title: The relationship between needling sensation and acupuncture effects, with special reference to their ascending pathway in the spinal cord.
abstract: Acupuncture studies were carried out in 25 cases of Syringomyelia, concerning needling sensation and effect. The results of the experiments have proved the theory of Chinese traditional medicine--"'Qi' reaches, thus effect produces"--and elucidated the ascending spinal pathway of needling sensation.
