摘要

A total of 60 cases were observed, 35 were male, 25 female, the oldest 70 and the youngest 30. 1.2 When Dazhul (大椎 GV14) was punctured, the patient kept a sitting position with the head lowered. After routine sterilization, a 1-cun long needle was quickly inserted into the skin obliquely, and rotated for the arrival of qi. When Shousanli (手三里 LI10) was punctured, the patient also kept a sitting position with the arm flexed. After routine sterilization, a 2-cun long needle was quickly inserted into the skin, followed by repeated lifting and thrusting to obtain qi. Meanwhile, the patient was asked to stand up and move his lumber to the front, the back and the lateral side of the body from small amplitude to large amplitude. The needle was retained for 30 minutes and twirled once for 1 - 2 minutes every 30 minutes.
