Methods Seventy-two cases diagnosed as external humeral epicondylitis were brought into the study. Horizontal needling was used at upper area 3, upper area 4 and upper area 5 near wrists with long filiform needles. The frequency was once a day, and a course included 10 times. Results 27 cases got cured, 36 cases were marked effective, 5 cases were effective and 4 cases were failed after 1 course to 5 courses of treatment. The total effective rate was 94.5%. Conclusion Wrist-ankle acupuncture is a simple and effective therapy on external humeral epicondylitis.展开更多
