In this study, the current evidence of acupuncture for patients with functional dyspepsia was examined (1). A comprehensive literature search was conducted to identify randomized controlled trials comparing acupuncture to sham acupuncture and medication use. The results showed that 16 trials were found. The majority of them were low quality. Positive results were found for acupuncture improving the Nepean Dyspepsia Index and scores of MOS short health survey in alleviating relevant symptoms. The authors conclude that based on the current evidence, acupuncture therapy achieves statistically significant effects for functional dyspepsia.
