Abstract

Letter bilaterally where appropriate, epimysium and gluteus medius. No Electroacupuncture without manual stimulation: BL23, point was mentioned for needling treatment of acute low BL24, BL25, BL52, BL53, BL54, psoas major. After the first session, back pain: unlikely to be a GV3 and GV4. The needles at the author used three cadavers to BL52 and BL54 were stimulated estimate the anatomical position of placebo response electrically (4 Hz) after insertion. psoas major in relation to the lower She did not experience any de qi or back. The cadavers were prepared acupuncture sensation. Immediately for teaching medical students and Acupuncture is commonly used for after removal of the needles her were stored at an anatomy labora- acute low back pain (LBP), and a pain was barely improved. tory of the author’s affiliated insti- recent systematic review found At follow-up the next day, the tution. The result suggested that encouraging evidence on its effect- same points were needled and psoas major was located at around iveness compared with medication again stimulated electrically, with 4–5 cm lateral to the midline, or sham acupuncture.
