Needle match
Inserting acupuncture needles in random places in the body is just as effective as placing them at traditional acupuncture points. So say doctors in Munich who treated 270 tension headache sufferers with either traditional or random needle placement. Both methods reduced headache occurrences by about half (British Medical Journal, DOI: 10.1136/bmj.38512.405440.8F).

I can't believe that I have to bang my
Head against this wall again
But the blows they have just a little more
Space in-between them
Gonna take a breath and try again.

Since I've quit smoking, I've been somewhat of a random prick.  Angry laugh
 
You can prick your finger in public, no problem.
If you finger your prick in public, it usually means probation and community service.  Undecided laugh

This proves what I always said, nothing more than placebo effect. I wonder how the supporters of the 'meridian' theory will wiggle out. Grin
 
I wish I was the patent holder of the drug 'Placebo', I'd be a rich man.

Your conclusions are rather different than the researchers who carried out the work - they concluded that "The acupuncture intervention investigated in this trial was more effective than no treatment but not significantly more effective than minimal acupuncture for the treatment of tension-type headache."
 
It does suggest that some of the effects of acupuncture are not dependent on meridians, but that is a statement most acupuncturists would agree with (independent of the  issue of whether meridians with specific effects exist).
