Abstract
Introduction
Many taxi drivers always complain of fatigue. We examined the process of their weekly recovery from fatigue under acupuncture.
Method.
Fifty taxi drivers were divided into two groups. The A-group had posttraumatic neck syndrome and the B-group had no identifiable problems. Acupuncture was given to both groups for two weeks. Subsequently, a questionaire containing 116 matters points of discussion was given to them to complete.
Effect
From the beginning, the A-group always showed highly subjective symptoms. It was higher than the B-group. Two weeks later, their subjective symptoms were cut by half in both the groups.
Conclusion
It was clarified that acupuncture was very effective against fatigue.
