\u2018Review of reviews\u2019 supports use of acupuncture for menopause symptoms<\/b><\/p>\n
A large systematic review<\/a> (a \u2018review of reviews\u2019) – the apex of the hierarchy of scientific evidence – \u00a0has\u00a0found that acupuncture works\u00a0for menopausal symptoms. American researchers\u00a0included\u00a0three systematic reviews and four randomised controlled trials (involving a total of 1823 women)\u00a0in their study. Acupuncture was\u00a0found to be significantly effective\u00a0for reducing hot flushes and night sweats, and thus improving women’s quality of life. Some of the studies even showed that these improvements were\u00a0maintained for a year or more. The authors concluded that this evidence supports the use of acupuncture in the treatment of menopause-related symptoms.
