TY - JOUR AU - Yang, Yan AU - Litscher, Gerhard PY - 2020 DA - 2020/01/14 TI - Gender Differences in Manual, Electro, and Laser Acupuncture JO - OBM Integrative and Complementary Medicine SP - 003 VL - 05 IS - 01 AB - Acupuncture, being a unique method, is a millennia-old tradition in the field of Chinese medicine. However, it is surprising that there are very few scientific publications on acupuncture and its gender-specific effects. This article summarizes the previous work from the perspective of both Western and Eastern medicine, involving manual acupuncture, electro-acupuncture, and modern innovative laser acupuncture. There is scientific evidence that future gender-specific considerations should be included in the assessment of acupuncture therapy success. Thus this topic is interesting and provides leads for future research to the international research community.
