Abstract
It is the attempt of this study to determine the efficacy of response to acupuncture at 24 hours, one week, and three week intervals at the end of a series of treatments in 328 patients. Treated for a variety of disorders, approximately 60% had satisfactory responses of up to 3 weeks duration. The 328 patients were classified into 13 categories of problem disorders; headaches, cevical pain, lumbar pain without radiaiton, lumbar pain with readiation, isolated sciatica, parathoracic pain, knee pain, elbow pain, shoulder pain, generalized musculoskeletal pains (rheumatism), neurological disorders, and a general miscellaneous category. The problem disorders were then arranged into etiolgical categories. In general for each problem disorder, except for neurological, the average response ranged in the 60-65% range at the third week interval.
