The initial research for this and a study done about 10 years ago now supports that acupuncture is hard science. They believe electrical signals from acupuncture points travel through the collagen network.

About ten years ago, they did a study where they pierced the skin membrane at various points on the body with thin needles. They then transmitted sound waves through the needles. Needles that were not on acupuncture points only transmitted the sound a few millimeters. But needles that were placed on known acupuncture points transmitted the sound throughout other points in the body. At that time, they couldn't figure out how these points were able to do that. But initial research shows that sound and electric impulses are traveling through this layer.

Pretty interesting stuff!
