Abstract:
Retrieving literature and summarizing the experience in lecturing acupuncture and clinical practice, the authors analyzed the objective reasons of pain during the needle insertion. Three factors are considered, including needles, skin tissue of inserting site and technique of insertion. The teaching program was discussed on how to alleviate or avoid pain during the concrete manipulation. It is viewed that no matter in teaching program of acupuncture or clinical operation, for alleviating pain during needle insertion, the key points must be on the rapid insertion through skin surface and the coordination of the puncture hand and pressing hand.
