Acupuncture and Skin Temperature Behavior

"We used the following Bladder acupuncture points, Weizong (B40) in the middle of the popliteal fossa and Kunlun (B60) located in a depression between the lateral malleolus and the Achilles tendon. The subjects were instructed to report the De Qi perception (paresthesia or numbness) that was the advice to the researchers that the point was right punctured. After the De qi was reported, the needle remained in the acupuncture point for 20 minutes and was rotated three times more for the preservation of the effect. During this time, all subjects remained in the supine laying down position on the stretcher."
