146 WEBER ET AL. Does the Patient Feel the Treatment? Sometimes, a slight De Qi feeling occurs after 2-10 min- utes of treatment if enough photon energy for stimulating the point has penetrated the tissue. How Are Treatment Periods Determined? As described above, the recommended treatment times differ substantially from the treatment times of conventional laser pen acupuncture, for which therapies are completed within seconds or minutes. The criterion of De Qi generally is regarded as an optimum achievement of the point with the utmost effect, and in this case, it was also used as a basis. De Qi in laser needle acupunc- ture occurred in an average of 10 minutes; thus, a beginning optimum point stimulation could be assumed, and the therapy was extended to 20 minutes. Extensive tests over years have repeatedly shown that the most effective therapy has been ob- tained in this time period. The treatment time has been reduced to 10 minutes for sensitive areas such as the face and ear, but, can be extended gradually up to 15–20 minutes. AREAS OF APPLICATION Body Acupuncture How are the laser needles attached to the body? We ini- tially developed the following method and applied it for sev- eral years: a small silicone sleeve with a plate, covered by a perforated plaster, is pushed on the laser needle and sub- Ear and skull acupuncture with red laser needles in a child with migraine. sequently fixed on the skin (Figure 5). (This procedure is simple but can result in a hygiene problem in case of fre- quent reuse of the sleeves.) Two new methods have been developed: (1) laser needles are fixed with industrial-made disposable sleeves that are equally attached with a perforated plaster, or (2) laser needles are attached by means of a self-clamping (with the ability to be sterilized) stainless steel sleeve and a perforated plaster. Acupuncture of the Ears and Head An adjustable padded head ring is placed on the head like a crown (Figure 6). Up to 12 flexible coated wires carry the laser needles, which can be attached to the point with the help of a guiding bar, with slight pressure and without glue (Figures 7-9).13 BASIC RESEARCH Most of the basic research on laser needle therapy has been performed by Professor Litscher (Karl Franzens, Uni- FIG. 7.
