Abstract EN
We studied the validity of a “Streitberger” needle as a valid approach in a Chinese population with experience of acupuncture.
Volunteers were recruited from students of the School of Acupuncture and Moxibustion, Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine.
Sixty students receiving education in acupuncture theory and experience in practical acupuncture were tested in study determining whether needling with the placebo needle felt any different from conventional acupuncture.
Outcomes included measures of penetration sensation, VAS ratings, and Deqi sensation questionnaire.
As a result, needle penetration, VAS ratings for either needle and Deqi sensation were not significantly different between two kinds of needles.
Our findings show that the use of “Streitberger” needle is credible in a Chinese population with acupuncture experience.
