Not only is acupuncture better for lower back pain than drugs, exercise and physical therapy, but even fake acupuncture is more effective. In a study recently published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, German researchers put 1,000 people with chronic lower back pain into three groups: acupuncture, fake acupuncture (though they didn't know it, of course) or standard therapies. After six months, half the people receiving acupuncture -- real or fake -- reported improvement. Only one-quarter of those getting conventional therapies felt better. What to make of this weirdness? Well, on the one hand, if sticking acupuncture needles into random places (and avoiding those spots thought to relieve pain) worked just as well as real acupuncture, then the treatment might be, in a sense, a sham. But it would be much less of a sham than all the things we currently regard as legitimate therapies. How could it work, then? Perhaps it's the so-called "placebo effect" -- you believe you're going to get better, so you do. If so, this would doubly condemn drugs and exercise and physiotherapy as being too useless to even work as placebos. It's also possible that "fake" acupuncture evokes the same physiological response as real acupuncture -- something that would be a boon for do-it-yourself treatment. Ah, back pain! So mysterious that even evaluating the treatments requires a few shots in the dark
