The simple and effective controlled needle devices were provided for acupuncture clinical trial so that the double blind acupuncture trial could be conducted possibly. The basic structure of filiform needle was modified. The needle handle was designed as hollow, the upper 1/3 of needle body as hollow and the lower 2/3 part as solid. The upper and lower parts were linked with an elastic unit. At the same time, the needle pad was attached. With this method, the new sham-acupuncture device was designed and developed. The new sham-acupuncture device could simulate needle insertion, manipulation and the techniques of reinforcing and reducing, without inserting into the human body. This innovation lays the foundation for perfecting the clinical randomized controlled blind trial of acupuncture.
提供了简单有效的可控针具用于针灸临床试验，以便有可能进行双盲针灸试验。对毫针的基本结构进行了改进。针柄设计为中空，针体上1/3为中空，下2/3部分为实心。上下两部分通过一个弹性单元相连。同时，附上针垫。通过这种方法，设计并开发了新型假针灸装置。新型假针灸装置可以模拟进针、行针以及补泻手法，而不刺入人体。这一创新为完善针灸临床随机对照盲法试验奠定了基础。
