Long-term experience of acupuncture applications at 9 specialized cent
ers, and analysis of over 30,000 cases have allowed development of ori
ginal algorithms for prescribing acupuncture therapy on the principles
of ''energetic'' balance of meridians, functional indicators and spec
ific effects of acupoints, anatomical location, segmental sensory inne
rvation of pathological foci, and optimal combination of the corporeal
acupoints with the microacupuncture systems. This served as the basis
for the creation of computer software to increase the efficiency of a
cupuncture treatment used by a wide range of practitioners.
