  • 435 Accesses

Abstract

Basic and clinical research on high-tech acupuncture has been performed at the Research Unit of Biomedical Engineering in Anesthesia and Intensive Care Medicine and the TCM Research Center at the Medical University of Graz in cooperation with partners in Asia since 1997. This book chapter focuses on the latest innovative aspects that underline the further enhancement and development of acupuncture. Special emphasis is given to totally new methodological and technical investigations, e.g. results obtained from teleacupuncture and violet as well as yellow laser acupuncture. In addition a summary and recent result of auricular medicine including auricular acupuncture will be reported briefly.
