针灸研究的挑战之一是设计适当的对照组。为了解决这个问题，在手术拔除第三磨牙后，19名患者被随机分配到针刺组（n = 11）或安慰剂针刺组（n = 8）。通过标准患者自我报告记录口腔手术后达到中度疼痛的时间长度和疼痛强度。结果表明，接受针灸治疗的受试者报告了更长的无痛持续时间（平均值，181对71分钟; p小于或等于0.046），并且比接受安慰剂针灸的受试者经历了更少的疼痛强度。这项研究提供了一个针灸对照模型，可以检查临床针灸研究中的安慰剂效应。
One of the challenges of acupuncture research is designing appropriate control groups. To address this problem, after surgical third molar extractions 19 patients were randomly assigned to an acupuncture group (n = 11) or a placebo acupuncture group (n = 8). The length of time for reaching moderate pain and pain intensity after oral surgery were recorded by standard patient self-report. The results indicated that subjects treated with acupuncture reported longer pain-free duration times (mean, 181 versus 71 minutes; p less than or equal to 0.046) and experienced less pain intensity than those who received placebo acupuncture. This study provides a model for an acupuncture control that could examine the placebo effect in clinical acupuncture research.
