AFTER-TREATMENT OF ACCIDENTS

•    A study by Rabl V (article in German) entitled "The effect of standardized acupuncture programs in the after-care of accident patients" published in Unfallchirurgie 1983 Dec;9(6):308-13 involved 153 patients suffering from pain, edematous conditions, and impaired movement following traumas sustained in accidents who were treated or after-treated with acupuncture.  The study found that acupuncture proved itself to be an effective form of therapy for after-treatment of accident patients, presenting a valuable supplement to the field of rehabilitation, especially when combined with other physical therapeutic measures.
