抄録

Since several years ago, “minute metalic sphere therapy”has been adopted as one of the suplemental method in our pain clinc.
From the empirical observation, the effect of this therapy has been widely and definately recognized by both doctors and patients. In this paper, statistical results of clinical cases were presented.
More than 400 volunteers who have any painful complain were examined.
As the result, more than 80% of the total cases stated that metalic sphere was effective for various painful conditions.
Placebo test using mere adhesive plaster was also performed, which revealed that the effect was originated from minute sphere itself.
Additionaly, the adequate size and material of the sphere were examined to increase the efficiency.
The side effect of itching due to adhesive plaster was removed by switching it to the nonirritative plaster.
