Our Projects
The Institute’s research mission is to improve the quality, consistency, and transparency of acupuncture-based care through structured clinical research and outcome evaluation.
By focusing on common chronic and functional conditions—such as musculoskeletal pain and depressive disorders—the Institute’s research contributes to public health by exploring non-pharmacological, low-risk treatment approaches that may complement conventional care.
All research initiatives are designed to support practitioner education, inform clinical decision-making, and advance responsible modernization of integrative medicine practices.
