This book marks the first original collection of acupuncture case histories in English. Included are over one hundred case histories contributed by prominent practitioners of acupuncture in China. The case histories represent a broad spectrum of disorders for which acupuncture is used in contemporary China. Each of the case histories provides a thorough discussion of the traditional Chinese diagnosis and syndrome differentiation, together with the points and techniques selected for treatment. The course of therapy is described, and alterations in the diagnosis and treatment regimen are analyzed. The results of treatment-both favorable and unfavorable-are noted. An introduction compares and contrasts many of the treatment techniques and types of points used in the cases.
The Chinese authors have collated a wide range of difficult and complex cases and the treatments used to remedy them. This is an invaluable source book for the Western practitioner who does not have the opportunity to learn at first hand from Chinese experience. Each case history is analysed in detail and the method of treatment, and its criteria for selection explained. The book concentrates on more difficult cases because this is where the experience of others has most to teach. The contents list below details the various regions and conditions covered in the book.
The ability to apply complex theory to practice is a vital skill for acupuncturists. Case studies and medical records are an extremely useful resource for understanding how to differentiate between different syndromes, and provide invaluable precedents for deciding upon appropriate methods of diagnosis and treatment. This book presents a collection of real case studies of patients who have been treated by prominent acupuncture practitioners in China. The case studies are divided into five sub-categories of disease, and include information on the patient's medical history, presenting complaint, symptoms, tongue and pulse examination, diagnosis, treatment, and prescription as well as the Western diagnosis. More than 170 different case studies are included in the book, covering 73 different types of syndromes and disease. A useful appendix with the Chinese and English names for these syndromes is also included. Compiled by leading experts at the China Beijing International Acupuncture Training Center (CBIATC), under the editorial direction of leading Chinese clinicians Zhu Bing and Wang Hongcai, this book is a useful reference for acupuncture practitioners and students at all levels.
An informative and provocative text, this book describes the current status of knowledge and challenges scientists to better define acupuncture therapy.

This book is intended to aid the student studying case study for the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) in Foundation of Chinese Medicine Licensing Examination. It is highly recommended to be used to combine with my other two books which are Review and Pretest for NCCAOM and California Exams in TCM Foundation and Handouts for NCCAOM Board Preparation Course in Foundation Module. I have been teaching NCCAOM Board Review class since 2009 in Acupuncture college in the United States. This book is the result of my teaching materials and experience. It includes most common types of the case study in Chinese Medicine and is intended to help the student prepare for a general class exam and Board licensing exam.The material is organized and divided into three parts. The first part covers general introduction regarding how to use three-steps methods and tips to solve case study questions. The second part covers case study practice questions by types. The last part includes four comprehensive case study exams. All these questions can be used as a pretest to identify areas of weakness or as a post-test to determine mastery. The practice tests can reflect the content and format of Chinese medicine class test and Board licensing examination.
