Immediate Analgesic Effects of Cheek Acupuncture for Acute Gouty Arthritis

Based on the theory of holography and the theory of the Great Sanjiao, the acupoints were chosen under the guidance of the foundation of cheek acupuncture, selecting bilateral Sanjiao acupoints, bilateral head acupoints, foot and ankle acupoints on the affected side, and matching acupuncture points for local strengthening of the foot and ankle acupuncture points, using the triangular needle strengthening method. The treatment was performed with the patient lying on his back in a comfortable position, with routine local disinfection, rapid transdermal needle entry to the acupuncture points, and needle discharge after 30 minutes of needle retention, after which the needle hole was compressed with a cotton ball for a few moments.
