What Does the Research Say About Acupuncture and Depression?
Not many studies have looked specifically at acupuncture for the treatment of depression. Furthermore, the results of these studies have been mixed. Some studies have shown an improvement in depression symptoms following acupuncture treatment; others have shown no effect. Interestingly, one study looking at the effects of acupuncture in pregnant women with clinical depression did show an improvement in their symptoms following one month of treatment.
