Meta-Analysis: Acupuncture for Low Back Pain
TL;DR: Evidence is found that acupuncture is more effective than sham or no treatment for patients with chronic low back pain, and the hypothesis that treatment effect size is correlated with study quality, treatment factors, and patient factors is addressed.

Acupuncture for migraine prophylaxis
TL;DR: There is consistent evidence that acupuncture provides additional benefit to treatment of acute migraine attacks only or to routine care, and available studies suggest that acupuncture is at least as effective as, or possibly more effective than, prophylactic drug treatment, and has fewer adverse effects.
