Abstract

Stress is a phsyical and psychological response to perceived demands and pressures. Inability to cope can lead to a variety of symptoms of ill health which may lead to serious chronic conditions. Traditional Chinese Acupuncture (TCA) has a holistic approach. Its traditional theories have provided a framework over thousands of years and take into account how a poor environment and / or a disturbed mental state has a close connection with disease; therefore symptoms of stress and treatment theory have been an integral part of Chinese medicine over a long history.
This pilot study used a mixed methods approach, combining a randomised controlled trial, case study reports and focus groups to investigate whether TCA was effective in the treatment of adults experiencing symptoms of chronic stress.
