Warum Patientinnen und Patienten Akupunktur oder Qi Gong wählen, und was sie von der Behandlung erwarten

Patients in this survey have partially given other reasons for choosing acupuncture or qigong as treatment modalities than patients who participated in previous studies in the UK and the United States. Results from other countries can therefore not directly be transferred. The present qualitative survey can be used as starting point for future studies which could provide a better understanding of patients' expectations and the need for more precise information about TCM.
