　　Results: The mean subjective pain rating among patients who received acupuncture for fibromyalgia did not differ from that in the pooled sham acupuncture group (mean between-group difference, 0.5 cm [95% ci, ╟0.3 cm to 1.2 cm]). Participant blinding was adequate throughout the trial, and no serious adverse effects were noted.
　　Limitations: A prescription of acupuncture at fixed points may differ from acupuncture administered in clinical settings, in which therapy is individualized and often combined with herbal supplementation and other adjunctive measures. A usual-care comparison group was not studied.
　　***Conclusion: Acupuncture was no better than sham acupuncture at relieving pain in fibromyalgia.****
　　結論:在緩解肌肉疼痛時，針灸穴位不比隨机針刺表現更好。
