Acupuncture for Tourette Syndrome: A Systematic Review

2016 Sep 20   Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine   Yu, J., Ye, Y., Liu, J., et al.

The combined results show that acupuncture may have a better short-term effect than Western medicine for Tourette syndrome and that acupuncture may be an effective adjuvant therapy in improving the effectiveness of Western medicine on Tourette syndrome, but the evidence is limited because of existing biases. Rigorous high-quality randomised controlled trials are needed to verify these findings.
