Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: The present study was conducted to unveil the existence of a medical technique called Chicken-foot-shaped needling method(¡°Gaejokchimbup¡±) from the mid-Chosen Dynasty era and for historical investigation of this technique.
Methods: Among historical literatures from China, Korea, and Japan on acupuncture and moxibustion, mentions of ¡°Gaejok¡±(chicken foot) were searched for and studied.
Results: Among the Chinese literatures, some medical scholars made references to ¡°chicken foot¡± after mentioned in Lingshu Jing. In the Korean literatures, Donguibogam gave it the name Gaejokchimbup and mentioned it. In Japan¡¯s Chimgugeukbeecho which contains the acupuncture and moxibustion knowledge of Korean doctors, the procedural method was explained in detail.
Conclusions: According to these ancient medical literatures, Gaejok was used largely in two meanings. First meaning was performing acupuncture with 3¡4 needles in a chicken foot-like shape on a narrow area, whereas the second meaning was using one acupuncture needle and repeatedly inserting the needle while changing directions according to a path in the shape of a chicken¡¯s foot. Based on Rumenshiqin and Chimgugeukbeecho, which contain records of actual clinical experiences, Gaejokchimbup appears to have been used as the second method mention above.
