    30. History After electro-acupuncture (EA) analgesia was found effectively to perform a surgery in China in the early 1970's, EA has been widely used in TCM practice.

    31. Advantage: 1) More effective 2) Less treatments 3) Less acupoints 4) Save labor to manipulate the needles (Classically, the needles should be manipulated every 2 to 3 minutes). 5) Objective control of frequency and amplitude Amplitude (intensity of stimulation): a tolerance level Frequency: Low level: pain ----> beta endorphin mediated High level: internal medicine?> serotonin mediated

    33. Contraindications: 1) Weak/deficient patients 2) Heart problems 3) seizure/epilepsy 4) tumor

    37. Electro-acupuncture: how to pair the points 1) Bilateral connection a. Pair BL-54 on left side to right BL54 for hip dysplasia; b. Hua-tuo-jia-ji on the left to right side for disk diseases c. BL-21 on the left to right BL-21 for vomiting d. KID-1 on the left to right KID-1 for rear weakness e. Left Ding-chuan + right Ding-chuan for cough 2) Same Channel connection. a. GV-14 + Bai-hui for disk disease, vestibular dx b. LI-10 + LI-15 on the same side for shoulder pain c. Tip of tail + GV-20 for vestibular dx, disk disease 3) Local connection a. TH-14 + LI-15 on the same side for shoulder pain b. GB-34 + ST-35 on the same side for stifle pain 4) Same energetic connection ST-36 + GB-34 on the same side for vomiting, rear weakness ST-36 + BL-20 on the same side for SP Qi deficiency

    38. 5) From the top to bottoms for paralysis a. BL-54 + KID-1 for rear limb paralysis b. PC-8 + GV-14 for front limb paralysis c. GB-21 + HT-3 for front limb paralysis 6) Cover large areas a. BL-20 on the left + right BL28 for T-L-S IVDD 7) Normal area to ?sick? area a. BL-21 to KID-1 for no deep pain caudal to BL-22 b. ST-5 left to right for right facial paralysis
