Abstract

Nine patients were treated for trigger finger of the 3rd, 4th and 5th fingers at the Ahshi points near the distal portion of the Pericardium and Heart meridians. The author states that fingers 3 and 5 are closely associated with Voll's Circulation meridian 8A and Heart meridian 8A therapeutic and electrodiagnostic points. Six patients improved significantly; two failed to respond, one of whom suffered from concomitant rheumatoid arthritis.
