Double-hand manipulation is a needling technique, with which No. 30 filiform needles of various lengths are selected and inserted into the affected part of the body in opposite directions or symmetrically upward-downward, rightward- leftward, anteriorly-posteriorly to the point, followed by needle twirling with both hands. When the two opposite needle tips are twirled to a certain degree, the soreness, warm, numbness, and distending needling sensation tends be connected in a line, forming a rather strong needling sensation. After such manipulation for some time, the needles are retained for 30 min., during which the needle manipulation is given 3-5 times at intervals. This needling treatment is given once daily. The author of this article has adopted this manipulation method in the acupuncture treatment of various diseases with quite satisfactory results. Some of the sample cases are listed as follows.
