Standards for Reporting Electroacupuncture Parameters

Reporting of electronic and other key experimental parameters in published experiments using electroacupuncture (EA) may be insufficient to enable reliable clinical and research replication. A proposal for more-vigorous electronic-stimulation parameters is described in this article. These parameters can enable more-accurate reporting on electric stimulation for accurate reproduction of EA procedures. This may influence reporting favorably with respect to accurate clinical electrical dosages, leading to more-effective patient therapeutic protocols and reproducible results.
