Abstract
Professor XUE Li-gong's clinical experiences were summarized in treatment of painful bi syndrome of meridian muscle region with the "unknotting" method of long-round needle. It is believed that painful bi syndrome of meridian muscle region is related chiefly with the invasion of wind, cold and damp pathogens, exertion and traumatic injury. These pathogenic factors induce the "transverse-collateral" entrapment in the local and result in refractory painful bi syndrome of meridian muscle region. The "unknotting" method is adopted with long-round needle, which can either separate bluntly the knotted lesions or cut them sharply. "Taking the painful sites as the points" is the principle of point selection in treatment of meridian muscle disorder. Regarding needling techniques, joint needling, lateral needling and short needling are predominated.
