description This was a preliminary retrospective study to clarify the effectiveness of traditional Japanese acupuncture on the stress level of Japanese expatriates who studied or worked in Myanmar. Total 22 Japanese expatriate patients were selected for this study. The profile of mood states second edition-adult short form scale was used to evaluate the stress-relief effect of acupuncture before every treatment. Negative mood (tension and confusion) and total mood disturbances significantly decreased after acupuncture treatment. Regarding the influence of background, the experience of staying abroad significantly influenced the efficacy of the acupuncture treatment. These results indicate that acupuncture treatment can relieve stress experienced by Japanese expatriates. The results also suggest that the experience of staying abroad might be one of the leading factors that can modulate the effects of treatment.
