Researchers at Heidelberg University Hospital in Germany found acupuncture patients could cover a greater distance while walking in the time allowed -- compared to placebo patients. The acupuncture patients recovered more quickly and tended to feel subjectively less exhausted. However, the researchers report measurable work capacity of the heart was unchanged.
The clinical pilot study, published in the journal Heart, compared heart failure patients on conventional medications and in stable condition given acupuncture on points, which according to Traditional Chinese Medicine boost general strength to a control group treated with placebo needles that did not break the skin."
