Acupuncture for several functional disorders. Part I.

This is Part I of a study whose purpose is two-fold, that is, to arrive at a classification of diseases under investigation according to their responsiveness to acupuncture therapy, and to discuss and identify the most effective loci for the diseases investigated. In Part I of this study, over 500 patients afflicted with hyperthyroidism, trigeminal neuralgia or intercostal neuralgia were treated with acupuncture therapy. The results of the treatment, together with the selection of acupuncture loci and the techniques of needle manipulation are reported in detail. Over 80% of the patients were found to have made excellent improvement. The three diseases are therefore classified as diseases on which acupuncture therapy yields excellent results.
