Moxibustion

01/01/2022 - "The review demonstrated that a combination of moxibustion and conventional medicine (CM) significantly reduced pain intensity and improved the BMD compared with CM. Furthermore, it was found that moxibustion plus CM/moxibustion could improve response rates compared with CM.

It was also evident that the sample size of most outcomes was inadequate. "
