Electroacupuncture
Electroacupuncture is a form of acupuncture where a small electric current is passed between pairs of acupuncture needles. Another term is percutaneous electrical nerve stimulation. According to some acupuncturists, this practice augments the use of regular acupuncture, can restore health and well-being, and is particularly good for treating pain. For the most part, there is insufficient scientific evidence regarding the safety or efficacy of electroacupuncture. There is evidence for some efficacy in treating moderate post-chemotherapy vomiting, but not for acute vomiting or delayed nausea severity. The Medical Letter on Drugs and Therapeutics advises doctors to tell their patients that devices used for electroacupuncture and electro interstitial scanning "lack a scientifically plausible rationale and should be regarded as bogus."
