Acupuncture has played an important part in pain research. Bischko was the first in the Western hemisphere to undertake surgery using acupuncture analgesia. This tonsillectomy was performed in 1972. Decisive research work has been carried out at the Ludwig Boltzmann Acupuncture Institute in Vienna. We now have far more knowledge about the importance of the basic system. Furthermore, we know that the theories on chaos research, and, especially the fractals play an important role. Various ways of treating pain by means of acupuncture will be discussed: e.g. body acupuncture (with or without supportive transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation); treatment via the so-called somatotopies (ear, oral mucous membrane, scalp acupuncture according to Yamamoto etc.). The Ludwig Boltzmann Acupuncture Institute, in close collaboration with the II. Dept. of Internal Medicine at the Kaiserin-Elisabeth Hospital, Vienna, has been able to demonstrate on inpatients with a variety of conditions, that acupuncture could significantly reduce the quantity of analgesics required.
针灸在疼痛研究中发挥了重要作用。比施科是西半球首个使用针刺镇痛进行手术的人。该扁桃体切除术于1972年实施。维也纳的路德维希·玻尔兹曼针灸研究所开展了决定性的研究工作。如今，我们对基础系统的重要性有了更多了解。此外，我们知道混沌研究理论，尤其是分形理论发挥着重要作用。将讨论通过针灸治疗疼痛的各种方法：例如体针疗法（有无辅助经皮神经电刺激）；通过所谓的躯体特定部位疗法进行治疗（耳部、口腔黏膜、根据山本等方法进行头皮针灸）。路德维希·玻尔兹曼针灸研究所与维也纳伊丽莎白皇后医院内科二部密切合作，已能够在患有各种病症的住院患者身上证明，针灸可显著减少所需镇痛药的用量。
