Description
Ye-Seul Lee and co-authors present reporting guidelines for case reports of harm linked to acupuncture, in a 2025 paper. Case reports are the oldest tool for spotting side effects. Reports on acupuncture often omit the procedural details that matter. Missing needle depth, points, or patient factors block fair judgment of cause. Weak reports can also exaggerate the danger unfairly.
The RECASE guideline lists what such reports must include. This companion paper explains each item and gives examples. The aim is reports that teach prevention, not just alarm. Editors and authors gain a shared checklist. Safety researchers can then pool cases with confidence. The work strengthens the evidence base around a widely used therapy.
