Intractable pain is a common ailment in an acupuncture clinic! It is estimated that about 20-
30% of soft tissue injury pain is refractory pain lasting from 6 months to many years. Various
treatments, including acupuncture, traditional Chinese medicine, massage, chiropractic and
manual treatment can only temporally relieve the pain, and then the patient suffers a relapse
again with poor long-term results. Because there is no specific treatment, many patients rely on
long-term use of painkillers to maintain daily life and work, and their quality of life is significantly lower than the normal population. The characteristics of refractory pain with soft
tissue injury include: 1) long-term and recurrent pain, which can be triggered or aggravated by
a variety of causes; 2) pain that can be widespread or only localized; 3) pain that is sometimes accompanied by numbness and cold limbs; 4) during palpation, there are obvious round or cord-shaped pain nodules, tender nodules, high tension of local skin and muscle, and hard texture in the pain area.

After many years’ studying of fascial trigger point theory and scar adhesion theory, Dr. Guojian
Huang pointed out that the fascial trigger points were immature scar tissues with inflammatory
reactions which were the cause of refractory pain of soft tissue injury related. Such immature
scar tissue not only produces local tenderness and pain. At the same time, scar tissue between
soft tissues such as myofascial and skin leads to increased friction during exercise, resulting in
secondary soft tissue injury, pain and dysfunction. Again this kind of scar adhesive tissue will
also produce compression symptoms on local vascular nerve tissue causing limb coldness,
numbness, and discomfort.
A Mini Ren Acupuncture (MRA) needle has a tiny blade on the top of needle and it works on the
superficial myofascial trigger points and scar tissues. Although the depth of the needle’s
insertion is generally less than one centimeter, it has a stimulating effect the same as a needle.
It also has a special advantage of a blade cutting effect, especially on myofascial trigger points
and adhesive scar tissues to eliminate the root cause of intractable pain. MRA not only can
make magical pain relief effects quickly, but also can obtain long-term treatment effects to
achieve the result of curing intractable pain of soft tissue injury! MRA is a safe and effective
acupuncture therapy which should be promoted to the world to help patients get relief from
refractory pain!

In this clinical study, 80 cases with anxiety were observed. 45 cases that were treated with acupuncture combined with Chinese herbal medicine while 35 cases were treated with Chinese herbal medicine only.

The result showed that the effective rate of the group using acupuncture combined with Chinese herbal medicine was 91.2%, while the group with Chinese herbal medicine only was 63%. In 30 days observed period, patients treated by acupuncture combined with Chinese herbal medicine recovered faster and better from the anxiety disorder than those patients treated by Chinese herbal medicine alone. There is a significant difference between the two groups (p＜0.05).

Conclusion: Acupuncture with Chinese herbal medicine is more effective treatment for anxiety disorder than treatment using Chinese herbal medicine alone.

 Key words: anxiety disorder, acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine.

 Pervasive neurodevelopmental diseases such as Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are dramatically increasing (1/45 children, according to USA National Health Statistic, 2015). Most of therapies are effective only when given with a large amount of hours per week (e.g., 40 hours/week for ABA Therapy). National Health Systems have huge waiting lists and cannot provide all the recommended hours per child. Those therapies, supported by family members, are truly expensive and not accessible for most people (addressing autism costs an estimated $3.2 million in lifetime costs per child according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, USA). Non-attended children are at big risk of growing unhealthy, struggling and social unadapt.A TCM biofeedback technique for ASD Children – the qigong sensory training massage – (QST) have efficacy well proven (USA) and may be easily provided by caregivers, with just 15 minutes per day. Recent studies preconized its feasibility achieving some biomarkers from a conventional neuroscience analysis. Tactile Fibers-C impairment was found to be common in ASD people, this might explain why with sensory desensitization regulatory gains were obtained. A 2018 study developed a protocol to measure some neural mechanisms involved in QST. Results suggest that a parasympathetic tone increased more in children receiving QST massage and, while viewing emotional faces post-intervention, parasympathetic tone was more affected (reduced). Also the prefrontal cortex response to emotional faces was greater. Recently, our research group conducted 3 QST clinical cases with Portuguese ASD Children 3-6 years old (paper in preparation) and clinical improvements suggest to be very similar to the USA findings.MORA® Bioresonance is a diagnostically and therapeutic technique based on the findings of quantum physics and with historical roots on Dr. Voll ́s Electroacupuncture findings. This innovative method, developed   in the mid 70 ́s, transfers the principle of waves and frequencies, from quantum physics to    medical technology. In the last years, the psycho-biophony module (PB) was designed to treat physical but especially psychological or mental disorders. ASD is a therapeutical programme available. It  is stated that the patient may switches from beta to alpha state. We want to check this assumption using the Quantitative Electroencephalogram (QEEG) to record the electrical potential brain activity. For that purpose we already accomplished a survey and “Escala de Avaliação da Criança com Perturbação do Espectro do Autismo” (EACPEA), a Psychometric validated Scale for ASD Diagnosis in 105 Portuguese children (5-6 years old). We will randomly divide them in 3 groups (35 ASD Children in each group) to start a preliminary study, according to the present protocol.

 Research question: we aim to find whether differences in the neurophysiological brain waves (alpha, delta, theta, beta), measured by QEEG, might occur after 8 weekly sessions of MORA PB therapy for ASD and after 5 months of daily QST intervention.

Traditional Vegetative Biofeedback Therapy (“Qigong”) and Tapping as a ELT (Emotional Liberating Therapy) are some of the techniques that might be interesting to test.

This talk discusses the importance of channel dynamics in our understanding and treatment of Acute pain and injury, and looks at the importance of this dynamics network in both the diagnosis and treatment of pain but also informs us how and why certain points work.

In this talk we are reminded that the classical literature is as relevant today as it was in the past and is better placed to inform us of this vessel systems and its interplay of energy that we can use to successfully treat pain.   This talk can guide us to develop a system that works in a busy clinic, but will also allow us to understand better how other systems and treatments we already know work.

 It has now become obvious that all mind-body methods have especially robust influence on naturally occurring, inner healing resources including neuro-endocrine, immune, telomere functionality, vagal tone – as well as brain plasticity, lymph propulsion, etc. The integration of Body Practice, Breath Practice and Mind Focusing Practice is common across all systems of Mind-body Practice – Qigong, Yoga, Tai Chi and many others – originating from indigenous cultures and contemporary innovation. The evidence base for safety and efficacy is robust. The research on operant mechanisms is very advanced. Research on dissemination is growing rapidly.

 Participants in these mind-body modalities report that the effects of practice are significant in the mental emotional context as well. Every physiological and every psychological effect of mind-body practice releases a cascade of functional enhancement effects. Relaxation lowers blood pressure and shifts the neurotransmitter profile – causing immune activation. Deeper breaths accelerate lymph propulsion and tone the vagal system, which then triggers a wide array of health maximizing functions including recovery of telomere functionality.

 To demonstrate that Mind-Body Practice – Qigong and Tai Chi – are a relevant component of any integrative medicine program or community based health resiliency program, Dr Jahnke will cite research on safety, efficacy, mechanisms activated and dissemination of Mind-Body Practice.

 The concept of the Ben Shen (本神) is derived from the internal classics, Neijing(内经) which systematically discusses the theory and practice of the TCM mental energy theory. Although few TCM practitioners in later generations systematically sorted out and discussed this theory, its content still played an important guiding role in the clinical treatment of mental illness in TCM. The essence of Ben Shen is that clinical treatment should be based on human shen, i.e. the human mental status. In particular, the clinical treatment of mental illness must be based on human shen. Therefore, as a Chinese medicine clinician, who must know the pattern differentiation of human mental energy.

 In this lecture, we will first discuss the source of the original Ben Shen theory, understand the shen qi concept and its clinical application. It is not difficult to see from the medical practice of Chinese medicine clinical mental illness treatment for thousands of years that understanding the shen qi concept and its clinical characteristics of pattern differentiation are the key points for treating mental illness.

 According to the theory of Neijing, when treating mental illness, it is necessary to understand the state of people’s mental state and the characteristics of human mental activities, and the theory of shen qi makes this theory a reality and make the mind theory of Chinese medicine very practical. Shen qi theory solves the assessment of mental state, pattern diagnosis and corresponding treatment of Chinese medicine, improving the accuracy of treatment and the clinical efficacy.

 According to the mental energy theory of Neijing, the lecture will briefly discuss the basic concepts and clinical applications of the four aspects, namely the ben shen psychology, the ben shen health preservation, the ben shen acupuncture and the ben shen herbology. These are the four basic contents of the ben shen healing system. This lecture will provide participants with a novel and traditional clinical treatment perspective and ideas, which is very helpful for the treatment of mental illness.

Through the score changes and statistical analysis of the two groups before and after treatment (receiving treatment five times, ten times, and fifteen times for each group), and 30-day follow-up and safety evaluation after treatment,The results showed that there was a significant difference in the improvement of PSQI scores between the two groups (P value 0.016/5 times, 0.012/10 times, 0.002/15 times), indicating that the treatment group was better than the control group. The SAS anxiety P value between the two groups (0.347/5 times, 0.03/10 times, 0.043/15 times); the SDS depression P value (0.129/5 times, 0.02/10 times, 0.001/15 times) also increased with the number of treatments And change,  showing a significant difference. This shows that the test group fared better than the control group in improving anxiety and depression of insomnia patients. The two groups were followed up for morning physical recovery and improvement of relevant TCM symptoms, and the efficacy of the experimental group was better than that of the control group (P <0.001). The date shows that head massage not only has short-term curative effects, but also has certain long-term curative effects. The safety evaluation is grade 1 and no adverse events occurred.

The above results indicate that head massage can control insomnia symptoms and improve sleep quality during the treatment cycle, and also has relevant  long-term effects post treatment. Head massage provides a new modality and effective method for the treatment of insomnia. This method is safe and practical, convenient and worthy of further endorsement.

Methods: Several randomized cases with typical response to acupuncture were selected due to lecture time. All of cases were treated with a single-acupuncture and single-acupoint.

Treatment Site: Basically, the selected cases were treated under the public attention.

Needle: 0.12 ~ 0.25 one-inch needle.

Patient age group: 3~75 years old. Diagnostic criteria of Chinese Medicine Diagnosis and Western Medicine Clinical Specialties were used, and participants are consciousness with clinical symptoms. No Chinese herbs or Western drugs were used for treatment.

Manipulation: Routine manipulation according to the textbook “Acupuncture and Moxibustion”.  Adhering to the Master Zuo Changbo’s concentration and careful and slow manipulation of the Da Cha Point, the focus is on perceiving or getting the patient’s body response.

RESULTS: The clinical efficacy was significantly higher in patients of all ages than in other therapies (as reviewed by the patients themselves and their families).

CONCLUSION: The Da Cha Point Acupuncture is easy to access and does not require high requirements for the treatment site.  A quiet place is the best. Needles are also easy to buy and carry. The needle manipulation can achieve amazing results with care.  Although this acupuncture method is not based on the classics, however, after ten years of numerous clinical cases, it has been proved that Da Cha Point has a very impressive clinical effect in regulating the mind.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic, progressive, autoimmune disease with symmetrical, multi-joint, small joints. Synovial joint inflammation is the main pathological change, and joint swelling and pain are its main clinical symptoms. In addition to joint involvement, the disease can still invade tissues and organs such as the heart, lungs, kidneys, eyes, and nervous system, so it is also known as rheumatoid disease. Since the cause of the disease is still unknown, glucocorticoids, immunosuppressants, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, and biological agents, etc. are mostly used in modern medical treatments. However, the side effects of drugs, coupled with the uncertainty of efficacy and other factors, have prompted the industry to constantly search for new treatment means and methods.

In the system of tonifying yang of UTCMH Acupuncture, the characteristics of “the unity of nature and mankind, the combination of Taoism and skill” are particularly embodied. The macro-system of tonifying yang “the unity of nature and mankind, and the doctor-oriented care” embodies the characteristics of Tao; the micro-system of tonifying yang “the unity of nature and mankind, the patient–centered care” embodies the characteristics of the skills.

Depression is caused by emotional impairment, disharmony of the five organs, qi and blood, Yin and Yang, and the unfavorable brain and mind. However, whether emotional factors cause depression is not only related to the intensity and duration of the mental stimulation, but also closely related to the function of the body’s own internal organs. Chinese medicine believes that “weak of the visceral qi” is an important intrinsic factor in the onset of depression.

Depression requires precise clinical differentiation, and the combination of acupuncture and herbal medicine can achieve good results. The Liver Meridian, Heart Meridian and Governor Meridian are most closely related to the human body’s emotional activities. In the past, body acupuncture treatments mostly used the acupoints of the above meridians. The scalp acupuncture treatment invented by Professor Jiao Shunfa, the inventor of scalp acupuncture in the 1970s, and abdominal acupuncture treatment invented by Professor Bo Zhiyun in the 1990s. These two acupuncture treatments are the new achievements of TCM acupuncture in the past 50 years, and have opened up new treatment modalities for depression.

Scalp acupuncture is performed in a specific stimulation area of ​​the head. It is based on traditional acupuncture and combined with modern medical theory on the function of the cerebral cortex. It has a significant effect on brain-derived diseases. Acupuncture treatment in the emotional area has a significant and rapid relief of depression symptoms. Abdominal acupuncture treatment can return all qi to its root, and quickly achieve the medical treatment effect of strengthening the spleen and nourishing the mind, clearing the heart and waking the brain, calming the mind, regulating qi and blood.

Scalp acupuncture combined with abdominal acupuncture treatment has rapid and stable efficacy and minor tolarable acupuncture pain, which are complementary and mutually reinforcing. It is significantly better than single body acupuncture and is worthy of clinical promotion.

Do you all know? The first author of Lingshu’s treatment for pain is higher than all of us now.

 He is using three-dimensional acupuncture for treatment.

 If you don’t understand the system of the first author of Lingshu, then you must be stuck in the treatment for pain disorders.

 The meridian and acupuncture point system that we learned in our schools is not, by and large, the system of the first author of the Spiritual Center. It is a system that is essentially to be abolished; it is a fabricated one.

 This patchwork system is derived from the 10th chapter of Lingshu and the patchwork of the Jia Yi scriptures on various aspects of the literature. The authors of the Lingshu Sutra should be divided into three, six or nine classes. It is unreasonable to construct the foundation of acupuncture based on Chapter 10 of Lingshu.

 In most cases, the first author of Lingshu does not use the so-called concept of meridians and acupoints for the treatment of pain disorders. You have to check with your hands and listen to the patient. You have to listen to the patient in both aspects. It is based on the principle that the disease location indicated by the patient body’s nervous system is incredibly precise. Any scholar must be humble and listen to the patient. Taking pain as reference, as he said 13 times, is in no way a waste of the reader’s time. But you think that taking pain as reference is just too superficial where it hurts. The deepest discipline of acupuncture is these 4 words, 以痛为腧 which means “Taking Pain as Reference”.

In this hour I will present the most common areas of pressure pain significant to the differential diagnosis for emotional stress and Anxiety and how to eliminate this pressure pain. It is very difficult to translate what exactly a patient tells us about the emotional stress and anxiety to acupuncture points. Due to the culture differences and the individual upbringing of the patient that seek acupuncture, we need a more reliable system of diagnosis and treatment verification. Palpating specific reflection-areas will provide a focus that the treatment can concentrate on. The reflection areas and treatments are very closely related to the antique Chinese texts and Traditional Chinese Medical patterns. Only that the translation onto the individual patient is done by palpation. We let the patient’s body show us what to treat. In this short presentation, for example, one of these reflection areas common to emotional stress and anxiety is the CV17 area. We shall focus on eliminating the pressure pain on that area using distal points.
