First seen Jan 08, 2026 · Last updated May 02, 2026 · Updated 20 times

Summary

This study tests whether acupuncture can safely reduce facial redness and flushing in people with rosacea that hasn't improved with standard treatments like oral antibiotics or light therapy. About 104 adults will receive either real acupuncture or a sham (fake) version to see if the real treatment makes a difference. The goal is to find a new option for those whose rosacea is hard to control.
