Andrew Vickers

Andrew Vickers has revolutionized the evidence base for acupuncture in oncology through rigorous individual patient data meta-analyses incorporating over 20,000 patients. His Acupuncture Trialists Collaboration pooled data from high-quality trials to demonstrate statistically significant and clinically meaningful effects of acupuncture on musculoskeletal pain and headache. He has applied similar meta-analytic approaches to integrative oncology interventions and has developed methodological frameworks for evaluating complex interventions. His biostatistical contributions have elevated the quality of integrative medicine evidence.
