Abstract
Since the 1970s the scientific interest on acupuncture had risen sharply, as it offered many advantages to an exclusive western medicament therapy for many sicknesses.
There already was some acupuncture practice in Germany in the 1950 by few doctors.[1] Still 20 years ago, it was practized as an exotic outsider method by only few hundred practitioners. In the meantime, it has become one of the acknowledged standard therapies of chronic pain because in the 1970s the scientific interest on acupuncture had risen sharply as it offered many advantages to an exclusive western medicament therapy for many sicknesses.[2]
In 1997 acupuncture was officially acknowledged in the USA by a commission of the National Institute of Health and being considered effective for numerous sicknesses.[3]
