And, correct me if I'm wrong, but even if the control is truly a "control," in an attempt to test specific points, they'll use the same points for each participant, despite the fact that different points should be used for different patients depending on the specific symptoms suffered. - This again compromises the ability for placebo-controlled double-blind studies to adequately "test" the efficacy of TCM for depression; which really just shows that research, as conducted in the west, is limited in it's ability to "test" or "prove" multi-faceted treatment regimes like TCM, and NOT that TCM isn't actually effective.
