Abstract

Background and Aims: The impact of application of acupunture has grown within the last years. This review lists the current state of clinical research regarding the evidence of acupuncture in the treatment of selected dermatological diseases and symptoms. Methods: The literature review was based on thorough screening of the databases of MEDLINE and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials until July 2008. Results: Due to the limited number of studies so far no recommendation can be given regarding the effectiveness of acupuncture as a means to treat dermatological diseases. Conclusions: However, using acupuncture to treat such symptoms as nausea, vomiting, postoperative pain and itch has shown beneficial effects. Further studies should be carried out addressing the many open questions.
