A new canine auricular acupuncture point for the treatment for epilepsy is introduced. The new acupoint was used with a previously reported canine auricular acupoint (van Neikerk and Eckersley, 1988) for the treatment of epilepsy in five dogs. The testimonial results of these five cases indicate that the technique is worthy of scientific investigation, and controlled research is proposed. Only testimonial evidence currently supports its application, yet this innocuous treatment is recommended for use in all cases of canine epilepsy. The traditional Chinese medical explanation for the treatment is described, and hypothetical Western physiology is presented.
介绍了一个用于治疗癫痫的新犬耳针穴位。该新穴位与先前报道的犬耳针穴位(范·奈克尔克和埃克斯利,1988年)一起用于治疗五只犬的癫痫。这五个病例的见证结果表明该技术值得进行科学研究,并建议进行对照研究。目前仅有见证证据支持其应用,但建议将这种无害治疗方法用于所有犬癫痫病例。文中描述了该治疗方法的中医解释,并提出了假设的西方生理学依据。
