How to optimize the double needle insertion pain, in Mesopuncture
How to optimize the double
needle insertion pain in Acupuncture- Mesopuncture knowing that if it is
acceptable for a single AP, it becomes uncomfortable when several APs are
targeted?

About
Mesopuncture- Details
Mesopuncture is the deposit of some
drops of a neutral or active drug, in the Acupuncture Point AP, either by
injection or passive deposit or iontophoresis or virtual Mesotherapy.
It is a mode of treatment proposed by
Chinese Medicine. It is, also, a western treatment by localized skin
injections.
Its rebirth, after its oblivion in West,
was initiated by the site:
http://www.mesopuncture.com
It is a website of, at the same time
· Information on the AP stimulus by some drops of a
liquid drug of the pharmacopoeia.
· Information about the BMN use, injection device made
with a hypodermic needle of same diameter as the acupuncture needle, topped by
a resilient polymer reservoir, without glue and piston.
Classical acupuncture brings in the
treatment, of pain for example, an energy dimension by stimulation of the
Acupuncture Points _APs selected.
· Stimulation of these APs, essential for the treatment,
is performed
*- With the compact acupuncture
needle or needleless: Laser, moxa, pulsed light, massage etc. Correction of the
energy imbalance by Acupuncture alone, cause of the pain in Acupuncture, is of
limited duration, 3-7 days.
*- With a liquid drug, Mesopuncture,
injected or deposited with/without needle: It helps to restore the energetic
balance, the drug further having a pharmacological action, on pain in this
case.
Using an antalgic liquid drug, with
slow elimination, allows extending the antalgic action of Acupuncture, by
lengthening the stimulus duration of AP, regardless of its pharmacological
action.
But antalgics of long-term
elimination are not numerous and their action is limited to 2-3 weeks.
·
Apart
from analgesic drugs with a duality of concordant actions, on pain for example,
both pharmacological and energetic, it is possible to use liquid drugs with
single energetic action and whose stimulating action on the AP is of much
longer period without any own pharmacological action on pain.
Conduct of the consultation
·
In each AP it
is necessary to insert a compact acupuncture needle.
·
After about
twenty minutes, required to obtain the ‘Acupuncture Effect’, this compact
needle is replaced by the hollow needle of a syringe. It allows injecting few
drops of the liquid drug contained in the syringe, first into the AP to achieve
Mesopuncture and secondly into the dermis around the AP to create Mesotherapy
points.
To avoid inserting several needles (Acupuncture and
hypodermic needles) into the same AP and privileging insertion of a single
needle into the same AP or no needle at all, two solutions are possible:
·
Either the
Therapist chooses the non-invasive version:
Mesopuncture performed by iontophoresis and Acupuncture by massaging,
waves, heat…
Or
·
In the version
by needle, He chooses to use the BMN: The best solution, comfortable and
practical, and why?
The BMN is a simple device, a hollow needle of 0.3 in
diameter, surmounted by a deformable polymer reservoir, all functioning as a
dropper.
The originally empty reservoir, used for gripping and
inserting the needle, is filled by two fingers pressure.
Furthermore the BMN does not prevent the dorsal or
ventral decubitus.
Why the BMN is an
acupuncture needle notwithstanding?
Because, according to the FDA, to be an acupuncture
needle, the needle must have a handle for grasping it when performing
Acupuncture: The reservoir is the handle necessary to properly perform
acupuncture with the BMN.
·
The needle is
inserted into the PA to stay twenty minutes at the end of which are injected
few drops of the drug filling the reservoir, not only in the AP, but also in
the dermis around the AP to create the Mesotherapy Points_ MPs.
The BMN with a single insertion of the same needle has
enabled the realization of two versions of Chinese medicine, Acupuncture and
Mesopuncture and a new western method of drug delivery by local injection or
Mesotherapy.
How is held the
Acupuncture-Mesopuncture consultation?
·
The BMN is
inserted into the AP, the consultation continues, the dorsal or prone positions
are possible. At the end of the allotted time (about 20 minutes), some drops of
the reservoir contents are injected into the AP, this is Mesopuncture.
According to a star shape, into the dermis, all around the AP, some drops of
liquid drug from the same origin are injected to create the MPs.
It could thus be achieved the set Mesotherapy
Acupuncture Mesopuncture or MAM with a single insertion pain of a single needle
in the skin.
The BMN thus allows
optimizing the pain due to the insertion of multiple needles.
