Abstract

Xiaozendao (meaning "small-needle-knife," in Chinese) is a form of alternative medical instrument shaped like an acupuncture needle with a flat edge on the needle tip. It is widely used for the treatment of many different disorders in Asian countries, especially in the People's Republic of China. Its use has gained increasing popularity. To our knowledge, there are no reports of practitioners' experiences or adverse events related to "small-needle-knifed" therapy until now. We reported the first case of spinal-cord injury with delayed onset of neurologic symptoms from a broken small-needle-knife insertion into the spinal cord.

摘要

小针刀（中文意为“小针刀”）是一种替代医疗器械，形状像针灸针，针尖有一个扁平边缘。它在亚洲国家，特别是中华人民共和国，被广泛用于治疗许多不同的疾病。它的使用越来越受欢迎。据我们所知，到目前为止，尚无关于从业者经验或与“小针刀”疗法相关不良事件的报道。我们报告了首例因折断的小针刀插入脊髓导致神经症状延迟出现的脊髓损伤病例。
