"Form follows Function"
With the doubling of intakes at the Cook County Hospital Pain Clinic last week,the use of more acupuncture modalities was explored, with the motive of discovering the advantages that the specific microsystemws of scalp and auricular acupuncture might have over macrosystem acupoints.
AURICULAR Acupuncture
3 patients were selected for minimally invasive auricular tberapy today who were 1st time patients, needle-phobic, or had eaten no breakfast. Pain reduction was comparable to or greater than macrosystem points.
Scalp Acupuncture
2 new patients with acute pain, who were open to tbe stronger stimulation and often more rapid pain reduction and function restoration afforded by scalp acupuncture, as well as 2 existing patient who had limited respnse to previous macrosystem point stimulation, received scalp acupuncture, with significant pain reduction, and in some cases, remarkable improvement in movement ability.
