Writing Acupuncture Case Reports

Theory and Practice

Beschreibung

For centuries, case reports have been written to capture the realities of clinical practice. However, in recent years, with the advent of evidence-based medicine, case report writing has languished. Prioritizing evidence of large-scale clinical trials but neglecting insights gleaned from the clinical practice of traditional acupuncture may hold back its potential to address the needs of individual patients. 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. 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.
