The authors evaluated the method of acupuncture used for analgesia in various types of minor and major surgical operations in patients not previously tested for determination of susceptibility for this method. The report is a preliminary communication. For major operations the patients received premedication and during the operation they received additional local or general analgesics. Out of 13 patients in various age groups 5 evaluated this analgesia as very good and in 3 cases the degree of analgesia obtained was not sufficient to perform the operation. The authors regard that acupuncture has found its main application principally in the treatment of chronic pain, while as a method of analgesia for surgical operations it has many disadvantages and requires further experiences. The authors observed also certain features of acupuncture analgesia not observed in conventional methods of nerve conduction blockade, which may contribute to the explanation of the mechanism of acupuncture.
作者对针刺镇痛法在各类大小手术中的应用进行了评估，这些患者此前未接受过该方法敏感性测定的测试。本报告为初步交流。对于大手术患者，术前给予了术前用药，术中还给予了额外的局部或全身镇痛药。在13名不同年龄组的患者中，5人认为这种镇痛效果非常好，3例患者获得的镇痛程度不足以进行手术。作者认为针刺主要应用于慢性疼痛的治疗，而作为一种手术镇痛方法，它有许多缺点，需要更多经验。作者还观察到了针刺镇痛的某些特征，这些特征在传统的神经传导阻滞方法中未被观察到，这可能有助于解释针刺的机制。
