Features: This book applies modern medical perspectives to provide a relatively comprehensive introduction to the etiology, pathogenesis, key diagnostic points, clinical treatment acupoints, and acupuncture methods for 66 neurological diseases, accompanied by remarks. The book primarily uses modern medical methods for diagnosis and acupuncture therapy for treatment. Each section on treatment acupoints and acupuncture methods details the selection of acupoints, acupuncture techniques, directions, depth, body positions, needle retention time, and treatment courses. In the remarks section, the therapeutic effects of this method for the disease, comments, optimal treatment timing, and pre- and post-acupuncture precautions are elaborated. The book not only introduces empirical acupuncture therapies but also selects and presents some drug closure therapies for diseases where acupuncture is ineffective or yields poor results. The acupuncture point combinations and closure methods in this book are clinically tested and proven.
