Special Issue on Acupuncture Techniques

Acupuncture is the stimulation of specific acupuncture points along the skin of the body. Traditional acupuncture involves needle insertion, moxibustion and cupping therapy which is a form of alternative medicine and a key component of traditional Chinese medicine. Acupuncture aims to treat a range of conditions, such as heat, pressure and pain. It is rarely used alone but rather as an adjunct to other treatment modalities. As Acupuncture Techniques play an important role in Chinese medicine, further research on application and efficacy is of great necessity and value.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring acupuncture techniques. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Clinical practice
• Needling technique
• Acupuncture points
• Safety and adverse events
• Chinese medicine
• Other alternative medicine

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue - Acupuncture Techniques” should be chosen during your submission.

According to the following timetable:
