Cervical dystonia appeared in March 1998, and it seemed that no treatment was effective. Treatment by means of acupuncture started in March at Kansai College of Oriental Medicine. In the patient with cervical dystonia, EMG at the initial treatment showed only left splenius (SPL). Also shortening of the neck in the left frontal side was found, to treat these symptoms multiple epidermis needles was used. The retaining needles were GV20 for involuntary movement and SI3 for SPL. After 2 months from the start of treatment there was improvement of the neck posture in the sitting position, and smooth neck movement. This case also proves that EMG analysis and correct treatment by means of acupuncture improves the symptoms.

We report the effect of acupuncture based on the meridian concept by the writing evaluation test and writing pressure in a patient with writer's cramp. The case was a 32-year-old male, who was right-handed. The patient reported feeling a sense of incongruity while playing slot machine, and also in handwriting in X+6 years. When the department of nerve internal medicine at a local hospital was consulted, the problem was diagnosed as dystonic writer's cramp. We started acupuncture treatment in our clinic from X year. Acupuncture was performed once a week. Multiple epidermis penetrating needles were used to treat skin and muscle shortening on the palm and forearm. Retaining needles were used for scalp acupuncture in the upper limb zone, LI4 and ST11. Consequently, although some involuntary movement persisted 10 weeks after the start of treatment, control of handwriting became possible. Moreover, agitation during the application of writing pressure before acupuncture therapy was improved after acupuncture therapy. The results suggest that acupuncture therapy with the retaining needles and multiple epidermis penetrating needles is beneficial for dystonic writer's cramp.

左第5指の局所性ジストニアと診断されたクラリネット奏者1症例に対して、鍼治療をおこなった。症例は35歳の男性で、クラリネット奏者である。X-2年8月、クラリネットの練習中に左第5指の動きにくさに気づいた。左第5指の局所性ジストニアと診断されて内服薬にて治療を開始したが、症状は軽快しなかった。X年1月、鍼治療目的で関西医療大学附属診療所神経内科を紹介されて受診し、研究への同意を得て鍼治療を開始した。動作分析や表面筋電図評価、触診より、本症例の問題点は左第4虫様筋、左第4掌側骨間筋の筋活動低下、左短小指屈筋、左小指対立筋の過剰な筋活動、左尺側手根屈筋の筋活動低下の3点と判断した。鍼治療は週一回、両側上肢区に置鍼、左第4虫様筋、左第4掌側骨間筋、左小指球、左尺側手根屈筋に集毛鍼をおこなった。その結果、6回という少ない治療回数でクラリネット演奏時の症状に改善傾向を認めた。本症例の治療結果から、楽器演奏者の局所性ジストニアに対して、鍼治療が有効であることが示唆された。

According to acupuncture therapy for dystonia patients practised at the Outpatient Clinic, Kansai College of Oriental Medicine, there is a report that remote acupuncture therapy by the meridian concept is effective. It was reported that dystonia is sensory defect rather than dyskinesia, and we report acupuncture therapy of soft stimulus to normalize the upper central nervous system for stimulated sensory nerve. Based on the meridian theory, we investigated the influence of acupuncture stimulus to the sternocleidomastoid muscle (L14) through which the large intestine meridian (L1) passes on the hand, on the central nervous system and muscles by comparison of surface EMGS among 3 groups: no stimulus, 5 min stimulus, 20 min stimulus. After 20 min stimulus, both PMT and MT were significantly shortened compared with before stimulus. However, in the no stimulus and 5 min stimulus groups there were no differences in PMT and MT compared with before stimulus. This suggests that to excite the central nervous system and muscle function via the sternocleidomastoid muscle, 20 min acupucture is needed.

This report describes the effect of supraspinatus exercise during remote acupuncture therapy for a patient with periarthritis scapulohumeralis. It was considered that the cause of limitation of flexion in the shoulder joint was an abnormal flexion motion pattern due to lower activity of the supraspinatus muscle. The pattern of shoulder flexion was elevation and early upward rotation of the scapula caused by hyperactivity of the upper trapezius. Therefore, in order to increase the activity of the supraspinatus, remote acupuncture therapy was performed on the SI3 (Koukei) and to reduce the activity was performed on the TE5 (Gaikan). Exercise of the supraspinatus muscle was performed during remote acupuncture therapy. As a result of exercise during remote acupuncture therapy, the abnormal shoulder flexion pattern was improved and pain in the anterior part of the shoulder joint was reduced.

This report described the effect of remote acupuncture therapy for a scoliosis patient with low back pain. It was considered that the cause of the low back pain was contraction of the erector spinae. Contraction pain of the erector spinae was induced by trunk malalignment due to reduced trunk stabilization. Trunk instability was induced by reduced activity of the obliquus abdominis. Therefore, in order to increase the activity of the obliquus abdominis, remote acupuncture therapy was performed on the GB41 (Ashirinkyu). GB41 was a reaction point on the Gallbladder Meridian through the obliquus abdominis. As a result of remote acupuncture therapy, low back pain and trunk instability were reduced because the activity of the obliquus abdominis was increased.
