Abstract EN
At the moment, modernization of acupuncture has a high priority.
On the traditional side, acupuncture has only recently been awarded the status of Intangible Cultural Heritage by the UNESCO.
On the innovative side, high-tech acupuncture is a registered trademark in Austria.
Acupuncture has been used for medical treatment for thousands of years.
A large number of empirical data are available but the technical quantification of effects was not possible up to now.
Using electroacupuncture, needle, or laser stimulation and modern biomedical techniques, it was possible for the first time to quantify changes in biological activities caused by acupuncture.
This paper which serves as introduction for the special issue “High-Tech Acupuncture and Integrative Laser Medicine” of the present journal, focuses on the latest innovative aspects that underline the further enhancement and development of acupuncture.
Special emphasis is given to new methodological and technical investigations, for example, results obtained from all kinds of acupuncture innovations (e.g., teleacupuncture) and integrative laser medicine.
