Abstract:
Continued from the previous year's theme of our workshop, we collected various information and ideas for safer acupuncture practice. Subjects and presentations of the present workshop were as follows:
1. Literature review of papers on adverse events published between 2003and 2006
1) Papers in domestic journals (by Ishizaki and Egawa)
2) Papers in foreign journals (by Yamashita and Umeda)
2. Debate on wearing sterilized fingerstall or glove
1) Present status of the use of fingerstall in acupuncture practice (by Katai and Minowa)
2) Practical side of clinical education of acupuncture using fingerstall (by Hatakeyama and Furuya)
3) Problem of using individual fingerstalls in acupuncture practice (by Handa and Miyamoto)
We will continue to provide information and discuss solutions in order to reach a common understanding and specific methods for safer acupuncture practice.
