METHOD FOR PROLONGING THE EFFECTS ON ACUPUNCTURE POINTS, INCLUDING FOR REDUCING EXCESSIVE BODY WEIGHT AND FOR BODY CORRECTION, DEVICE AND NEEDLES (VARIANTS) FOR PERFORMING THE ABOVE METHOD

Pronalaska region

The invention belongs to the group of inventions related to medicine, especially, for example, the field of acupuncture reflexology, in particular, they promote the reduction of excess body weight (treating obesity).

The problem of the state of health of people suffering from excess body weight is becoming more and more relevant. The socio-economic background of the last decades is the result of an increase in the number of individuals with obesity in 50% of the adult population.

Obesity is a biological outcome characterized by increased adipose tissue throughout the body with predominance in hypodermal tissue.

Human suffering from weight gain cannot always be the reason for weight reduction, while the motivation of excessive consumption and high-calorie food built in his or her mind is constantly encouraged by the macro and micro social environment. Genotype, adipose tissue constitution, state of activity in relation to hormonal metabolism, structural and functional irritability of the center of appetite and satiety, emotional and psychological components of nutrition, individual belonging to internal factors affect weight gain.

Numerous studies have established that obesity is a precursor in the development of ischemic heart diseases, arterial hypertension and also a wide range of cardiovascular diseases.

Thus, the problem of body mass correction is current in the prevention and treatment of prevalent and socially important diseases.

Background of the invention

The use of different constructions of needles and methods of acting on acupuncture points has been known for thousands of years. Massage, heating, pressure skill, puncture and so on belong to those methods. The proposed method is characteristic for the effect of needles on the patient's reflexology points.

An analogous proposed method is the method of providing a sedative effect to the patient using body needles known since ancient times. The effective time of those needles, according to known methods, ranges from thirty to forty minutes to a maximum of one to two hours (G. Luvsan, "Sketches of Oriental Reflexology Methods", edition of Science Novosibirsk, Siberian Sector 1991, page 228).

The described method has weaknesses: such as the creation of pain (acute and chronic diseases, cancerous and traumatic pain syndromes, allergic diseases, treating abstinence syndrome, etc.), and the effect of body and ear needles is limited to the duration of one procedure; the patient is forced to one or several similar procedures for a long time and the possibility of greater prolongation and extension of the therapy is not provided. In addition, the disclosure of the proposed method to the public can be marked by methods of action on the patient's acupuncture points using needles, as described in the book (G. Barashkov "Pain Reflexotherapy ", "TM-Oko" publisher and NCMI "Universimed" Moscow, 1995, pp. 185 to 186, 124 to 125; and the article by O.M. Kokhanovich "Tezisy respublikanskoy nauchnoy conferentsii" Nemedikamentoznye metody kupirovaniya kronicheskikh bolevykh sindromov" (Abstract of the Republic Scientific Conference "Non-medical methods for treating chronic pain syndromes") published in 1989, pp. 73 to 74).

The disadvantages of the mentioned methods are found in G. Barashok's book, where the acupuncture technique is described, where the needle enters a local point and, passing through it, exits at another point...''. This means that the needle does not exit through the point, through which the free end of the needle as an exit outside the surface of the skin is not previously described, which means that the needle as a whole remains in the patient's body.

It is clear from the terminology used by authors of known origin that the traditional introduction of needles is described for the procedure of treating patients and is widely known and described concisely in any of the recommended books and monographs on the use of needles in reflexology. The said influence is limited by the effect of the procedure. After the procedure, the needles are removed and the patient is prescribed the next procedure. When performing this method, the patient relies on the doctor in order to achieve a positive effect during the mentioned procedures.

The same defects are present in the method described by O.M. Kokhanovch, where the term "sewing" is mentioned as illegal or prohibited, while the needle insertion technique is described in the mentioned document as "horizontally subcutaneous", i.e. the needle remains in the patient's body for an hour and a half or more (about two days), which is similar to the method described by G. Barashkov.

There are already some techniques and methods for correcting increased body weight that have been proposed. However, most of them (hypocaloric diet, use of biological additives in food, increasing physical activity, use of advice and coding, massages and others) undoubtedly limit and do not always give the desired results for the patient and the doctor. In cases where their effects are achieved, then it is very unstable and usually has a reversible character.

At the same time, such factors in the history of duration of obesity, the type of deposition of fat tissue, the age and gender of patients suffering from excessive body weight are usually not taken into consideration.

Recently, expensive surgical methods of weight reduction such as plastic surgery and cryogenic lifting have found an increased field of use. However, there are many contraindications for the use of the mentioned methods, especially liposuction, because physical pathology and various complications are associated with the use of the mentioned methods. Furthermore, they are not available for patients in most regions of Russia, both in terms of performing these methods using the participation of specially trained and highly qualified personnel and expensive equipment.

The applicant is of the opinion that under the conditions of acupuncture and the technique of reflexology is the optimal method for correcting excessive body weight, which lowers the performance of the therapy respecting the individual genotype of the patient, the constitution of adipose tissue that is reactive to the state of hormonal metabolism, structural and functional stimulation of the center of appetite and satiety, so well that are types of unconditioned reflexes associated with feeding.

One of the known methods relates to the method according to the invention for the correction of excessive body weight, including carrying out at intervals of fourteen days auricular reflexotherapy procedures in acupuncture points AP 17, 18, 55, 87 using micro-needles, which are secured with adhesive patches for fourteen days. The patient wears needles and thus carries out autostimulation of the points by periodically pressing the adhesive patch every 30 minutes.

In the second procedure, micro-needles are moved from the auricle and inserted into the acupuncture points of the other auricle. Furthermore, several body reflexology procedures are supported (RU 2, 176, 496).

The described method has the following disadvantages

1. Leaving the micro-needle in the auricle for fourteen days does not satisfy the effect of blocking the hunger center and adjusting the food intake reflex to an adequate appetite.

2. The use of body reflexology, especially points F 13, RP10, 11, 16, E 19 to 28, VB 25, 26, 29, 31, 33, 34, V19, 48 does not ensure complete coverage and removal of maximum fat zones, not allowing that way successful correction of the body

3. A short interval between physical procedures (one to three days) causes psychological distress, fear of pain, as well as the formation of hematomas in patients.

4. The procedure of extending the time of ear point therapy using micro needles is limited in terms of natural skin regeneration and desquamation of the upper epidermal layer, which are supported by discarding the adhesive patch and removing the needles. What's more, the disadvantages also include the unaesthetic appearance of the patch itself, as well as the case of getting wet under it, creating a risk of infection.

The earlier state of the art relates to proposing solutions regarding weight reduction and body correction in the sense of treating excessive obesity, which include the introduction of a micro needle with a loop-shaped end in one of the auricular points AP17, AP18, introducing them under the skin, with withdrawal at the other end needles, from another AP and fixing them using a micro needle stapler so that they remain on the points for a period of 60-360 days. Following the introduction and securing of the micro-needle in the AP (acupuncture point), the management (handling) of fat depots is started. Skilled handling includes a deep digital massage in the areas of fat depots lasting from 5 to 10 minutes.

Following the cessation (end of the massage), the acupuncture needle was introduced into the fatty tissue-fold zone. The needle is returned again by twisting around its axis in the same place, and the fatty tissue is injured, and after that the needle is pulled out with a sharp movement. The rest of the fat depot zones are treated in a similar way. The following fat depots were treated after a period of 10 to 60 days (RU 2233149).

The described method allows increasing the success of the treatment and preserving the achieved results, but it has a number of disadvantages, which include:

1. incomplete effect on the patient's auricular points

2. the lack of favorability is corrected step by step by the force of pressure in the direction of the reflexogenic effect

3. the future treatment of obesity depends on the degree of the disease, the time interval is longer and sometimes lasts several months, so when the known method is performed, the patient develops the so-called adaptive phenomena to the effect of micro needles.

Earlier solutions mostly relate to inventions in the subject matter using gold needles, and for some purposes it is mentioned that the needle is designed as a rod with a handle and a blunt end in the form of a loop at the joint. A paper clip in the form of a washer is placed on the free end of the needle loop (RU-26402).

The disadvantage of the known devices is that during the exploitation of the device, the part formed by hand in the form of a loop can be caught on hair, clothes, towels, etc. and thus may cause the device to be withdrawn from the zone in which it is placed and cause damage. When the needle has a small dimension, it can be the cause of skin injury with the subsequent development of scarring deformities on the tissue.

Furthermore, the construction of the needle does not allow to enhance the successful action of reducing body weight.

The essence of the invention

Considering the disadvantages mentioned above, the new method and variants of the construction of the needle device allow to develop a more successful reduction of excess body weight (treatment of obesity), as well as adequate corrections on the patient's body. The method, devices and needles ensure the achievement of the desired results, step by step by stimulating the auricular points of the patients, enhancing the additional reflexogenic effect in the patients, in order to increase the intensity of nerve impulses entering the hypothalamus as well as to overcome the phenomenon of adaptation of patients to the effect of micro needles; whereby the side effects were formed due to the prolongation (more than 60 days) of the presence of the needle in the treatment zone. This allows prolonging the time of the presence of the needle in the selected points and comparing the mentioned effect with the results of the treatment, avoiding at the same time changing the place of the needle to another shell, in reliable cases, and the proposed method includes the mentioned change of place as the introduction of needles into both auricles. According to the present invention, the confirmed result is achieved by the following combinations.

The method of reducing excessive body weight consists in the fact that the corresponding needle, which has a head of some volume at one end, plate-shaped or without such a shape, is provided in one of the auricular acupuncture points AP17, AP18 or auricular points indicated for neurosensory-humoral regulation hypothalamic- pituitary system and optimization of lipolytic mechanisms, and/or auricular points for education of adequate motivation of the patient related to food. By inserting the needle under the skin, the free end of the needle is withdrawn from the second indicated auricular point. Then a fastener having a plate or voluminous shape is provided at the free end of the needle. The desired level of reduction of excessive body weight is provided by the action on the zones of indicated auricular points with a gradual increase in the weight on the head and/or the fastener, and/or by changing the zone of their contact with the indicated auricular points, and/or with a progressive correlation of the intensity of action on those points.

The progressive correlation of the intensity of action on auricular points is performed by digital pressing or electric impulse, and/or magnetic, and/or acoustic, and/or photo, and/or micro and short-wave stimulation.

The effectiveness of the proposed method is in allowing the needle to be left in these points for up to 720 days.

According to the proposed method, the needle is introduced into the active auricle.

In the development of the patient's adaptation, the needle was withdrawn from the auricle and introduced into the other auricle.

Parallel introduction of the needle into both auricles is possible.

If the patient suffers from the so-called competing diseases, new needles are inserted daily or every ten days into the auricular acupuncture points indicated for those diseases.

The set of invention tasks can only be solved by the representations listed below. However, in certain cases, additional treatment of the patient's fat depot disclosed in relevant state-of-the-art documents is indicated.

Following the introduction of the needle into the patient's auricular point, the treatment of the patient's fat depot begins. At the end of that moment, the indicated depot is first divided into several zones, then each zone is sequentially treated with a deep digital massage in predetermined time intervals, for example, 10 to 60 days. Then the fat fold is fixed and an acupuncture needle is inserted into it. Then by repeatedly turning the needle around the axis, the adipose tissue is injured and the acupuncture needle is pulled out with a sharp movement along with the injured adipose tissue. Deep digital massage in fat depot zones includes massage of biologically active points located in the given zone. Massage is achieved by vibration, massaging or pressure.

The indicated massage is preferably performed for 5 to 10 minutes.

The acupuncture needle is introduced into the fat layer perpendicularly or at one corner of the fat depot of the superficial zone. A needle with a three-pronged tip can be inserted into the fatty layer.

In the proposed method, the technical result of a prolonged effect on acupuncture points was achieved due to the fact that acupuncture points were first topographically determined, one of which was selected as the needle insertion point, and the other as the needle exit point on the skin surface. Then puncturing those points by the method of connecting two points with a needle, using for example one needle that has a head and the free end of the needle is in the form of having a fastener.

In the variant where the head of the needle is missing, both terminal parts of the needle are curved in a shape to form a fastener from that and following exposure of the needle.

For example, points AP17 and AP18 were chosen as auricular acupuncture points.

The needle secured with a fastener is left in the auricular point for the time required for the therapy. A needle of the shape and current configuration for a given body and set of tasks is produced from a material that is biologically neutral for the patient, so that together with the displays described above, it provides the time to locate the needle at the point needed to treat or control a given symptom complex.

The current method can be used to act on any acupuncture point on both the skin of the auricle and the body as well as the mucous membranes of the patient.

As an example of treating obesity, acupuncture on points AP17, AP18 on the auricle (auricle) was considered. Following the determined topography of two points on the auricle, one of them is chosen as the entry point and the other is chosen as the exit point. The points are punctuated by tying them with a single needle.

In order to reliably secure the needle on the auricular skin, a permanent fastener was used. The permanent fastener is formed as follows. Following the withdrawal of the free end of the needle with the head from the surface of the skin, the end shown is stretched to form a fastener from it.

The advantage is that in the case of using body needles, the fastener can be achieved by spirally twisting one or both ends of the terminal needle, around the free part of the needle.

For auricular pins, each fastener can be achieved by spirally twisting a pin curved at the end to form a ball or at least one spiral turn.

The pin can be designed from a metal such as gold, silver, alloy steel or some other metal alloy. The needle can also be designed from polymer materials or combined from different materials.

The needle can be made of rubber, having a metal end.

The free end of the needle or the tip can be made of a metal alloy that provides a return to its original shape.

A needle for needle reflexotherapy (acupuncture reflexotherapy), especially auriculotherapy, consists of a rod with a head (in the first variant), designed as already mentioned, from a material that is biologically neutral for the patient.

According to another variant, the bar of such a needle does not have a head.

The whole rod or one of the two terminal parts thereof is made of a material having plastic characteristics to ensure the possibility of forming a fastener from the curved free ends or terminal parts of the rod.

One or both of the fasteners may be shaped like the curved ends of a pin on a rod. One or both fasteners may also be shaped in the form of a ball or at least one spiral bend.

The needle bar can be made of metal, eg gold, silver, alloy steel or some other metal alloy.

The same rod can be made of polymer material.

The needle bar can be made of a combination of different materials, for example the needle bar can be made of rubber with metal end(s) and the free ends of the bar or ends can be made of a metal alloy that is suitable to return to its original position (the so-called ''shape'' memory'').

The reflexotherapy needle according to another variant of the invention has a gently curved rod not less than 5 mm in length and not less than 0.08 mm in diameter provided with a head, and the free end of the rod made with the possibility of connecting a detachable fastener of at least 0.15 mm in height. The head of the rod can be made in the form of a round or irregular shaped plate, and the fastener can be shaped like a plate or round and weigh at least 0.01 gr.

The surface of the pin or fastener head may be shaped to be rough, eg with at least one point with blunt ends.

The fastener is shaped like a hook with a movable opening.

The voluminous round head can be designed with recess or monolithic.

The voluminous rod head and/or cap can be designed in the form of a spacious geometric body such as a ball, or cylinder, or cone.

The plate head of the needle and/or the cover can be designed in the form of a triangle or square, or polygonal, or circular.

The voluminous (round) or flat head and/or lid can also be shaped in the form of stylized flowers or hearts.

Heads and covers can also be designed in a suitable form to achieve the desired technical result.

The head can be mounted on the needle bar so that it can be detached.

The free end of the needle bar can be shaped sharply.

The bar line can be wavy shaped.

The rod line can be shaped with annular projections at certain distances.

The rod line can be shaped to form a polyhedron.

Cuts and folds can be formed on the surface of the bar line.

The line of the bar can be shaped so that it consists of conical bodies with their tips turned towards the free end of the bar.

The needle head may be connected to the detachable fastener via a protective adjustable flexible connection.

The needle is made of a material that is biologically neutral for the patient, such as gold, silver or a steel alloy.

The proposed shape of the needle provides a supplementary effect on the auricular acupuncture points, enhancing the therapeutic effect achieved by expanding the contact surface with the skin and weight, as well as acupressure of the points.

The described shape of the heads and flaps enables the improvement of not only the exploitation properties, but also creates conditions for improving the effects of pressure on the corporal and auricular points that are contacted.

This is especially manifested in different production variants of round heads and flaps, if the pressure on the auricular point is increased by the influence of the gravity vector, which also results in the effect of therapeutic pressure, and a greater flow of microimpulses enters the hypothalmus, for example, the hunger center is better blocked and the appetite is better suppressed and the effect of the lipolytic mechanism is deleted.

One of the problems of needle therapy consists in the fact that when using one needle, it cannot affect a greater number of points on the patient's body except for the one that is the entry point of the needle and which is the exit point of the needle, as well as the points located in the projection of the channel formed by the needle rod. . In order to improve the therapeutic effect achieved by placing the needles, additional effects are necessary in certain cases on acupuncture points and/or the creation of an anti-adaptive effect resulting from their effect on predetermined points, which eliminates the habit of such effects.

This habituation in needle therapy appears in terms of impulses flowing from the reflexogenic zone to the brain. With a certain time direction, the brain stops recognizing them and thus the therapeutic effect is interrupted.

It is also necessary to change the location of the needle at an interval of 1 month or more, after which some interval or rest from the effect is required.

In practice, at the moment of stopping the therapy, pathological symptoms associated with the worsening of the disease worsen the results of the treatment and slow down the growth of recovery.

The devices described in the following text were developed in order to expand the choice of proposed devices (needles), which would ensure the improvement of their exploitation properties, in particular the reliability of being held on the patient's body, for example on the auricle, as well as in order to increase the range of effects on distant auricular acupuncture points.

Acupuncture reflexology devices consist of acupuncture and acupressure members, the acupuncture member is formed from a needle rod, and the acupressure member is formed from a plate or voluminous body directly connected or detachably connected to one end of the rod and detachably connected to the other via a fastener.

A volumetric body can have a round, triangular, tetragonal or polygonal cross-section.

The line may be formed on the outer surface of the acupressure member of the device.

The needle bar can be designed in its contour wavy or zigzag.

The rod, connecting member and fixture fixture may be integrally formed as a single member.

At the point of integral connection of the rod with the connecting member, at least one spiral coil may be formed.

The desired technical result associated with the improvement of the device in terms of holding it on the patient's body is achieved in this invention through exposure of the device, and the free end of the needle is connected through a fastener shaped, for example, in the form of a hook to the connecting member or directly to the acupressure member, which is inseparable in its rotation connected end to end to the opposite end of said rod.

The needle bar located under the skin forms together with the channel formed by it the original joint and the acupressure member is capable of turning respectably on the axis of the joint by an angle of approximately 180 degrees.

Further rotation of the acupressure member is limited by the surface of the patient's body. At the same time, by using the proposed device, not only by introducing the needle and the exit point by pressing with one or more fingers, but also by using the points located on the projection of the channel and the remote points of the patient's body zone that are located in the reach zone of the acupuncture member, which is directly associated with achieving a technical result and extending the range of action to distant acupuncture points, thus achieving the result of enhancing the therapeutic effect.

In the end, the rod of the device does not necessarily have a straight line and another shape can be used, such as wavy or zigzag, in order to achieve the desired result. In order to simplify the design, the device members can be curved integral metal rods and the acupressure member can be designed in the form of a hook provided on the connecting member.

In order to improve the suitability of using the device at the place of the non-separable connection of the rod for the connecting member, the spring can be formed, for example, from at least one coil of a cylindrical spring.

As already mentioned, the volume or plate head and the fastener allow passive and active acupressure to be performed using additional pressure with the fingers of the hand during the treatment, not only in the needle entry and exit zones, but also in the canal zone where the rod is placed.

The patient performs the massage of the indicated zones with stereotyped movements, and the force effect and frequency parameters are described in the rhythm of the characteristics of the given person and which rhythm does not change. It is difficult to force an individual to perform arrhythmic movements because the human body lives according to a regulated rhythm.

The technical task to which this invention is directed consists in the development of the shape of the needle which, during the use of the needle, will ensure the possibility that due to voluntary non-rhythmic, unpredictable and chaotic movements, the effect of the needles is increased in comparison to the anti-adaptive effects.

The set and the proposed technical task were solved by the following combinations.

A needle for needle reflexology, in particular auriculotherapy, consists of a rod with a head, and at the free end it has a detachable fastener, where the head and fastener are in the form of a flap having a voluminous plate, or shape and in at least one of the suspension members with a light weight is provided on one or both of them.

In the presence of at least two or more suspension members in the form of small chains that have a similar or different length and respectively a small weight but similar or different and an adjustable shape that is flat or voluminous.

On the surface of the head and/or fastener, at least one tip can be shaped to improve the effect on selected body points or auricles.

The mentioned fastener can also be suitably shaped in the form of a flap with a movable opening.

The voluminous head of the bar and/or flap can be designed in the form of a spatial geometric body such as a small ball, cylinder, cone or polygonal body. They can be formed with recesses or monolithically.

The plate head and/or cover and/or small weight can be shaped in the shape of a triangle, quadrant, polygon or circle.

Different production forms of the folding head of the suspension member and light weight, which are suitable for achieving the indicated technical results, are also possible.

In order to improve the attachment and separation of suspension members with light weights, the head can be detachably attached to the needle bar.

As a rule, the free end of the needle bar is sharply shaped.

The described shapes of heads and flaps with suspension members allow creating conditions for improving the effect of pressure on corporal or auricular points in contact with them.

This is especially manifested in the creation of variants of heads, flaps and small weights provided on suspension members, which are volumetric and monolithic. The pressure on the auricular points is improved due to the effect of the gravity vector, which also affects the therapeutic effect, where a greater flow of microimpulses entering the hypothalamus appears, for example, blocking the hunger center and suppression of appetite is achieved better, and the effect on lipolytic mechanisms is also improved.

In head and/or body movements, suspension members with small weights form a system of chaotic fluctuation in amplitudes and frequencies describable as the law of random numbers.

Adaptation to these impulses, which are not subject to stereotypes, is impossible because the parameters vary.

As just explained, the achievement of technical results related to the anti-adaptive effects of the proposed device enables the acceleration of the treatment of pathological symptoms.

The shape of the small weights, the length of the suspensions, the number and disposition of them, were experimentally selected depending on many factors combined with the individual characteristics of the patient.

Description of images

The invention is described with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure 1 schematically shows a variant of the assembled needle, Figure 2 shows a cover in cross section, Figures 3-11 show certain variants of the head rods and needle covers, Figure 13 shows the auricle with the needle inserted, Figures 13 -15 show variants of needles with suspension members, figures 16-19 show variants of the device for acupuncture reflexotherapy, figure 20 shows the device from figure 18 (vertical view), figures 21-24 show variants of needles with a detachable fastener.

The needle shown in Fig. 1 is designed for insertion into the auricle (Fig. 12) and consists of a rod 1, at one end of which the head 2 is rigidly secured, and the other end of the rod is detachably connected to lock the shape of the securing cap 3, and where the movable opening 4 is shaped (Figure 2) to interact with the pointed end of the rod shown (fixed) in the surfaces.

For example, on the surface of the cover 3 one or more sharp tips can be formed with the aim of contacting a selected point on the body or auricle in order to improve the effects.

Various shapes of bar and head cover variants are possible and thus Figures 3-5 represent pins with a voluminous recess on a solid head and pin, cup or polygon shaped covers, respectively.

Figures 6 and 7 represent pins with heads and caps with plate shapes. Thus, Figure 6 shows a needle with a head and a cap in the shape of a stylized flat heart, and Figure 7 shows a needle in the form of a stylized flower and a circular cap.

The microneedle rod 1 can be 10 mm long and 0.6 mm in diameter.

The needle bar can be shaped softly and uniformly with an equal diameter along the entire length of the needle. The tip of the needle is slightly pointed. The needle is inserted into the center of the selected point and, in order to secure it in the auricle, it is fixed with a cover 3, which is placed on the side of the needle, i.e. the sharpened tip, at a depth of about 1 mm. The cap, 1.5 mm high and 2 mm in diameter, has a movable hole in the center 4 corresponding to the diameter of the needle bar (0.6 mm) and is formed from the same alloys as the bar alloys.

The cover securing device (not shown) is a device with dimensions corresponding to those of cover 3.

Like the cover, the head 2 is a specific application of the device variant and can be mounted on a rod with possible detachment. Thus, the needle is secured on the body or in the auricle at the entry point using the head and the exit point and using the cover so that the application of an adhesive patch is not required.

The needles shown in Figures 8-11 are characterized by the following parameters. The needle bar 1 may be 5-mm in length and may be 0.1-6mm in diameter. The needle is introduced into the center of the selected point and for security in the auricle (at the exit point) it is fixed with a cover 3 placed on the pointed end of the needle at a depth of about 1 mm. The 015-mm high cover is made of the same alloy as the rod and has a diameter of 0.2-20 mm with a so-called curtain or through an opening in the center of 4 corresponding needle rods, 0.1-6 mm in diameter.

In the smaller dimensions and weight of the needle including components, the reflexogenic effect will be insignificant, so the flow of impulses will not be observed from the neuroma of the hypothalamus and the therapeutic effect will be absent. Only the given parameters enable the preventive implementation of good placement of the needle, thus overcoming rejection of the needle.

The advantage of the proposed needle with a cap is possible as well as leaving it in the auricle for an extended period (30-720 days) which is necessary for effective correction of excessive body weight. The needle does not require continuous monitoring by the doctor and due to the manufactured forms of the head and fasteners, the probability of spontaneous withdrawal of the needle by the patient with the subsequent formation of scarring deformities is reduced, as well as wetting under the adhesive patch or inflammation are excluded.

The needle bar 1 can also have different shapes or lines and can be designed in a straight line, with a soft surface as shown in figure 1. Thus, figure 1 shows a needle with a bar having a wavy shape and figure 9 shows a needle, which is rectilinearly shaped with by the number of projections on the same, and with the same distance from each other. Figure 10 shows a needle with a rod consisting of conical projections whose tips are directed against the cap.

In order to prevent the loss of the detachable cover 3, the use of the head 2 is secured, for example, by the chain 6 (picture 8).

Figure 11 shows a needle with a bar surface that is shaped with notches.

As shown in Figure 13 on the example of the surface of the head 2 is a certain number of suspension members 7 of different lengths with small weights 8 having different shape and weight, can be provided on the surface of these suspension members, by forming several peaks (not shown) designed for contact in selected remote points or patient's auricles to ensure adequate effects.

Different variations of making the head of the weight bars and covers are possible. Different variants of securing suspension members are also possible. Thus, pictures 14 and 15 present needles with a volumetric or monolithic head and caps shaped like a ball on one, of which the suspension member with a small weight is provided on the cover 3, and on the other, on the head 2, there is respective security and cover 3.

Thus, for example, in the treatment of obesity, the needle is fixed in the entrance point of the patient's auricle AP17 using the head, and in the exit point AP 18 using the cap. Active pressure in point A55 (shen'-men) was performed simultaneously using a voluminous weight with a tip in order to improve the synthesis of endorphins in order to improve the psycho-emotional state of the patient.

In addition to the treatment of the main diseases, the design of the needle allows the treatment of competing diseases to be achieved without the use of additional accessories.

In the application of a variant of the device for acupuncture reflexotherapy, which is preferable in terms of simplicity (Fig. 16), and consists of a rod with a pointed end with respect to the needle number 9, a connecting member 10 and a fastener in the form of a hook 11 (and the device is shown disconnected in connections).

Fig. 17 shows the device from Fig. 16 with a connecting member of which the acupressure member is a cover in the form of a plate 12 and which is provided, and which plate has a rectangular cross-section and a soft surface, but making a plate with a cross-section of a different shape, e.g. oval, if possible.

The contour 13 in the form of ribs or pins can also be shaped including a longer lateral side through the sides.

Figure 18 shows an acupressure member designed in the form of a voluminous body 14 with rounded tips 15 chaotically or regularly distributed over its surface.

Figure 19 shows a device with a wave-shaped tip 16 with the purpose of stimulation located in the passage zone.

The spiral spring 17 can be formed at the point of connection of the connecting members with the end of the rod (Figure 16).

The device is made of any material that is biologically neutral for the patient, such as

for example gold, silver or steel alloy or silver alloy or durable plastic.

The device is used as follows.

The entry and exit points of the needle rod device are topographically determined, in the respective region of the patient's skin that has been disinfected, and the device is applied by passing the device rod through the entry point, e.g. AP17 and exit point AP18. While wearing the device (from 3 days to 6 months and more), the patient turns the acupressure member with his fingers to one side or the other (turning up to 180 degrees, as possible) and pressing, which results in the stimulation of points located in the accessible zone of the device , and enables both passive and active acupressure and respectively an additional therapeutic effect (Figure 20).

The invention is also explained by drawing, wherein figure 21 shows a variant of the needle with a fastener in the form of a rounded needle and a recess on the rod;

Figure 22 shows the needle in a variant with a fastener in the form of a stretched needle end.

Each of the needle variations shown in Figures 21 – 24 shaped e.g. for introduction into the auricle, consisting of a rod 1, at one end with a head 2 which is e.g. firmly secured, and the other end of the rod with the possible shaping of the same as a fastener in the form of a gripper 18.

One or more tips (not shown) may be formed on the surface of the head 2 and the fastener 18, and which tips are formed to contact selected points (point) on the patient's body and the auricle in order to enhance the effect.

Different variants of making the rod head and fasteners are possible. Thus, Figure 21 represents a needle with a volume recess or a monolithic head in the form of a ball 2,

where the fastener is in the form of a rounded end 18 and a recess on the rod 1. Figure 22 shows the head in the form of an annular member 19, and the fastener is shown in the form of a spiral turn 20 (forming, if possible, several spiral turns).

Figure 23 represents a needle with a head 2 having a plate shape, and a gripping fastener in the form of a ball.

In order to ensure the formation of fasteners from the free end of the needle rod, the entire rod or its terminal position (top) is made of material that has plastic properties, such as gold, silver, steel alloys.

It is also possible that not the entire rod, but only the terminal part of it, is made of a metal alloy that has the ability to return to its previous position, e.g. You Ni.

The variety of pins shown in Figure 24 is characterized by the fact that both terminal positions of rod 1 are made with the possibility of forming fasteners from them, e.g. in the form of one spiral turn at one end of the rod, and a knob 21 at the other end of the same.

The needle is inserted into the center of the selected point (entry point) and secured in the auricle (exit point) and is fixed by the stretched free part of the rod.

Forceps or other similar tools can serve as a form to form the fastener at the end of the needle.

In certain application variants, the head 2 can be fixed or mounted on the rod in such a way that it can be detached.

Thus, the needle is fixed to the body at the exit point of the auricle using a head or frame in the shape of the stretched end of the rod, and at the exit point using a fastener for hooking in the shape of the stretched end of the rod.

With the aim of achieving advantages, the mentioned varieties of needles are made of an alloy usable for making gold prestenes, and which alloy consists of 75% gold, 13% silver and 12% copper, but they can also be made of any material that is biologically neutral for the patient.

The advantage of the proposed needle with a non-detachable fastener consists in the possibility of leaving the needle in the auricle for a longer period (from 30 days to 36o days) and in certain cases up to 3 (three) years, which is needed, for example, to correct excessive body weight. The needle does not require permanent observation by the attending physician, and there is no possibility of voluntary withdrawal by the patient and traumatization by subsequent formation of scars as a result. Following the completion of the procedure, the needle tip(s) formed as a fastener(s) are cut off with forceps and the needle is withdrawn from the patient's skin.

The required technical result for the "method" in this subject is formed in three phases and the intensity increases in a cascade and pregressive manner in correlation with the physiological processes that appear in the histological area of needle puncture through the "suturing" method. Precisely at the moment of introducing the needle, the formation of the flow of the primary impulse is known. As a result of the immediate effect, just introducing the needle by "stitching", secondary impulse flows are formed which are strong, permanent and prolonged. The term "prolongation" refers in particular to supported processes, which occur in the histological area as a result of inserting a needle at the entry point and withdrawing it from the exit point. In known sources, the terms of common piercing and the processes associated with the primary effect are presented (in the article by Kokhanovich et al. – 2 days, in the book by Barashokova – several hours). In the proposed method of providing a therapeutic effect for 90 days, it is ensured without withdrawing the needle, or in the example of the treatment of excessive obesity - up to three years. These flows of secondary impulses from the reflexogenic zone are caused by physiological processes that occur in the tissues. Tissue processes are classified into three phases, and the impulses that occur at each step are subdivided in three ways.

Phase 1 - Epithelization of the acupuncture channel up to 30 days.

As a result of stitching two points with one needle, an acupuncture channel is created with two openings: an entry point and an exit point, and between them, a space formed by the needle. According to the laws of regeneration, the epithelization formation of the epithelization channel in the tissue around the needle begins. In the process of growth on the epithelium in the direction of gradual supported epithelization, cell receptors generate a strong flow of the first type of secondary impulses from the reflexogenic zone to the subcortical centers of the hypothalamus gland system, enhancing the therapeutic effect of the given exposure.

In particular, in the treatment of excessive obesity, inhibitory foci in the centers of the hypothalamus are generated faster and lipolytic mechanisms are activated, and as a sequence, a reduction in body weight appears, which is of greater intensity. In the treatment of arterial hypertension, afferent (moving from the periphery of the body to the central nervous system) impulses enhance the angiosuppressive effect in the vasomotor center of the hypothalamus, and the arterial pressure normalizes faster in the case of allergy treatment. In the case of treating allergies, the activity of antihistamine mechanisms, which control allergic reactions more quickly, is enhanced.

For patients with a longer history and established degree of disease who require longer exposure to acupuncture stimulation (from one month to several months), an important therapeutic effect is the exposure of selected points to the second order of pulses produced as a second step.

Phase 2 – acupuncture channel regeneration

By completing the epithelization of the acupuncture channel, the surface of the channel becomes covered with multi-layered squamous scar epithelium, the epidermis, the outer cell layer that gradually desquamates (peels off). Renewal of the epidermis is the appearance due to the deep layer of germ cells (see Borzyak E.I. "Human Anatomy" 2 volumes, Moscow, publisher

Medicine, 1987, page 469). This regenerative process of the epidermal cell is a powerful stimulator of external receptors, transforming stimulation energy into nerve impulses and determining a powerful flow of neurogenic afferent impulses into the cerebral nucleus (see "Human Anatomy" by Borzyak E.I., Volume II, Moscow Medicine Publisher, 1987, page 290).

According to the reflex theory, which is generally accepted in medicine, more impulses come from the periphery and more processes are represented in the central structure, i.e. ganglion nodes,

subcortical brain centers. Thus, the second row of secondary pulses promotes the strengthening of the therapeutic effect.

Phase 3 – intracanal extumation (ex-tumeo-spread/Latin)

By leaving the needle in the acupuncture channel for a period of 4 months or longer, desquamated epidermal cells, neutrophils and macrophages, and dead bacteria accumulated in the volume of the channel. In practice, in withdrawing the needle at this step, a whitish deposit can be seen, and sometimes this deposit in the form of a rod is spontaneously ejected by pressure on the outer wall of the canal. At the same time, the process is not inflammatory since it is not associated with hyperemia, pain, swelling and other signs of inflammation. This is a natural accumulation process of useful organelles, cells and other vital activity products of microorganisms. The aforementioned filling of the acupuncture channel with the vital activities of tissue structures creates pressure on the inner walls with the effect of expansion, and the longer the needle is in the channel, the greater the amount of content in the channel is formed, and the more pronounced the passive pushing impulse is. These impulses are classified as third order secondary impulses.

They promote the maintenance of the dominant formed first step as well as the enhancement of the therapeutic effect.

In the proposed invention, the needle exposure zone is not limited only by the thickness of the needle rod, as in the exposure zone, points are included, which are topographically located in the area of the needle passage, eg hypotensive recess (AP 105) (see example 2).

In the proposed variant, the ability to retain the needle is provided by a non-separable fastener, which secures the needle, but the needle is introduced at one point and exits at another point, thereby connecting two or more points, which are connected by a channel formed by the needle bar.

Examples of application of the invention

The following clinical examples of different nosologies (disease patterns) are presented to support the application of the attached method with a prolonged effect.

Example 1 Allergy treatment

Female patient 1, 23 years old, with a diagnosis of pollen allergy, turned to the doctor complaining of irritated eyes, sharp eye pain, rhinitis - inflammation of the nasal mucosa and cough. She was examined by an allergy specialist with the diagnosis: Acute vasomotor nasopharyngitis with a positive birch pollen allergy test.

The patient had a history of annual recurrences every spring. The effectiveness of antihistamine drugs was low, and they also caused drowsiness as well as contraindications that limited the patient's movement.

Objective: The patient's condition was satisfactory. Signs of conjunctivitis and

redness of the sclera (iris) and extensive discoloration of nasal secretions; the patient was constantly wiping her nose, which resulted in prolonged wetting and swelling of the nostrils, and she also had a dry cough.

The following treatment was carried out:

In the projection of the allergic channel (AP71 - redness points), two representative points are determined, one as the entry point of the needle and the other as the exit point, and in these points the needle is introduced by the joining method ("triding"), i.e. the needle is introduced through one point and withdrawn through another point on the surface of the skin, and this is secured by a head and fastener shaped in the form of the end of a free needle rounded into a coil. The needle was left for 60 days. Tests for 60 days showed the disappearance of inflammation with exudation, the absence of conjunctivitis and other signs of allergic reactions.

The needle was withdrawn by cutting the coiled end using pliers and pulling the other end, with the head, out of the canal.

Example 2 Treatment of essential hypertension

Female patient S. aged 45, complaining of high blood pressure, frequent headaches, shortness of breath and frequent crises of nausea and vomiting. Antihypertensive drugs were contraindicated due to polyvalent drug allergy.

Objective : medium ante-mortem condition.

Arterial pressure was 200/100 mm Hg and respiratory rate was 30 cycles per minute with a pulse of 90 per minute, and the lower extremities were numb. Ophthalmologist examination

he discovered changes in the fundus corresponding to the third stage of hypertension.

Diagnosis: Third stage of essential hypertension and 1-2 cardiovascular insufficiency.

The following treatment was performed:

In the auricular point AP105 (which is the point of lowering blood pressure) occupying the upper third of the rear auricular surface (sulcus), the two most representative points were determined, one as the input point of the needle and the other as the output point; and in those points the needle was introduced using the joining method, i.e. the needle is introduced through one and withdrawn through another point on the surface of the skin and this is secured by a fastener shaped to form a spiral turn from the free end of the needle. The needle was left for 90 days.

The examination after 90 days showed that the patient's condition is satisfactory, that

arterial blood pressure lowered to 160/90 mm Hg, pulse was 80 per minute, respiration was twenty cycles per minute, and stiffness of the extremities was significantly reduced.

Primer 3. Treatment lumbaga

Patient P., 48 years old, complained of sudden sharp pain in the lumbar region provoked by lifting weights. Objectively: there was a certain force in the back area and a certain tension in the lumbar muscles could be felt by palpation. There was an aggravation of punctures in the intervertebral ligaments. A spasm in the right was also seen

paravertebral muscle. A radiogram of the lumbar section of the spine with signs showed

signs of spondylosis of the lumbar vertebrae 1 – 11.

The following treatment was performed:

The corporate points V22 (san'-tszyao-shu) and V51 (khuan'-men') were topographically determined to the right of the spinal processes and the needle was introduced into point V22, connecting and point 51 was the exit point further, the fastener was used at the end needles with rounded ends. The needle was inserted for two days.

The test was conducted in two days. Objectively, pain syndromes disappeared and palpation of L 1-11 was painless and lumbago was cured.

In the treatment of obesity, it is possible to use different needles with bar shapes that

they allow to increase the effectiveness of the action on the auricular points indicated for the neurosensory regulation of the hypothalamic gland system and for the optimization of lipolytic mechanisms. Punctuation of adrenal representative points located in the projection zone of the needle, and active pressure limits the synthesis of catecholomins, which are counterinsular hormones and cause blood sugar (deposited in the form of glycogen) to increase in levels that are accepted by hypothalamic chemoreceptors and inhibit the activity of the appetite center.

Furthermore, catecholamines enhance lipid catabolism, which is the lipolytic mechanism(s) important for reducing excess body weight.

By affecting the auricular acupressure point, using the proposed shape of the needle, it is possible to perform both passive and active acupressure in these points, with the aim of increasing the reflexogenic zonal stimulation in order to prevent adaptation that is the opposite of the analogue indicated by the transfer of the needle to the other auricle only with partial effect and for a short time. The fact is that the needle is moved to an already inactive auricle, affecting the degree of this effect and not providing adequate intensity.

Since the treatment of obesity requires a long period, adaptation to the reflexogenic effect can be overcome by subjecting the zones of acupuncture points to additional stimulation with devices, using known physical factors. Said factors

include not only digital pressure but also short waves (meaning so-called "KVCh" or "Yav"

devices), microwaves (so-called "Porog" devices), lasers (so-called "UZOR" devices), electromagnetic (so-called "AMRT" devices), thermal (with warm wood) and other therapies.

Also, due to the proposed method and shape of the needle, the possibility of procedure after procedure of corrective force appears, and the orientation of the reflector effect by selection, especially by substitution of the head and / or fasteners and / or rod of the needle with a slightly recessed shape and a heavier monolithic shape or those supplied with suspension with weights and substitution plate-shaped to those that are voluminous. Also, by substituting those that have a surface with those with an irregular surface, leaving them for a period of 60-720 days and being guided by objective data such as the reduction of body volume and weight and subjective data such as the degree of appetite blockage in the patient as well as needle exposure, applying an individual approach further, similarity to the most relevant document from the state of the art using one needle simultaneously for two auricular points and securing it with a stiffener, allowing the needle to be left for a long period simultaneously in two points, and enabling the blocking of the hunger center as well as the elaboration of the food reflex, taking into consideration individual characteristics of the patient, which reduces traumatization and possible infection.

Weight reduction and body correction are also combined.

Using deep digital massage in fat depot zones improves local

circulation, optimizes lymph flow, reduces swelling and tension in tissues and generally relieves the patient of stress and relaxes him. The additional use of massage of biologically active points enables the strengthening of the effect due to both, local effects resulting from the effect in the points as well as general effects associated with parts of the central nervous system.

The use of acupuncture needles in fat depots with the destruction of adipose tissues

it increases the effectiveness of the therapy and enables correction of the body, at the same time reducing the number

areas of effect of fat depots. And the use of a three-pointed needle increases the effectiveness of the treatment,

especially in a patient with high-grade obesity.

The therapy of competing diseases makes it possible to increase the efficiency of obesity treatment.

The method is implemented as follows:

First, the auricle for inserting the needle is determined. Either auricle can be treated as the first. In a certain number of cases of long-term obesity and history of treatment

when using different reflex therapies, it is advisable to start from an active auricle.

Two auricular points, e.g. AP 17 and AP 18, were found on the selected auricle. Needle

with the head at one end is introduced into the point, after which the needle is pulled out at the other point by connecting under the skin. The needle inserted into the auricular point in this way is secured with a fastener, and depending on the stage of thickness and condition of the patient and the necessary weight reduction, it is left for 60-720 days. A gold alloy needle can be used, as well as silver, steel needles or needles made of any material that is biologically neutral for the patient.

The therapy is carried out with a needle with a flat plate and replacing the needles with heavier and more voluminous needles, simultaneously using the additional effect of a rough surface or having a surface equipped with tips or with a stiffener, enabling the strengthening of the effect on selected auricular points by periodic pressure with the fingers.

Thus, for a period of 45 - 60 days, the weight reduction time slows down, and during that period, the treatment that follows as the second step is provided, and the flat needle head is replaced by a voluminous insert and the appearance of appetite is treated with digital or devices with stimulation, for example by mechanical pressure on needle head which is recommended.

In the next 45 – 60 days, during the next treatment step, the flat plate fastener for the indentation is replaced, and at the same time the so-called corpometric control is carried out.

Then, in a certain period of 45-60 days, the head and/or fastener is replaced with a monolithic one.

This follows from the foregoing as a step-by-step aggravation of the needle whereby the gravity vector on the head and/or attachment, as well as a step-by-step substitution of a flat head and/or attachment for a voluminous head and attachment including the same, are shaped on the acupressure surface to belong passive stimulation of the auricular point.

Active stimulation (acupressure) is achieved by digital pressure on the voluminous elements of the needle (head and/or fastener) located in the projection of the auricular points from the patient himself, and as a result, by introducing microimpulses from the receptors in the hypothalamus, improving results and increasing inhibition dominantly in the hunger center as well as in central lipolytic mechanisms and optimizing lipid metabolism.

As a result of applying the proposed method, a weight reduction of 4 to 10-20 kg is achieved, depending on the initial excess weight.

In case the patient has competing diseases, additional insertion of needles into selected acupuncture points is considered. At the same time, needles in auricular points intended for the treatment of competing diseases are introduced daily or every other day using 8 to 10 procedures.

Following the introduction and securing of needles in selected auricular points on the first step, it is possible to achieve an additional effect on fat deposits located in different regions of the body. Patients, especially men, with fat depots on the abdomen are more often taken into account. In a certain number of cases, fat depots can be located simultaneously in several regions, for example the abdomen, back, etc. Women are more often concerned about excessive fat deposits on the neck, extremities and stomach.

One of the fat depots, which is the most common and predominant in patients, is the first to be affected. It affects fat depots that can be located on the abdomen, chest, neck, face, extremities, etc. During one procedure, one fat depot is subjected to influence. Extensive fat depots, such as stomach depots, are divided into several zones and treated sequentially by zone.

One of the zones of the selected fat depots is subjected to the action first. First, with a deep digital massage, and in addition with biologically active points (BAP) located in the given zone, and also with a possible effect through digital massage or massage procedures such as vibrations or pressing. The total time of the massage is 5-10 minutes. This enables significant improvement of local blood circulation, optimizes lymph flow, reduces swelling and tension in tissues, and thus achieves a positive effect on lipid metabolism and improves its normalization. The massage also ensures general relaxation of the patient and relief from stress, and prepares the zone to be subjected to the effect of acupuncture with a three-sided needle.

Then the fat depot is subjected to the introduction of acupuncture needles. There, the layer of fat is fixed with one hand, and with the other hand, the acupuncture needle is repeatedly and frequently introduced into that layer, turning around the axis; the adipose tissue is injured and the needle is pulled out of the adipose tissue with a sharp movement. In the case of obesity of a significant degree, an acupuncture needle that is three-edged can be introduced. Depending on the location of the layer, the needle can be inserted perpendicularly into the treated surface or at an angle. All zones of the selected fat depot are treated during one procedure.

The next fat depot is subjected to a treatment of 10-60 days. This period between the effects on fat depots depends on the patient's condition, the degree of obesity and the number of fat depots, as well as the desired weight reduction during the procedure.

When performing the proposed method, the patient notices significant blockages of appetite and thirst, overcoming the symptoms associated with the entry of lipolysis products and acetone bodies, causing headaches, ketonemia and acetonemia, into the blood, compared to known methods (see the most relevant state-of-the-art documents).

This fact is explained by the greater flow of impulses entering the hypothalamus due to the proposed method, which results in a significant reduction of autonomic deficiencies that appear in cascades, in the known method.

The lack of the possibility of symptomatic correction of the reflexogenic effect and the direction of the known method (see the most relevant state-of-the-art documents) is solved according to the proposed method by selectively improving pressure on the point of thirst or hunger, using a flat or voluminous head and/or an attachment to one or another zone depending on the objective or subjective condition of the patient.

Due to the proposed method, in a more intensive method of losing weight, the patient maintains a better state of health, working abilities and a more suitable psychoemotional state.

The application of the methods is supported by the following clinical examples.

First 4

Female patient V., 48 years old, and starting with her second birth, complains of constant weight gain, knee pain, swelling, shortness of breath and discomfort in the heart region.

The patient has a history of weight gain over a period of 23 years, and attempts to reduce weight have produced virtually no results. An unstable weight loss of 10 kg has been observed using Tai tablets, anorexic drugs with subsequent nutritional effects, but with a return of weight that is greater than before.

Satisfactory conditions, usually skin color and cleanliness are observed. The patient is overweight and has excessive fat deposits with a predominant gluteofemoral localization of fat deposits. The height of the patient is 150 cm and the weight is 90 kg.

BWI was 40 conditional units, which corresponds to the third degree of obesity.

ECG: sinus rhythm, tachycardia, horizontal position of the heart artery, pathological Q wave that does not correspond to AVF and disappears during inhalation. T wave was observed and blood pressure was 160/100 mmHG, pulse was 98/min and respiratory rate was 28/min.

The proposed method was performed and the auricular points were determined, and the needle was introduced into point AP17, the end was taken to AP18, and the needle has a plate-shaped head. After 45 days, the weight was 75 kg and the reduction in body weight was 15 kg. The general condition improved, and swelling of the lower extremities disappeared, while an increased appetite was subjectively noted. During the procedure, the plate needle was replaced with a voluminous one. Due to passive acupressure, the adjustment was bridged in three days, and the patient reported a decrease in appetite.

After 60 days, the weight reduction was 12 kg, making the weight 63 kg, and with objective data such as the disappearance of shortness of breath, the respiratory rate is 20/min, and the blood pressure is 120/80 mmHG, the pulse is 80/min. Subjectively, the patient noticed an increase in thirst as a background to a better state of health through the consumption of two liters per day. At that point in the procedure, the stiffener was replaced with a volume ball at the thirst point, AP18. Active acupressure for 30 seconds is recommended in case of thirst. Adjustment of point AP18 is bridged in 24 hours.

The next examination at 55 days showed a weight reduction of 10 kg and the patient was in a satisfactory condition, the skin was clean, acrocyanosis disappeared, and the ECG parameters were normalized. Subjective signs were as follows, the head and the fixator were aspirated into the gastroregion. In needle therapy, the head and fastener are replaced by a flat one.? Digital pressure of the head and/or lid is prescribed for excessive salivation and discomfort in the epigastric area until the symptoms disappear.

After 58 days the weight loss was another 13 kg and the total weight lost was 40 kg. Corpometric data were as follows: height 150 cm, weight 50 kg, body weight index or so-called Kettle index, BWI = m/LxL (m) = 50/2.25 = 22.2 conditional units, which corresponds to normal body weight (BWI parameter of 18.5 – 24.9 conditional units – normal range). Objective data were clean skin and cyanosis of the nasolabial triangle was absent. Pulse is 72/min, respiration 18/min, ECG – sinus rhythm, normal position of the heart artery, disappearance of pathological Q waves, according to ultrasonographic data, ventricular hypertrophy has disappeared. By using the so-called LOBBY technique, stress and internal discomfort were reduced and a harmonious type of attitude towards the disease was observed, which was also a sign of healing in the psycho-emotional sphere, self-confidence, expanding the circle of interests as well as ease in interpersonal relations.

Improvement in mood and work ability were subjectively noted.

First 5

Female patient A., 35 years old, admitted to the clinic for the treatment of overweight using the "ORIGITEA" method according to the present invention.

Height 170 cm, weight 95 kg. The procedure according to the standard prescription was performed and resulted in weight reduction down to 90 kg.

One and a half months later, the patient noted a certain increase in appetite. The procedure for amplifying the afferent impulses sent from the reflexogenic zone on the auricle was performed. The impulse flow was generated using the "Delta 101" device, and the terminals for connecting the wires were directly connected to the needle (cathode) and the zone of the center of the lateral tragus (anode). Electrical stimulation lasted 20 min, 3 days, successively. The range and frequency of the impulses were chosen until a different sensitivity that was not painful appeared, and the vibration and their frequency were 80 – 100 Hz and the current strength was 2 – 8 mA.

The patient's condition improved, as his appetite decreased and his mood improved. A month later, her weight had decreased by 4 kg and was 86 kg. The patient reported discomfort in the epigastric region. The patient was objectively diagnosed with chronic gastritis. Adjusting the action of the needle in points AP17, AP18 which are connected to the vagus nerve, was the triggering factor and blocked the gastric juice and pancreatic juice secretion. Due to the history of chronic gastritis and the loss of blocking effect on forward indicated points, the secretion of gastric mucosa increased and discomfort arose.

The patient is exposed to an enhanced magnetic field with a frequency of 13.56 Mhz using the IKV - 4'' device. An inductor with a diameter of 6 cm and a voltage of 30 W with an opening of 1 cm from the patient's tragus was positioned and the procedure time was 20 minutes. The entire procedure consisted of five procedures.

The objective data were as follows: the patient's condition was satisfactory and she did not complain of epigastric discomfort.

Patient A successfully continued the therapy and one month later there was a decrease of 7 kg and the weight was 79 kg.

The patient complained of a sharp increase in spontaneous salivation that was provoked by food. The given symptoms were manifested by adapting the syndrome according to the reflexogenic effect.

Laser radiation was used. The voltage flow was up to 75 mWt/cm 2 , and oscillations in the wavelength of 0.63 micrometers. The fields were exposed to irradiation in the area of puncture in the auricular tragus points for 10 minutes with a mode of 4 mWt/cm2 using the "UZOR" apparatus. Two procedures are carried out every other day.

The patient stopped complaining of salivation immediately after the second procedure. One and a half months later, her weight decreased by 6 kg and was 74 kg.

Patient A was concerned about increased appetite. Five short-wave frequency procedures were performed using the "KVCh - ND" device in mode 7.1; 5.6; 7.1; 5.6; 5.6 every other day.

The patient felt a normal level of appetite again.

One and a half months later, the patient's weight was 69 kg. The ideal body weight is achieved with a height of 170 cm.
