Ailing conditions in the depth of texture give such signs as paresthesia, temperature's change, circulatory disorders, muscle contraction, etc. to cuticles through the viscerocutaneous reflex based on the reflex-theory of Dr. Head and Dr. Mackenzie; also, a galvanometry can prove the decrease in galvanic skin resistance (this points is called Galvanic Skin Reflex Points (G. S. R.), which are used in diagnosis and therapy as well-known.)
When we do an infiltration injection of local anesthetic agent (1% carbocaine 0.1cc.) at above G. S. R. points, there is found therapeutic significance in the viscerocutaneous reflex coupled with non-depolarizing effect. The therapy is especially useful in painsymptom diseases having trigger mechanism.
During the year of 1968 this treatment with the introcutaneous injection was experimented on 41 cases, and as the result we found evident signs of improvement in about a half of the cases, i. e. 21. For the remaining 20 cases, it has been presumed that their inconspicuous results may necessitate further study on the pain-spots or the depth of trigger-points.
