Introduction
Using a low frequency current radiation together with acupuncture, we observed the effect of acupuncture.
Method
To the same patients, we administered it ante, in and post acupuncture for the purpose of detecting and comparing their pleasant sensation among these three methods.
Effect
Many patients felt it better ante and post acupuncture. It was better ante acupuncture to those patients receiving acupuncture for the first time. The experienced, on the contrary, acknowledged that they felt it better post acupuncture.

According to the Ryodoraku autonomic nervous system therapy the average of the measurement values on Ryodo points (acupuncture point) which belong to the Ryodoraku (meridian) can be obtained from the measurement value on the representative point of the Ryodoraku.
They are judged relative excitement which corresponds to “excitement and suppression” (fullness and emptiness) in proportion as to the relative position on Ryodoraku chart.
We got the result that the knee joint pain relates to the excitement of H₂, the suppression of F₁, and the suppression of F₄.

The authors conducted neurometory of 78 so-called healthy adults throughout the year. Electrical skin resistance (amperage) was measured at the representative measurement points of the ryodoraku. In order to clarify how this resistance changes with months and which ryodoraku is related to the comparison of month groups, the results were analized using discriminatory analysis which is one technique of multivariate data analysis. The primary discriminant function explained the fluctuation of 63.7%, and is related to the ratio of H4 and H6 to F4. The secondary discriminant function explained the fluctuation of 20.2%, and is related to the ratioI of F2 and F4 to H2. In the second-dimensional distribution, the cold season group (April, November, December, January) was against the warmIseason group (June, July, September), and intermediate season group (May, October). However, April wasjrather specific, that is, apart from the other cold seasons. Further observations must be done with regard to seasonal fluctuation.

Authors evaluated which factor among age, sex and season influences each Ryodoraku, and to what extent, using socalled healthy children.
METHOD
Ryodorakumeasurement was conducted on the same subjects in two different seasons. Comparison was done between groups divided according to their sex andage. The measured value of skin electro-resistance at the Ryodoraku representative measuring points and excitation-inhibition frequency were analyzed using single- and multi-variate data analysis.
RESULT
1) Each group showed slightly different Ryodoraku characteristics.
2) The differences among each group were greatest between the two seasons and rather big between years, however, small between male and female.
3) These tendencies werejobserved in both analyses using the measured values and using frequency.

The authors carried out neurometry and CMI investigation on 512 subjects in June and July '87. The subjects were devided into four groups according to the CMI criteria by Fukamachi: CMI. I Diagnosed to be normal, II Provisionally to be normal, III Provisionally diagnosed to be neurotic, IV Diagnosed to be neurotic. Comparison was done not only among these groups, but also among age groups and between male and female.
Although there were no great differences among the group I, II and III, each current through F2, F4, F5 and F6 significantly decreased from the group I to IV (p<0.01). A similar tendency was seen in F2 and F6 of the male subjects in each age group, but no tendency in the female subjects.

Purpose:
We believe there are very few therapists who in seeking therapeutic results use simply acupuncture or moxibustion. Most supplement therapy with physical therapy or some other form of therapy. We examined to see whether or not differences in results when acupuncture was used alone or accompanied by physical therapy were discernible.
Methods of Observation:
From among the charts of patients who visited our clinic during the year 1980 we selected periarthritis of the shoulder, lumbago and motor disturbance of the knee patients, divided them into 2 groups-acupuncture and moxibustion only group, and supplementary treatment (physical therapy techniques including infrared rays, UHF and low frequency therapy) and compared results. The evaluation was based on answers to questionairres circulated 2-3 months after the end of treatment or answers received during telephone interviews.
Results:
The rate of effectivity of therapeutic results was about the same however the number of treatment periods required was fewer in the supplementary treatment group.
Discussion of Results:
By supplementing acupuncture-moxibustion therapy with physical therapy techniques the range of diseases to which therapy is applicable is greatly, moreover it became empirically clear from this study that it is possible to quicken results.

Purpose
An organism receives internal and external stimuli successively. If the function of the organism become abnormal, the abnormality is projected on its body surface. Accordingly the condition of the organism's function can be grasped by palpation or other objective measuring methods.
Among these methods, we commonly put skin-electroresistance meters in clinical use.
However, the variation of the organism's function in a healthy condition has not been quantitatively grasped, while there are data on the variation of the values obtained from sick patients.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the variation of values obtained from subjects in a healthy condition in order to grasp the abnormal variation of values more exactly.
Method
Subjects were sixth-year pupils of Osaka Municial Elementary School of Higashi Awaji. Neurometory was sutomatically recorded at the regular points 0.75 second after the onset of the measurement, with a neurometer (Improved Model D-401; Noiro Ika Kogyo Inc.) adjusted at 12V, 200mV.
Result
Excited H₆ large intestine channels, and inhibited F₂ liver channels and F₆ stomach channels were frequently seen as in the same time of other years.
Unlike adult subjects, the current intensity was low in the Yong meridians of the hand (H4, 5, 6), and high in the Yin meridians of the hand and the foot (H1, 2, 3, F1, 2, 3).
