Dr Nadia Volf - Telematin 01.06.18 - Aiguillez-vous vers l'acupuncture

In a TeleMatin interview, host Laurent, guest Brigitte Fanny Cohen, and Dr. Nadia Volf discuss the scientific evidence supporting acupuncture, countering a recent petition signed by 124 physicians opposing alternative medicine. They cite the 2014 INSERM expert review, which evaluated thousands of studies and concluded that acupuncture is effective for many types of pain, outperforming no treatment and serving as a complementary therapy. Clinical data are presented: acupuncture relieves acute pain in emergency settings (87% efficacy comparable to IV morphine, lasting over 16 hours), reduces medication use, work absenteeism, and hospital stays for chronic low‑back pain, and shows durable effects—10 sessions yielding pain relief for more than a year in a cohort of 17 000 patients. The mechanism is explained through endorphin release, which also modulates hormones, immune factors, and inflammation, contributing to overall well‑being. Beyond pain, INSERM notes efficacy for chemotherapy‑induced nausea and vomiting, and there is emerging interest in acupuncture for addiction treatment. Dr. Volf recommends her book “Le miracle de la guérison” for further information. The segment juxtaposes the scientific backing with the ongoing public debate among physicians about acupuncture’s place in Western medicine.
