Abstract:
Hypothetical experiments were done to examine various problems in the acupuncture research. Statistically significant suppressive effects of electroacupuncture (vs. control group) were demonstrated. A simple paper was made based on the hypothetical experimentation, and the insufficient descriptions, lack of experimental designs, errors in statistical methods were pointed out, then several comments were added. Several problems included in the multi-sample experimental designs and their statistical analysis in the acupuncture research were also discussed.
