Abstract:
At the acupuncture clinic, we sometimes eneounted some out patients who complained that their symptoms did not improve in spite of treatment and medication.
Two patients that we had treated several times complained they were not any better. They had chronic obstinate pain.
We examined them carefully, and found one of them had cancer of the sacrum, the other had a braintumor.
It is necessary to suspect the existence of organic disease when examining a patient who has chronic obstinate pain.
From this case report, we emphasize some effects of therapeufic diagnosis during acupuncture therapy.
