Abstract:
Twenty-four cases of hiccup were treated by needle-embedding therapy at Geshu (BL 17), Ear Centre (MA-H 1) and Stomach (MA-IC). Results showed that hiccup disappeared in 21 cases, relieved in 1 case and changed little in 2 cases; that in some cases hiccup disappeared instantly after embedding needle. It is indicated that needle-embedding therapy is a quick and easy way to treat hiccup, with lasting effects.
