Evaluate four recent journal articles related to your clinical question (Chronic Pain Management: In elderly patients with chronic pain, does acupuncture help manage pain effectively compared to pharmaceutical treatment?).

This assessment is gonna be based on a previous assessment. I used the following research articles:
