An article by Dr. Naeser summarizes the results from various acupuncture studies involving the treatment of central nervous system paralysis, including spinal cord injury and MS. The SCI studies basically parallel the results. IN the case of 42 MS patients, acupuncture improved muscle spasms, vision, sleep, sexual functioning, and bladder control. In one case, a woman, who had not been able to walk unassisted in 15 years, was able to walk unaided 100 feet after one-year of treatment.
