This article is based on the possible common mechanism of pain and depression. Recent 10 years' reports on basic and clinical studies related to acupuncture treatment for pain and depression have been retrieved to explain that acupuncture can stop pain from many aspects to relieve depression. It is hoped that acupuncture can become a green and safe alternative therapy, reduce the toxic side-effects of drugs, and be popularized and applied to clinical treatment.
