148 WEBER ET AL. FIG. 9. Ear acupuncture with red laser needles in smoking addiction. The first developed laser-needle system (8 needles only, red light at 680 nm) had an especially beneficial effect on structures close to the surface, such as tendinites and neuri- tides, or in the area of small finger joints. However, a clin- ical double-blind study (Weber et al, unpublished data, 2007) showed that the red light laser needles did not exceed placebo effects with regard to lumbar spine syndromes. This first disappointing result was because the penetration depth of red laser light is not high enough to stimulate points in the depth of the tissue (e.g., in the Bladder Meridian). There- fore, a combination of 6 red (658 nm) and 6 infrared (810 nm) laser needles were used in a new advanced laser-nee- dle system as described above, and significantly better re- sults were achieved with regard to the described syndromes. In Germany (2001-2006), the world’s largest acupuncture study was undertaken. This study, the German Acupuncture Trial (Gerac-study), initiated by the government and health insurance companies, examined 2,201 patients with low back pain, gonarthrosis, and headache/migraine. Patients were randomly assigned to treatment with TCM needle acupuncture, sham acupuncture, or a conventional therapy. Additionally, a cohort study with 367,646 patients was per- Orthopedics Gonarthrosis (n 425) Spinal column syndromes (n 405) Tennis elbow (n 144) Coxarthrosis (n 135) Shoulder syndromes (n 127) Morbus Bechterew and polyarthritis (n 88) Tendinitis (n 88) Rhizarthrosis (n 48) Fibromyalgia (n 28) *Patients receiving 10 treatments.
