Aims and Scope

Acupuncture in Medicine, published by the British Medical Acupuncture Society (BMAS), contains articles on clinical, experimental, technical and basic science aspects of medical acupuncture and related techniques. It welcomes scientific reports, systematic and general reviews, audits, case reports, and other submissions that may be of interest to readers. All research papers are subjected to peer review.

Acupuncture in Medicine is a scientific and clinical journal aimed at Western-trained physicians and other health professionals, and uses the prevailing understanding of neurophysiology and anatomy to interpret the effects of acupuncture. The Journal largely restricts its published articles to this western approach. Clinical reports of the effects of traditional acupuncture will be considered and theoretical aspects that are evidence-based.
