Professor Huang Shengyuan:
From the theoretical point of view of CCM and the principle of Yin-yang, disease can be divided generally into what 4 groups?

Back 1

a. excess of yang
b. excess of yin
c. deficiency of yang
d. deficiency of yin (or both yin & yang together)

Front 2

Corresponding to the different divisions of disease (excess yang, excess yin, xu yang, xu yin or both together), we suggest 4 types of needling techniques to regain homeostatic balance:

Back 2

1. sparrow-pecking
2. intermittent stimulation
3. needle retaining with vibration
4. simple needle retaining

Front 3

4 needling techniques that are used according to the divisions of disease are supported by biophysical parameters such as

Back 3

action *potentials of Jingluo
*EEG changes
intracranial *pressure changes
sensory duration of dermal sensitivity

Front 4

4 techniques: Sparrow-Pecking
-insert needle to proper depth and grab qi
-then pull it out by *() the length of the needle shaft
-apply the sparrow-pecking hand movement

Back 4

*2/3

Front 5

Apply sparrow pecking technique by:
1. thrust and lift with () pull and () push for () times on each point with the speed of about () times per minute
2. perform () rounds alternately

Back 5

1. heavier pull, lighter push, 7 times per point, 120x/min

Front 6

4 techniques: sparrow-pecking

The intensity is relatively () and should depend on the patient's individual condition. It performs a function of () the meridians by clearing away heat and reducing yang () which indicates excessive yang syndromes.

Back 6

stronger
evil

Front 7

4 techniques: intermittent stimulation:
-insert the needle to the proper depth and grab qi
-retain needle for () minutes
-then pull it out by () of the length of the shaft
-then perform thrust-lift & rotating () times
-retain the needle again for another () minutes
-repeat the manipulation again until the patient starts to have () or until the pathogenic tight feeling underneath the needle disappears

Back 7

3 min retain
pull out by 1/2
t/l 9x
retain again 3min
mild sweat

Front 8

T or F the last step of intermittent stimulation is to repeat the manipulation again until the patient starts to have profuse sweating or until the pathogenic tight feeling underneath the needle disappears.

Back 8

F
sweat should be mild

Front 9

4 techniques: intermittent stimulation generally should be performed 9 times T or F?

Back 9

F
3 times

Front 10

4 techniques intermittent stimulation:
it will function as dredging the meridians by expelling yin evil and recovering yang even qi T or F?

Back 10

T

Front 11

4 techniques intermittent stimulation:
this kind of () reducing techniques is used for excessive () syndromes.

Back 11

Yin yin

Front 12

4 techniques needle retaining with vibration:
-insert the needle to the proper depth and grab qi
-retain the needle for () minutes
-then pull out the shaft of the needle by ()
-perform slight vibrating combined with thrusting/lifting & rotating for () times
-repeat every () minutes up to () times

Back 12

-1 min retain
-pull out by 1/3
-t/l/r 9x9=81x
-repeat 3-5min up to 3 times (3x81=243x)

Front 13

4 techniques needle retaining with vibration:
This technique normally brings out a warm sensation underneath the needle or strengthens the qi arriving T or F

Back 13

T

Front 14

4 techniques needle retaining with vibration:
It belongs to yang-tonifying therapeutics & is used for patients with
a. yang xu syndromes
b. yin xu syndromes
c. yang shi syndromes
d. yin shi syndromes
e. both a and b

Back 14

a. yang xu syndromes

Front 15

4 techniques simple needle retaining:
insert the needle
a. quickly and vigorously
b. quickly and gently
c. slowly and vigorously
d. slowly and gently

Back 15

d. slowly and gently

Front 16

4 techniques simple needle retaining:
retain the needle for
a. 15 minutes
b. 20 minutes
c. 30 minutes
d. 45 minutes

Back 16

c. 30 minutes

Front 17

4 techniques Simple needle retaining:
it is used in cases of
a. yang xu
b. yin xu
c. yang shi
d. yin shi
e. either just b or both a and b at the same time

Back 17

e. either just yin xu or both yang/yin xu

Front 18

Sparrow pecking technique has been shown to increase/decrease voltage after needling patients with yang shi?

Back 18

Decrease

Front 19

Sparrow pecking technique in healthy subjects with yang shi, the increase in excitation waves was reverted to inhibited/excited waves in the EEG tracings during needling?

Back 19

inhibited

Front 20

Sparrow pecking technique can decrease/increase intracranial hypertension?

Back 20

decrease

Front 21

Intermittent stimulation technique:
the voltage of Yang meridians were found to be lower/higher before needling, and were all decreased/increased with this stimulation which decreases/increases yin?

Back 21

lower
increased
reduces/decreases

Front 22

Intermittent stimulation technique was applied to healthy subjects with excess of yin and resulted in a/an decrease/increase of excitation waves in EEG tracings?

Back 22

increase

Front 23

Needle retaining with vibration technique:
The voltage of the meridians in all patients with yang xu was decreased/increased after needling with this technique.

Back 23

increased

Front 24

Needle retaining with vibrration technique:
In healthy patients, the excitation waves are decreased/increased under observation of EEG tracings.

Back 24

increased

Front 25

Needle retaining with vibration:
the pressure in patients with intracranial hypotension was decreased/increased?

Back 25

elevated/increased

Front 26

Simple needle retaining
The voltage of the meridians in patients with yin xu or of both yin/yang xu had a significant decrease/increase after needling?

Back 26

increase

Front 27

Simple needle retaining
In patients with yin xu and in healthy subjects, the decrease/increase in inhibitory EEG waves was affected with the technique which gives protective inhibition.

Back 27

increase

Front 28

Simple needle retaining
in patients with both yin/yang xu needling resulted in decreased/increased/balanced EEG waves?

Back 28

balanced

Front 29

Temporal measurements of dermal sensitivity revealed the protective inhibition of the brain. () Technique has the effect of reinforcing the deficient states of yin or of both yin and yang.

Back 29

Each of the 4 needling techniques is capable of inducing a specific reaction to modify a diseased physical state in order to recover its (2 wds) and regain health.
