Are there studies to support the treatment of IBS with acupuncture?
There is very limited studies of acupuncture treatment and IBS. There’s some evidence that it may have some benefit, but some of the studies are very small and don’t show benefit, so I think we a need a higher quality, larger sample size studies to determine if it’s actually beneficial. A lot of patients were actually used acupuncture whereas far as scientific evidence, we don’t have that quite yet.
