This book provides a clear and accessible overview of the theoretical foundations of electroacupuncture (EA), together with experimental and clinical evidence for the usefulness of electroacupuncture in its various forms. It also serves as a manual for the effective clinical practice of electroacupuncture, with a number of illustrative case histories. It serves as an excellent background to the subject, covering all the key information a beginner practitioner would need to know, as well as exploring avenues for advanced practice.

The publication is divided into two parts, the book itself and the accompanying CD-Rom. In additional, the extensive database of more than 8,000 clinical studies on the CD-Rom is accessible via the internet, at www.electroacupunctureknowledge.com .

While the book itself can be read cover to cover, or as a reference work, and provides quite enough information to permit safe and effective treatment of many conditions, it can be used as a portal to the CD-Rom, which is designed more as a research resource, with considerably more information on most topics. Much fuller versions of the chapters in the book are browsable on the CD-Rom, in addition to the database and other material.

The book is divided into the following three parts:

Part I of the book includes an introduction to the historical background of EA.
Part II, Scientific and Clinical Foundations, is about electroacupuncture research and its clinical application, its main aim is to present the evidence for how and whether electroacupuncture works, so that readers can then make more informed decisions in clinical practice. It starts with detailed discussions of the relevant EA research issues, electrotherapy and neuroscience, followed by in-depth description of the experimental and clinical literature.
Part III focuses on the technology involved and its application in clinical practice. Appendices on useful resources and terminology, and the teaching of electroacupuncture in North America, can be found on the CD-Rom.
