Abstract: 75 patients with shoulder pain and 65 patients with low back pain were treated in two prospective randomized and simplecrossed double-blind studies.The classifications were group T for typical acupuncture and group A for atypical acupuncture respectively. Patients of group A were subsequently treated with typical acupuncture (group TnA). The structure of the studies, results of pain measurements and orthopedic examinations are reported.The difference in improvement between typically and atypically treated patients was highly significant for both diagnostic groups (p<0.0001). Improvement in group TnA was also highly significant for both diagnostic groups (P<0.007).The orthopedic examinations gave significantly better results for typical segmentrelated acupuncture than for segmental acupuncture without using triggerpoints.
