After the skin routine sterilization, the intradermal needles, 0.2 mm x 1.5 mm（the SEIRIN-thumb-tack needle） were embedded subcutaneously at Zúlinqì（足临泣GB 41）, Zhōngzhǔ（中渚 TE 3） and Xiàguān（下关 ST 7） on the affected side. The acupoints were pressed and kneaded gently to induce mild soreness and distention.When pressing and kneading GB 41 and TE 3, the patients were required to open and close the mouth in small amplitude to achieve the effects of kinetic acupuncture. The treatment was given twice a week.The needles were retained for 24 h. A total of 6 treatments were required.Results： A total of 22 cases were cured, accounting for 51.16%, 15 cases effective remarkably, accounting for 34.88% and 6 cases failed, accounting for 13.95%. The total effective rate was 86.05%.Conclusion： The thumb-tack needle is significantly effective on TMD.展开更多
