Annual Evidence Update on Acupuncture (Complementary and Alternative Medicine Specialist Library)
http://www.library.nhs.uk/cam
The Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) Specialist Library presents an Annual Evidence Update (AEU) on Acupuncture from 20 April. The Library has carried out a comprehensive search of a number of databases and used strict selection criteria for the identified studies, in order to base the annual update on the best current evidence available. This update provides a summary of systematic reviews, large RCTs and other relevant studies published in the twelve months since the 2008 AEU on Acupuncture.

The National Library for Health (NLH) Specialist Libraries have been developed to identify and meet the information needs of particular communities of practice. They are web-based collections containing clinical and non-clinical information on the major health priority areas. Each NLH Specialist Library identifies and provides access to quality assessed information of relevance to the community that it serves. An aspect of this involves the production of Annual Evidence Updates, which aim to highlight the best current evidence for selected healthcare topics. Annual Evidence Updates consist of the good quality evidence from a search of research evidence on a particular topic over a 12 month period, plus user-friendly summaries written by relevant experts, and links to guidelines, secondary research and primary research, if applicable. All information included in Annual Evidence Updates has been subject to rigorous selection criteria.
