Abstract: Acupuncture treatment and control group interventions in parallel-group randomised trials of acupuncture are not always precisely reported. In an attempt to improve standards, an international group of experienced acupuncturists and researchers devised a set of recommendations, designating them STRICTA: STandards for Reporting Interventions in Controlled Trials of Acupuncture. In a further consensus-building round, the editors of several journals helped redraft the recommendations. These follow the Consolidate… Show more

“…To improve the trial design quality, level of performance, and the degree of reporting of clinical trials on acupuncture, future researchers should follow not only the basic guidelines for reporting clinical trials such as the CONSORT statement, 71 but also the STRICTA recommendations, which provide specific guidelines for the reporting of acupuncture trials. 72 Most studies to date have been of short duration, varying from 4 to 12 weeks. Noting that obesity is a chronic condition, it is likely to require longer periods of acupuncture treatment.…”
