title: Efficacy of a single-formula acupuncture treatment for horses with palmar heel pain.
abstract: Acupuncture is used without strong scientific evidence to treat many diseases of the horse, including palmar heel pain. Research is needed to provide evidence for the application of these treatments. Within the confines of our study, acupuncture did not reliably modulate palmar heel pain in horses.
