    Summary

    This study names acupuncture points on the upper limbs based on brachial plexus anatomy. It follows previous papers naming head and neck points using nerve and muscle structures.

    Area of Science:

    • Anatomy
    • Acupuncture
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • This is the third paper in a series of six aiming to standardize acupuncture point nomenclature.
    • Previous publications have established naming conventions for acupuncture points in the head and neck based on anatomical structures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe and name acupuncture points on the upper limbs.
    • To apply anatomical nomenclature, specifically terminal branches of the brachial plexus, for naming these points.

    Main Methods:

    • Systematic anatomical description of acupuncture points on the upper limbs.
    • Correlation of point locations with terminal branches of the brachial plexus.

    Main Results:

    • Acupuncture points on the upper limbs are systematically named according to the terminal branches of the brachial plexus.
    • This nomenclature provides a consistent anatomical basis for identifying upper limb acupuncture points.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed nomenclature for upper limb acupuncture points, based on brachial plexus anatomy, enhances anatomical accuracy.
    • This systematic approach contributes to a standardized system for acupuncture point identification across the body.
