Main Article Content
Abstract
Autism and ADHD are related to brain
abnormality. Many studies show that scalp
acupuncture is effective in treating neurological
problems related to autism and ADHD. New study
has found impairments in white matter in the
main neural pathway connecting the right and left
hemispheres of the brain in children with both
autism and ADHD. The more we learn and know
about brain functions, the more we can incorporate
this knowledge into our clinical practice of scalp
acupuncture. Needling scalp acupuncture on
children with autistic and ADHD patients is very
different from doing it with adult patients. This
paper shares our clinical experiences and
techniques on how to practice scalp acupuncture
using various scalp acupuncture systems and the
Neoh Scalp acupuncture system on autistic and
ADHD patients.
