???Acupuncture Anesthesia??? ??? A Clinical Study

Abstract
Emaining 4 required conversion to local anesthesia. After interviewing the patients, we felt that the success of “acupuncture anesthesia” was largely dependent on patient motivation, and that a patient may experience pain during surgical procedures without any change in facial expression or vital signs. We concluded that “acupuncture anesthesia” is of little value in our patient population at present. Its results are unpredictable; therefore, we anticipate that patient acceptance will be small.
