Abstract

We carried out a 2 nd questionnaire survey to complement the results of the initial questionnaire survey in 2003. The results of the symposium, “Acupuncture treatment on the local area versus the distal area” from the 53rd JSAM (Japan Society of Acupuncture and Moxibustion) 2003 annual meeting and the first questionnaire helped us refer our continuing discussion. In the last survey we had selected subjects at random from members of JSAM who had been since more than 12 years ago. But in this survey we selected subjects whom we expected as leaders of schools or groups. All answers had to be described. We sent questionnaires to 87 members, and 41 sent back replies.<BR>Items of investigation were the method of treatment (at modern acupuncture and moxibustion schools, traditional acupuncture and moxibustion schools, traditional Chinese medicine schools, etc..), the conditions under which local treatment and/or distal treatment are effective or ineffective, and syndromes for which local treatment and distal treatment are effective, and under those circumstances the theory of acupoint selection, the depth of insertion and resulting sensation. Eventually, opinions about both treatments were requested. The results were analyzed by simple and cross tabulation.<BR>The subjects were leaders of schools or groups. This questionnaire was based on the results of the past two symposiums and the initial questionnaire. As a result this survey of opinions and ideas were collecting articulated and approached the achievement of our purpose.
