文摘In the present paper, the author puts forward six key points for acupuncture treatment of diseases, namely, (1) careful examination, (2) definite diagnosis, (3) precise and appropriate identification of syndromes, (4) accurate location of the acupoint, (5) flexible application of needling manipulations, and (6) 'Deqi'. The first three aspects are the foundation, accurate location and flexible needling manipulations are also the prerequisite for effective treatment of diseases. In addition, sound theoretical basic knowledge of both traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and modern medicine, and flexibly applying suitable needling maneuvers, stimulating quantity and duration of needle retaining in accordance with the concrete state of disease and the patient's conditions are also very important in clinical practice of acupuncture.
