A recent study out of Portugal found that incorporating acupuncture into dialysis treatments had noteworthy benefits for patients—and was quite comfortable despite the needles. Acupuncture treatments were administered simultaneously alongside dialysis treatments.
In the study, “Integrating Acupuncture Into a Dialysis Center,” published in Healthcare in May, the authors note that there’s a growing interest in creating a more comprehensive approach to health care by integrating traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) into conventional medicine.
