Abstract
MMPI test was carried out with outpatients with chief complaints of pains. They were divided into two groups of more easily suggestible character and of less easily suggestible character, in terms of the records thus obtained.
Five patients were then selected from the two groups, respectively to whom acupuncture and moxibustion were applied. The results were analyzed and evaluated against the clinical results.
As a result, it was confirmed that the removal of pains through acupuncture was not based on any suggestions.
