Here's a look at recent news and research surrounding acupuncture:

Research Highlights Efficacy and Mechanisms:

• Migraine Relief and Sham Acupuncture: A recent systematic review and network meta-analysis published in Frontiers of Medicine investigated the effectiveness of acupuncture for migraine. The study found that both real and sham acupuncture significantly reduced headache pain intensity compared to a waiting list. Interestingly, real acupuncture showed better results than sham acupuncture at non-indicated points, but there was no significant difference compared to sham acupuncture at true acupuncture points. This highlights the importance of carefully designing sham controls in acupuncture trials.

As per MRFR analysis, the Acupuncture Market Size was estimated at 48.20 (USD Billion) in 2024. The Acupuncture Market Industry is expected to grow from 51.68 (USD Billion) in 2025 to 96.78 (USD Billion) till 2034, at a CAGR (growth rate) is expected to be around 7.22% during the forecast period (2025 - 2034).

Nanocellulose Market: A Sustainable Material Revolution

Nanocellulose is a term referring to nanoscale cellulose materials derived from natural sources like wood pulp, agricultural residues, and bacteria. These materials possess exceptional properties, including high strength, stiffness, a large surface area, and biodegradability. As a result, nanocellulose is emerging as a promising material across various industries, offering sustainable alternatives to traditional materials and enabling novel applications.

Types of Nanocellulose

The nanocellulose market comprises several types, each with distinct characteristics and applications:

• Cellulose Nanocrystals (CNC): These are rod-like, highly crystalline nanoparticles with exceptional strength and stiffness.
