| 概要 | Acupuncture anesthesia has been practiced in China since about 1960. In Japan, Hyodo re-ported 30 cases of acupuncture anesthesia in 1972. However, from around 1980, the direc-tion of acupuncture investigations turned from anesthesia to analgesia. Acupuncture analgesia is presently considered a way to activate the body’s endogenous analgesic system. Re-cently, with the rise of acupuncture as one of the most well known CAM therapies, acu-puncture or moxibustion treatment has been reported for both acute and chronic pain. Even so, few clinical reports and original articles have been reported in Japan. This review illus-trates how acupuncture is being used in Japan for acute pain such as surgical operations, post operative pain (POP), neuropathic pain, pain associated with teeth extractions and after the extraction of impacted wisdom teeth.
