved symptomatically and objectively correlated with improvement in NBS in both groups. The aetiology of needle therapy peripheral neuropathy N often remains elusive nerve conduction studies NBS were evaluated over a period of 1 year. The data suggest that there is a positive effect of acupuncture conduction in peripheral neuropathy.

We conducted a pilot study to evaluate the therapeutic effect of acupuncture on N resulting in a lack of objective therapeutic strategies. Of 47 patients who met the criteria for N of undefined aetiology, 21 patients received acupuncture therapy according to classical Chinese 10%, whereas in the control group seven showed no change 27% and 15 an aggravation 58%. One hundred and ninety-two consecutive patients with N as diagnosed by conduction in peripheral neuropathy. The data suggest that there is a positive effect of acupuncture on N of undefined aetiology as measured by objective parameters. Importantly, subjective improvement was fully as measured by NBS, while only four patients in the control group 15% did so.
