The WHO (World Health Organisation) have listed diseases and disorders that acupuncture can help with.

They include ‘diseases, symptoms or conditions for which acupuncture has been proved through controlled trials to be an effective treatment’ such as facial pain, headache, sciatica, knee, neck and low back pain.  The WHO also lists ‘diseases, symptoms or conditions for which the therapeutic effect of acupuncture has been shown but for which further proof is needed’. 

The complete list of conditions and more information can be found on the WHO website.
