Method of acupuncture and a needle for performing same

a technology of acupuncture and needles, applied in the field of medicine, can solve the problems of limiting the application range of proposed methods, reducing the intensity of reflexogenic action, and limiting the variability of selection points, so as to prevent possible complications, accurately regulate the intensity of reflexogenic action, and prevent possible complications

Benefits of technology

This approach enhances the treatment effect by maintaining reflexogenic action intensity over time, preventing adaptation and complications, and expanding the range of treatable diseases by varying the selection of entry and exit points and histological layers.

Problems solved by technology

In the above method the action by a needle is made only in one acupuncture point, which does not allow to provide a sufficiently intensive prolonged action, with the intensity decreasing in time due to adaptation effect.
Besides, the proposed method has a limited sphere of application.
Resides, the use of this method in treating some nosological entities can create problems in respect of the selection of suitable formulization, as recommended acupuncture points can be rather far from each other, which creates an obstacle for action by “threading by one needle”, and, correspondingly, limits variability in the selection of points.

[0070]A patient applied with complaints for irregular cycle with pains in the field of small pelvis during these days. She suffers from ovarian dysfunction for 3 years. Medication treatment is counter-indicated because of allergy to medicinal preparations. A classical acupuncture gave instable result.

[0071]A decision was taken to conduct a course of prolonged auriculotherapy with the acusal tract formation in different histological layers. Before the session of acupuncture with a help of electropuncture diagnostics the most representative points on the auricle were selected: AT55 (seng-meng), AT 58 (uterus), AT 82 (diaphragm), AT 83 (middies of the ear). Upon determining the topography of points a needle was introduced into point AT55 into a surface epithelial layer, and outputted from point AT 58, after which the needle was fixed in this position with a help of a locking member. The same was carried out with another pair of acupuncture points. Through AT 82 a needle was introduced ...

From a Point to a Reflexogenic Zone

[0072]A forty eight year old patient applied with aggravation of neuralgia of tregimenal nerve. Complaints for irradiating acute pains of a lumbago type to a zone of auricle and internal ear. The anamnesis included: is suffering from neuralgia of tregimenal nerve during 10 years, Attacks are provoked by over-cooling, nervous stresses. Aggravations arise, as a rule, every 1-2 months. Before that she pointed out staying in cool premises. Attacks of pain appear during the day time, but they are especially expressed at night, they are practically not stopped by pain release preparations; she is forced not to sleep and she is not able to work in the morning. Objectively: during palpation the zone of auricle an acute pain is noticed at point IG 19 (tin-goon) with irradiation to the internal ear, as well as along a zygomatic arch in the region of an orbit.

[0073]With an aim of stopping this symptoms it is necessary to conduct a long sedation of this point ...

From Point to Indifferent Zone

[0074]A needle is introduced into one point with an exit to any convenient region of the skin.

[0075]A seven year old patient. He was brought to a session by his father with the complaints to random urination at night. He suffers this disease from birth. He was treated by neuropathologist by pharmaceutical preparations with no result. A classical acupuncture was conducted several times by courses without a positive dynamics. A frequency of night incontience constitutes 2-3 times per night. Objectively—pathological visible defect of urination system were not revealed analyses are in norm. A diagnosis of sphincteric—detrusor dyssynergia was put.

[0076]With the aim of cutting short enuresis a boy was conducted a prolonged action selectively to point RP 6 (sanin-dsiao) from two sides at the internal surface of lower third of the lower leg. With this aim the needle was introduced into point RP 6, and the lower end of the needle was introduced 2 cm above to the...

Abstract

The present patent application relates to an acupuncture needle. The needle comprises a body made of material able to be plastically flattened and at least one movable fixing means. Said fixing means is provided with a through aperture, and is installed on the body of the needle and capable of sliding. The fixing means securement in a given position is effectable by flattening plastic deformation of the body of the needle at the fixing means distal side so as the width of the flattened area exceeds the diameter of the said area exceeds the diameter of the said through aperture.

Description

[0001]This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 12 / 599,354 filed Nov. 24, 2009 and entitled “Method of Acupuncture and a Needle for Carrying Out Said Method” which is a 371 of PCT / RU2008 / 000285 filed on May 7, 2008, published on Nov. 13, 2008 under publication number WO 2008 / 136709 A which claims priority benefits from Russian Patent Application Number 2007117021 filed May 7, 2007, the disclosures of which are all incorporated herein by reference.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]An invention relates to the field of medicine, and particularly to reflexotherapy and can be used for a prolonged acupunctural action upon an organism of a patient.BACKGROUND ART[0003]At present a question of developing and optimization of such methods of treatments, which exclude invasion of medical preparations, chemical substances is put. Topicality of this trend is related to the growth of allergic reactions, exhaustion of immune mechanisms, development of dysbacetriosis and drug disease...
