Abstract
The early 1970s saw the development of scalp acupuncture on a basis of empirical research in China. First of all the indications were limited to paralysis, tremor and paresthesia; further indications have since been added. In scalp acupuncture areas which correspond to the location of the important brain areas are needled, e.g., gyrus precentralis or postcentralis. Initially 15 specific areas of the scalp were described.
