The setting of sham acupuncture controls is one of the three key methodological challenges in acupuncture clinical research. Standardized reporting of sham acupuncture control is conductive for readers to evaluating the rationality of sham acupuncture control settings and the reliability of results，and enhancing the replicability of sham acupuncture procedures. The acupuncture controls guideline for reporting human trials and experiments（ACURATE）developed by Korean researchers was officially published in 2023. The guide sponsor and other scholars cooperated with 23 experts from four continents conducted literature research and three rounds of Delphi surveys to generate the final ACURATE checklist. The ACURATE checklist consisted of 6 categories with 23 items：type of sham acupuncture，details of sham acupuncture manipulation，location of sham acupuncture，treatment regimen，practitioner，and protocol and settings. The guideline was designed to guide the authors to describe implementation details of sham acupuncture as well as contextual factors in clinical trials. This paper introduced the formulation process and basic characteristics of ACURATE，and interpreted each item with examples to help domestic users better understand and use the guideline，and ultimately improve the reporting quality of sham acupuncture in clinical trials.
