Many patients have communicated an interest in non-pharmacological therapies to their general practitioners. Systematic reviews of acupuncture and counselling for depression in primary care have identified limited evidence. The aim of this study was to evaluate acupuncture versus usual care and counselling versus usual care for patients who continue to experience depression in primary care. METHODS AND FINDINGS: In a randomised controlled trial, 755 patients with depression (Beck Depression Inventory BDI-II score >/= 20) were recruited from 27 primary care practices in the North of England. Patients were randomised to one of three arms using a ratio of 2.2.1 to acupuncture (302), counselling (302), and usual care alone (151). The primary outcome was the difference in mean Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) scores at 3 months with secondary analyses over 12 months follow-up. Analysis was by intention-to-treat. PHQ-9 data were available for 614 patients at 3 months and 572 patients at 12 months. Patients attended a mean of ten sessions for acupuncture and nine sessions for counselling. Compared to usual care, there was a statistically significant reduction in mean PHQ-9 depression scores at 3 months for acupuncture (-2.46, 95% CI -3.72 to -1.21) and counselling (-1.73, 95% CI -3.00 to -0.45), and over 12 months for acupuncture (-1.55, 95% CI -2.41 to -0.70) and counselling (-1.50, 95% CI -2.43 to -0.58). Differences between acupuncture and counselling were not significant. In terms of limitations, the trial was not designed to separate out specific from non-specific effects. No serious treatment-related adverse events were reported. CONCLUSIONS: In this randomised controlled trial of acupuncture and counselling for patients presenting with depression, after having consulted their general practitioner in primary care, both interventions were associated with significantly reduced depression at 3 months when compared to usual care alone.

The former seeks to disentangle specific from non-specific treatment effects, by comparing highly standardised interventions against sham or placebo comparators within carefully controlled and largely artificial research environments. Trials of effectiveness, which include the ACUDep trial, seek to address a different research question. Their purpose is to evaluate how a new treatment compares against standard treatment provision within a real world environment. Such studies are also referred to as pragmatic trials. This emphasises the fact that ‘experimental’ and ‘control’ interventions are delivered in such a way as to closely mimic variations in actual practice, thereby enhancing external validity. Moreover, findings are expressed in terms of outcomes which are meaningful to patients concerned, and are generally of much greater relevance to healthcare policy makers than trials of efficacy. We would like to note that non-specific treatment effects are not unique to acupuncture. Indeed such effects are undoubtedly inherent components of every type of treatment involving any form of consultation process. We are therefore somewhat bemused as to why the commentator appears preoccupied by placebo effects in relation to acupuncture, but not those arising from counselling or usual care, which also featured in our study. For further discussion as to this issue we would like to refer readers to the following article:\n\nMacPherson H. Pragmatic clinical trials.

It is quite possible for a trial to be biased by prematurely terminating therapy and privileging one type of care over another - when therapies work in different ways. Here we have a population with (mostly) high levels of chronic and severe illness. The development of the acupuncture protocol was not specifically for this patient group. It is arguable whether such short courses of treatment were worthwhile investigating given existing knowledge about counseling, and it seems probable that a longer course of treatment might have had better results and more long lasting effects. Protective benefits are also an important consideration in an episodic condition such as depression and should be investigated - but if the initial course of therapy was rather inadequate the treatment is less likely to have sustained benefits. The finding that acupuncture patients took less analgesics is an interesting one given the high levels of pain co-morbidity in depressed populations. This trial certainly adds to knowledge.", "isRemoved"=>false, "created"=>"2013-10-01T09:06:29Z", "lastModified"=>"2013-10-01T09:06:29Z", "creator"=>{"userId"=>"372013"}, "highlightedText"=>"", "competingInterestStatement"=>{"creatorWasPrompted"=>true, "hasCompetingInterests"=>true, "body"=>"I conducted the preparatory research for this trial for my PhD and wanted to see longer courses of treatment investigated in the full scale trial, which I was not involved with."}, "parentArticle"=>{"doi"=>"info:doi/10.1371/journal.pmed.1001518", "state"=>"published", "journals"=>{"PLoSMedicine"=>{"journalKey"=>"PLoSMedicine", "eIssn"=>"1549-1676", "title"=>"PLOS Medicine"}}}, "replyTreeSize"=>1, "mostRecentActivity"=>"2013-11-07T12:05:11Z", "replies"=>[{"type"=>"REPLY", "parentID"=>72543, "annotationUri"=>"info:doi/10.1371/reply/c3286513-8384-4f18-ac8f-fac294743156", "title"=>"RE: Dosage is a key issue whatever the intervention.", "body"=>"In reply to the comments of sylvia16, we firmly reject any suggestion of bias with regards to our research.

Many patients have communicated an interest in non-pharmacological therapies to their general practitioners. Systematic reviews of acupuncture and counselling for depression in primary care have identified limited evidence. The aim of this study was to evaluate acupuncture versus usual care and counselling versus usual care for patients who continue to experience depression in primary care.</p><p>Methods and Findings</p><p>In a randomised controlled trial, 755 patients with depression (Beck Depression Inventory BDI-II score ≥20) were recruited from 27 primary care practices in the North of England. Patients were randomised to one of three arms using a ratio of 2∶2∶1 to acupuncture (302), counselling (302), and usual care alone (151). The primary outcome was the difference in mean Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) scores at 3 months with secondary analyses over 12 months follow-up. Analysis was by intention-to-treat.</p><p>PHQ-9 data were available for 614 patients at 3 months and 572 patients at 12 months. Patients attended a mean of ten sessions for acupuncture and nine sessions for counselling. Compared to usual care, there was a statistically significant reduction in mean PHQ-9 depression scores at 3 months for acupuncture (−2.46, 95% CI −3.72 to −1.21) and counselling (−1.73, 95% CI −3.00 to −0.45), and over 12 months for acupuncture (−1.55, 95% CI −2.41 to −0.70) and counselling (−1.50, 95% CI −2.43 to −0.58). Differences between acupuncture and counselling were not significant. In terms of limitations, the trial was not designed to separate out specific from non-specific effects. No serious treatment-related adverse events were reported.</p><p>Conclusions</p><p>In this randomised controlled trial of acupuncture and counselling for patients presenting with depression, after having consulted their general practitioner in primary care, both interventions were associated with significantly reduced depression at 3 months when compared to usual care alone.</p><p>Trial Registration</p><p>Controlled-Trials.com <a href=\"http://www.controlled-trials.com/ISRCTN63787732/ISRCTN63787732\" target=\"_blank\">ISRCTN63787732</a></p><p><i>Please see later in the article for the Editors' Summary</i></p></div>", "links"=>[], "tags"=>["counselling", "randomised", "controlled"], "article_id"=>807129, "categories"=>["Biological Sciences"], "users"=>["Hugh MacPherson", "Stewart Richmond", "Martin Bland", "Stephen Brealey", "Rhian Gabe", "Ann Hopton", "Ada Keding", "Harriet Lansdown", "Sara Perren", "Mark Sculpher", "Eldon Spackman", "David Torgerson", "Ian Watt"], "doi"=>["https://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pmed.1001518.s001", "https://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pmed.1001518.s002", "https://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pmed.1001518.s003", "https://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pmed.1001518.s004", "https://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pmed.1001518.s005", "https://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pmed.1001518.s006", "https://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pmed.1001518.s007", "https://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pmed.1001518.s008", "https://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pmed.1001518.s009", "https://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pmed.1001518.s010"], "stats"=>{"downloads"=>59, "page_views"=>18, "likes"=>0}, "figshare_url"=>"https://figshare.com/articles/_Acupuncture_and_Counselling_for_Depression_in_Primary_Care_A_Randomised_Controlled_Trial_/807129", "title"=>"Acupuncture and Counselling for Depression in Primary Care: A Randomised Controlled Trial", "pos_in_sequence"=>0, "defined_type"=>4, "published_date"=>"2013-09-24 01:28:30"}
