Summary of Dry Needling IssuesrnAcademic PerspectivernIn regards to terminology,dry needling (DN) is a synonym to acupuncture,just a different English translation from the original Chinese term “针刺” (Zhen Ci).In China,DN is a common name of acupuncture for over 200 years.(11,17) In the West,DN became popular around the 1980s,especially increasing in popularity in the late 1990s,as a way to replace the term acupuncture by some traditional and medical acupuncturists and medical doctors,as an effort “toward acceptance of acupuncture by the medical profession”.(23,36,61)
