Dor de cabea Male patient, age 32. Headache. V.A.

Paikina, Moscow My son phoned me at night and said that he had an unbearable headache, as if the head were going to burst. I decided to try to arrest it putting 3 needles into the brain correspondence area on the thumb and imagining that it was my son's hand. In 35 minutes, the pain in the correspondence points on the thumb could not be felt even when the needles received additional twisting. I took off the needles, they came out freely, and a large drop of blood appeared. Then I started massaging the thumb's tip, squeezing the blood out until it stopped dribbling (Fig. 1). At that time my son called again and said that the headache was over and he was very sleepy.
