Acupuncture is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) as an alternative and complementary strategy in a group of clinical syndromes. Indication list of acupuncture includes chronic pain, migraine, stroke and some other neurological diseases. Meanwhile increasing clinical studies are evidenced the mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of acupuncture in stroke and chronic pain.But in some clinical conditions such as traumatic brain injury and neurogenic bladder methodology of studies are not sufficient as they did not yield the net effect of acupuncture. In conclusion acupuncture could improve clinical outcome in many chronic conditions if it is used as an adjunct to rehabilitation treatment.

Akupunktur Dünya Sağlık Örgütü (DSÖ) tarafından tavsiye edilen bir grup klinik sendromda kullanılan tamamlayıcı ve alternatif bir tedavi olarak tavsiye edilmektedir. Akupunkturun endikasyon listesine kronik ağrı, migren, inme ve diğer bazı nörolojik hastalıklar dahildir. Bu arada artan klinik araştırmalar, akupunkturun inme ve kronik ağrıda faydalı etkilerinin altında yatan mekanizmaları kanıtlamaktadır. Fakat travmatik beyin yaralanması ve nörojenik mesane gibi bazı klinik koşullarda çalışmaların metodolojisi yetersiz olduğu için bu alanlarda akupunkturun klinik etkileri belirgin olarak ortaya konulamamıştır.  Sonuç olarak akupuntur; rehabilitasyon tedavisinde mevcut tıbbi uygulamalara yardımcı olarak kullanıldığında birçok kronik hastalıkta sonuçların düzelmesine katkı sağlayabilecek bir yöntemdir.
