Acupuncture at Yintang decreases pre-op anxiety

A Turkish research team has found that a single session of acupuncture at Yintang (M-HN-3) can reduce preoperative anxiety in adult surgical patients. The study comprised 52 adult surgical patients who received a single 20-minute session of acupuncture with an ear-press needle at either Yintang (M-HN-3) or a sham point. Anxiety decreased significantly after acupuncture in the study group, while no change was observed in the sham group. (Acupuncture on Yintang Point Decreases Preoperative Anxiety.
