There’s also electroacupuncture, which is gaining popularity in physical therapy clinics in the US.

> Like traditional acupuncture, electroacupuncture uses needles placed in the same spots. Then, a small electrode is attached to the needles. A small amount of electricity runs through the electrode and gives a slight vibration or soft hum during treatment. (1)

Since they use the same spots as traditional acupuncture even now, I would think traditional acupuncture does work to some degree.
