[The treatment of occupational fluorosis by acupuncture reflexotherapy]

Gofman SS.

The article contains the electrodiagnostic data on 26 auricular points in 24 fluorosis-affected patients. It was established that the greatest electrical polarity asymmetry was found in points 13, 25, 28, 31, 54, 37, 39 and 40. Palpation of the auricular and corporal points also showed unfavorable conditions in the respective painful point of the organ. Basing on the results of the acupuncture procedures, needle therapies of 80 occupational fluorosis cases were performed. The therapeutic patterns elaborated by the author were also proposed, which proved perfect results at different stages of the disease.
