A Multicenter Prospective Survey of Adverse Events Associated with Acupuncture and Moxibustion in Japan.

There have been only a few prospective surveys on adverse events (AEs) in Japanese-style acupuncture practice, and these surveys were conducted only in a single college acupuncture clinic. The goal of this research was to assess the safety of acupuncture and moxibustion performed in educational facilities in Japan. This was a multicenter prospective survey, using paper reporting forms.
