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? |
a. excess of yang
b. excess of yin c. deficiency of yang d. deficiency of yin (or both yin & yang together) |
|
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:
|
1. sparrow-pecking
2. intermittent stimulation 3. needle retaining with vibration 4. simple needle retaining |
|
4 needling techniques that are used according to the divisions of disease are supported by biophysical parameters such as
|
action *potentials of Jingluo
*EEG changes intracranial *pressure changes sensory duration of dermal sensitivity |
|
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 |
*2/3
|
|
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 |
1. heavier pull, lighter push, 7 times per point, 120x/min
|
|
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. |
stronger
evil |
|
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 |
3 min retain
pull out by 1/2 t/l 9x retain again 3min mild sweat |
|
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.
|
F
sweat should be mild |
|
4 techniques: intermittent stimulation generally should be performed 9 times T or F?
|
F
3 times |
|
4 techniques intermittent stimulation:
it will function as dredging the meridians by expelling yin evil and recovering yang even qi T or F? |
T
|
|
4 techniques intermittent stimulation:
this kind of () reducing techniques is used for excessive () syndromes. |
Yin yin
|
|
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 |
-1 min retain
-pull out by 1/3 -t/l/r 9x9=81x -repeat 3-5min up to 3 times (3x81=243x) |
|
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 |
T
|
|
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 |
a. yang xu syndromes
|
|
4 techniques simple needle retaining:
insert the needle a. quickly and vigorously b. quickly and gently c. slowly and vigorously d. slowly and gently |
d. slowly and gently
|
|
4 techniques simple needle retaining:
retain the needle for a. 15 minutes b. 20 minutes c. 30 minutes d. 45 minutes |
c. 30 minutes
|
|
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 |
e. either just yin xu or both yang/yin xu
|
|
Sparrow pecking technique has been shown to increase/decrease voltage after needling patients with yang shi?
|
Decrease
|
|
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?
|
inhibited
|
|
Sparrow pecking technique can decrease/increase intracranial hypertension?
|
decrease
|
|
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? |
lower
increased reduces/decreases |
|
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?
|
increase
|
|
Needle retaining with vibration technique:
The voltage of the meridians in all patients with yang xu was decreased/increased after needling with this technique. |
increased
|
|
Needle retaining with vibrration technique:
In healthy patients, the excitation waves are decreased/increased under observation of EEG tracings. |
increased
|
|
Needle retaining with vibration:
the pressure in patients with intracranial hypotension was decreased/increased? |
elevated/increased
|
|
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? |
increase
|
|
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. |
increase
|
|
Simple needle retaining
in patients with both yin/yang xu needling resulted in decreased/increased/balanced EEG waves? |
balanced
|
|
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.
|
Simple needle retaining technique
|
|
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.
