About us
Science Blog was started in August 2002. It lives, breathes and eats press releases from research organizations around the globe. Most of what you read here are press releases from the outfits named in the stories themselves. Got a news story you think belongs here?
Let's talk.
The other half of the equation is
blog posts from readers like you. So if you have an interest in science,
please register and join others like you in an ongoing, vibrant dialog about what makes the world tick. Meantime, please take a minute to read our

This is the type of post that is more dangerous than helpful. The author does not site his reference, it is an extremely small sample size, and what journal was it in? Was it peer-reviewed? What outcomes tool was used? How valid are the statistics from this tool?
While I am not a researcher, I feel it is very careless and potetially harmful to anyone who thinks that they need acupressure for their chronic back pain.
Until multiple Randomized Controlled Trials are completed, published in peer-reviewed journals, and critically analyzed, it is just plain dangerous to make these unfounded claims.
