In situations following a large\u2010scale disaster, acupuncture can be applied for various health problems in evacuation centers. In this study, we report the medical support operation for evacuees with acupuncture and massage therapy (AP<\/jats:styled-content>\/MT<\/jats:styled-content>) and its effectiveness.
