Results and Conclusions : The most of the acupoints referred to in the Hand section(the Oehyeong chapter) of Dong Ui Bo Gam, belong to the area surrounding the tenderpoint. Still, when a point around the tender point is taken, it does not simply mean it works because of its proximity to the spot of a specific symptom.
