Filiform needles offer advantages over traditional fire needles, featuring a simpler production process and faster heating times. These findings suggest filiform needles are a superior alternative for acupuncture pricking.

Area of Science:

  • Traditional Chinese Medicine
  • Acupuncture Techniques
  • Medical Device Innovation

Context:

  • Fire needle therapy is a traditional acupuncture technique.
  • Existing fire needles vary in thickness and design.
  • Filiform needles represent a novel approach to fire needle therapy.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of filiform needles as an alternative to common fire needles.
  • To compare the heating time and production process of filiform needles versus traditional fire needles.
  • To determine if filiform needles can replace common fire needles.

Summary:

  • Filiform needles (single and three-needle configurations) demonstrated significantly shorter heating times compared to four common fire needle types (P < 0.01).
  • Evaluation by 20 medical staff indicated filiform needles excel in production, materials, and heating efficiency.
