The researchers report that the acupuncture group and the exercise group had less sympathetic nervous system activity in the muscles as compared to control groups."There were no side effects with acupuncture. If you go on hormonal stimulation, there are always side effects," Dr Stener-Victorin said. "It's a safe treatment with few complications, so it might be worth giving it a try."
The results of the study appear in the American Journal of Physiology Regulatory, Integrative and Comparative Physiology.
