The acupoint location refers to the 2006 National Standard of the People's Republic of China (GB/T12346-2006) "Acupoint Name and Location".
Operation process: The patient's position is supine. After the acupuncturist disinfects his hands and the acupoints on both sides of the subject with 75% alcohol, he will cover the acupuncture points on both sides with invading foam pads (1*1*1cm3). Renying acupuncture point uses a 0.25×0.25mm disposable sterile acupuncture needle, which passes through the hollow tube and penetrates into the acupuncture point through the foam rubber pad. The depth of acupuncture is 0.5-1.0cm, depending on the acupoint location and body size. After the needle was inserted, the subject felt sore and numb and swollen locally. For the remaining acupuncture points (Neiguan, Yanglingquan, Baihui, Yintang), a 0.25×0.25mm disposable sterile blunt tip (not able to pierce the skin) acupuncture needles pass through the hollow tube and touch the subject through the foam pad On the skin, a blunt needle cannot pierce the skin, but only locally produces a tingling sensation when the needle is pressed against the skin, which is similar to the pain when a normal needle is inserted into the needle. Needle retention time is 30 minutes.
