Discuss acupuncture and fibromyalgia

I've never really thought about treating fibromyalgia with acupuncture. Do you have any links to studies on the topic? I've always been interested in Eastern Medicine from afar, but have only done a cursory overview of what is out there. I suppose one would need multiple lifetimes to study thousands of years of traditional medicine, but if you have anything specific to this condition, I would appreciate any input. Thanks! -Pat

Multiple study from both the East and the West propose that acupuncture is effectual for treat FMS. In the West, it hasn't been deliberate as much for ME/CFS, but a lot of Chinese study proposes it's effective for that state. Meta analysis of acupuncture for together conditions concludes that it appear to be a helpful action, but that further high-class research is wanted.
