This was a small trial designed to explore if acupuncture given on a regular basis using a simple set of acupuncture points was a safe and acceptable treatment for people with endometriosis. Only those in the acupuncture group showed improvements in both their pain scores during the period and also during the rest of the month. Similar results in the quality of life scores, with clinically relevant improvements in quality of life occurring in the acupuncture group only. Because of the design and size of the trial we cannot say acupuncture ‘works’ for endometriosis, but this is an important first step, with a large randomised controlled trial needed to confirm these early findings.
