Features: Acupuncture therapy, with a history of over 2,500 years, is a treasure of traditional Chinese medicine. In the era of increasingly advanced modern medicine, the ancient acupuncture therapy has not only not been but has shown its unique charm. This book systematically organizes and publishes research achievements over the past 10 years (1987—1997), in English, hoping to contribute to a better understanding of the principles of acupuncture analgesia among the medical and biological communities. This effort aims not only to promote the clinical application of acupuncture but also to attract more scholars to engage in this research, which will inevitably uncover more indications that can be used for acupuncture therapy. Drug dependence, especially heroin addiction, is likely to be one of these indications.
