The World Health Organisation (WHO) also lists many conditions as having a strong basis in clinical research for acupuncture treatment. You can find the list, plus many more details here.
The British Medical Acupuncture Association states that modern research shows that acupuncture “can affect most of the body’s systems – the nervous system, muscle tone, hormone outputs, circulation, antibody production and allergic responses, as well as the respiratory, digestive, urinary and reproductive systems.”
For the most up to date information, The British Acupuncture Council provides a range of current and ongoing research on conditions which may benefit from acupuncture treatment.
