Writing Acupuncture Case Reports: Theory and Practice

Writing Acupuncture Case Reports book cover

Writing Acupuncture Case Reports: Theory and Practice discusses the importance of writing acupuncture case reports for education, research, and practice. In addition to providing a step-by-step guide to writing a rigorous case report, this book outlines the benefits of case reports that extend beyond simply recording unusual clinical situations or warning of adverse effects. This book includes discussions on:

  • The history and reasons why case reports are written
  • Understanding why case reports are particularly useful for traditional acupuncture
  • The role of case reports in evidence-based medicine
  • How integrative case reports can provide a model for clinical practice
  • How to choose a patient from your practice for a compelling case report
  • How to submit your case report for publication

Writing Acupuncture Case Reports: Theory and Practice shows how case reports can be used to individualize effective treatment based on traditional theory, demonstrate a particular approach to acupuncture, or illustrate ways to collaborate in integrative practice. A close look at case reports reveals them to be an overlooked yet valuable source of evidence for patient-centered care that can still greatly advance the practice of acupuncture.
