Zusammenfassung

Die Akupunktur, die „Sticheltherapie der alt-chinesischen Medizin“ [30], stellt eine Form der Hautreiz- und Segmenttherapie dar. Dünne Metallnadeln werden in spezielle Akupunkturpunkte eingeführt, die auf empirisch herausgefundenen Leitbahnen (den sog. Meridianen) liegen. Die Akupunkturpunkte werden dadurch mechanisch stimuliert; aber auch andere Reizformen (elektrischer Strom, Laser oder Hitzeeinwirkung (Moxibustion) sind möglich. In der westlichen Medizin wird die Akupunktur bei unterschiedlichen Erkrankungen angewendet. Leidlich gesicherte Therapieerfolge stammen z.B. von der Therapie einiger chronischer Schmerzzustände entsprechend der Akupunkturindikationsliste der WHO, bei denen die Fähigkeit zur Selbstheilung noch aktiviert werden kann [8, 9, 26, 28, 29]. Die sog. Akupunkturnarkose oder Elektrostimulationsanästhesie hat sich demgegenüber nicht durchsetzen können [3, 23, 25, 32].
