[Discussion of correlativity between acupoints and Goldenberg's tender points].
OBJECTIVE
To study clinically on acupoints by probing the correlativity between Goldenberg's tender points in the patient of fibromyalgia syndrome and acupoints.


METHODS
Local hyaluronidase injection and other methods were adopted.


RESULTS
The tender points were increased by more than 50 groups according to the standard of Goldenberg's tender points. The Goldenberg's tender points and acupoints both have tender character, radiating pain character by palpation, local cord and lump fibrous harden change.


CONCLUSIONS
Both the Goldenberg's tender point and the acupoint are inflammatory reactive points of the body diseases with diagnosis and treatment significance. Most of the parts in relatively healthy people are at bone joints where myofasciae adhere with rich nerves and vessels distribution and good reactivity to internal and external circumstances.
