Migraine, Scar Treatment

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

Problem: Scar on the right cheek.
One of my friends recommended that I try AIT. At the beginning I did not feel much confidence in AIT. After an initial discussion of her treatment, I felt more confident and I began the treatment.
AIT method consisted of stimulating the dying cells of the scar to bring them back to normal. This was achieved through Acupuncture needles and Point Injections of Chinese Herbs and Vitamins on special points all over my body. The treatment took more time and more patience on my part than I expected, but in the end it was worth it. The scar on my face began to disappear. Where it was clearly visible earlier, it is now visible only under close scrutiny. My face is now smoother and clearer than before.
Problem: Migraines
In the past, whenever I got a headache, it lasted for days. I could do nothing except take pain killers and try to sleep. The well-trained Chinese doctor treated me for my migraines at the same time as for the scar, with the same acupuncture needles and injections but at different points. I was treated around 3 times a week for 2 months and later 2 times a week.
Within the first two months, not only did the pain of the migraine attack decrease, but even the frequency of the attacks decreased. After 3 months, the migraine attacks ceased altogether.
As an additional benefit, I also found that I was 1cm taller by the end of this treatment. I would like to say that I am definitely satisfied with Chinese doctor's treatment and affirm that her treatment has made my body more healthy, fresh and beautiful.

Migraine treated by Acupoint injection

100 Cases of Intractable Migraine Treated by Acupoint injection therapy :

We have treated l00 cases of intractable migraine by acupoint injection therapy, which means by using Chinese herbs and vitamins directly injected into specific acupuncture points with satisfactory therapeutic results as reported below.
Clinical Data
There were 100 cases in this series, including 38 males and 62 females. 8 cases were between l8 to 25 years old; 27 cases, 26 to 40; 52 cases , 4l to 55; and l3 cases over 55 years. The shortest duration of disease was 6 months, and the longest 25 years. 12 cases were due to trigeminal neuralgia, l7 nasosinusitis, and 7l were vascular.
Method of Treatment
Location of the point: The point is located on the left or right side of and 4.5 cun lateral to the midline of the back, parallel to the inferior border of the third thoracic vertebra. The point on the affected side is punctured.
Manipulation: The patient is asked to lie on their stomach and to place both upper extremities on the table with level shoulders. The needle is inserted rapidly and obliquely towards the head. Then, the combination of Chinese herbs and vitamins is injected at the specific acupuncture points to provide strong stimulation until the patient feels a sensation of aching and distension in the punctured area, which could radiate to the shoulder and arm. After obtaining a needling sensation, the liquid of certain herbs and vitamins ( according to the patient's condition ) is injected into acupoints.

Therapeutic Results:

Criteria for scoring the pain:
Severe pain, which is not stopped until morphine-like drugs are administered,
scores 4: pain which is severe but can be relieved with common analgesics,
scores 3: pain which is moderate in severity and can be relieved by itself,
scores 2: a vague pain
scores l: little pain
scores 0: no pain

Criteria for therapeutic effects:
Cured: Pain score is 0 and a 3-month follow-up shows no recurrence.
Markedly improved: Pain score is 1.
Improved: Pain score is 2.
Ineffective: No obvious improvement.

Therapeutic effects: After 3-10 treatments with a 3-month follow-up, 57 cases (57%) were cured; 26 (26%) were markedly improved; 11 were improved; and 6 (6%) were ineffective. The total effective rate was 94%.

Typical Case:
A 57-year-old female, house wife, paid her first visit on May 21, with a complaint of severe migraine on the right side for 30 years, sometimes accompanied by nausea. The pain was not remitted after taking ergotamine. So, she asked for injections of morphine when the pain could not be controlled. The patient had suffered from right-side migraine since August, l970 after delivering her baby. The pain was gradually exacerbated, with a shortening of recurrent periodicity and lengthening of pain duration. Usually each episode lasted one to two weeks, accompanied by nausea, dizziness, and pressure behind the eyes. There was an interval of about l0 days between each episode. The pain had become even severe 2 years previously, it was intolerable to the patient and could not be remitted after oral analgesics and vasodilators except by injections of morphine and the like.
After one treatment by acupoint injection therapy with Chinese herbs and vitamins as mentioned above, the pain was obviously remitted. Next day, she had slight pain and a tight sensation in the nose, but tinnitus and the feeling of pressure in the head had disappeared. The same treatment was repeated. At her third visit on the fourth day, the pain was found to be relieved completely; one more month's treatment was given to consolidate the therapeutic effect and for other purposes. No recurrence was found in a 15-month follow--up.

Comments:

Migraine is a frequently-encountered disease which is difficult to treat. Intractable migraine produces severe pain during episodes and is dreadful for the patient especially when it becomes periodic. Furthermore, the fearful mental state also usually induces the attack of migraine.
Traditional Chinese medicine holds that the head is the confluence of all the Yang meridians and acts as the house of lucid Yang. The essence and blood of five ZANG-organs and the lucid Yang-qi of six FU-organs ascend to the head. Therefore, normal circulation of sufficient Qi and blood in meridians is the guarantee for keeping a clear head. Likewise invasion of the six exogenous pathogens or blockage by phlegm and blood stasis can give rise to headache. Stimulating Acupuncture points by Chinese herbs and vitamins can exert the action of promoting a free flow of Qi and blood in meridians, so that lucid Yang can ascend and turbid Yin descend. Strong stimu1ation by acupoint injection therapy can quickly relieve the pain, and certain herbs ( such as Dan Qui, Dan Shen ) can bring about rapid elimination of phlegm and blood stasis, while Vitamin B can provide nutrition for the nerves.
