Abstract
Acupuncture analgesia was performed on 100 occasions in 35 subjects. In 10% of cases the resulting analgesia was considered just adequate for surgery, and in 65% mild analgesia was produced but insufficient for surgery, whilst in the remaining 25 % there was only minimal analgesia, if any. Some of the subjects with mild analgesia could have been sufficiently anaesthetized for surgery if the pain of the stimulus had been increased to an unacceptably high level.Keywords
