The Treatment of Spastic Hemiparesis with Wang Le-ting's 'Governing Vessel 13 Needles'

A 48 year old male had been diagnosed with spastic hemiparesis following the surgical removal of a brain tumour. He received 14 acupuncture treatments, 10 of which involved Professor Wang Le-ting’s point prescription “Governing Vessel 13 Needles”. After an initial four acupuncture treatments produced no improvement, the subsequent 10 treatments using Wang’s point prescription resulted in significant improvements in mobility, balance, clarity of speech, facial numbness and well-being.
