March 12, 2009 — Southern California University of Health Sciences (SCU) faculty members Li-Min Fu, Ju-Tzu Li, and Wen-Shuo Wu, have recently had an article titled “Randomized Controlled Trials of Acupuncture for Neck Pain: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis” accepted and published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, February 2009, 15(2): 133-145.  The objective of the study was to assess the effectiveness and efficacy of acupuncture in the treatment of neck pain.
