The author recently treated a case of sickle-cell crisis as an emergency for pain relief using acupuncture because all other conventional therapies failed. The result was so effective, dramatic and encouraging that four other cases of genotype SS/SC were also treated. These cases are reported, (though small in number) to bring attention to this easy, simple, cheap and convenient therapy and to stimulate research among practicing acupuncturists and clinicians.
作者最近紧急治疗了一例镰状细胞危象，采用针灸来缓解疼痛，因为所有其他传统疗法均告失败。结果非常有效、显著且令人鼓舞，因此另外还对4例基因型为SS/SC的患者进行了治疗。现报告这些病例（尽管数量不多），以引起人们对这种简便、廉价且便捷疗法的关注，并激励执业针灸师和临床医生开展研究。
