Acupuncture in Medicine (AM)
Journal Descriptions
Acupuncture in Medicine is a peer-reviewed international medical journal dedicated to the scientific study and clinical application of acupuncture and related therapeutic techniques. Published by BMJ Group since 1992, the journal focuses on evaluating acupuncture through rigorous biomedical research, clinical trials, and evidence-based medicine approaches. The journal aims to bridge traditional acupuncture practices with modern clinical science, emphasizing safety, efficacy, and mechanistic understanding. It publishes original research articles, systematic reviews, clinical trials, case studies, and methodological papers that investigate how acupuncture can be applied in pain management, neurological disorders, musculoskeletal conditions, and rehabilitation medicine. A significant focus of the journal is on high-quality randomized controlled trials and systematic reviews that assess the therapeutic value of acupuncture in comparison with placebo or standard medical treatments. It also explores neurophysiological mechanisms, such as pain modulation, endorphin release, and nervous system stimulation. The journal serves clinicians, researchers, physiotherapists, anesthesiologists, and integrative medicine specialists. By maintaining strict scientific standards, Acupuncture in Medicine contributes to the global effort to evaluate complementary therapies within mainstream healthcare systems.
