ACUPUNCTURE & VASOMOTOR SYMPTOMS

A Swedish study has shown acupuncture to be effective in reducing vasomotor symptoms (hot flushes) in men following castration therapy for prostatic carcinoma. Patients received twice weekly acupuncture for 2 weeks, and weekly for 10 weeks. Flushes were reduced by 70% after 10 weeks and was 50% lower 3 months after the last treatment (Journal of Urology 1999; 161(3); 853-856).
