Workshop 3
‘VERY POINT’ THERAPY COMBINING POINTS OF VARIOUS MICROSYSTEMS, ESPECIALLY ORAL
ACUPUNCTURE

Irmgard Simma-Kletschka, Complementary and Alternative Medicine in Dentistry, Bregenz, Austria
In the mouth, a system of very effective acupuncture points is to be found in the mucous membranes. These points
act as reflex points in modern pain therapy. Mucosa points, in a state of irritation, have a high degree of sensitivity
and therapy of these points proves highly effective.
They are divided into vestibulum and retromolar points. Vestibulum points show the interactive relationship between
teeth – odontoma – meridians and corresponding organs and systems of all five functional circuits.
The five functional circuits are represented eight times in the oral somatotope.
From the retromolar area in particular, immediate muscle relaxation of the cervical and chewing muscles can be
achieved.
Mouth acupuncture restores to normal the malfunctioning systems of the entire body.
The effects take place immediately – especially with muscles and joint problems, mobility of the cervical spine, etc.
Oral acupuncture is a regulatory therapy: remote effects are predictable.
The exact localisation of the point is necessary – “Very Point”.
In the peri-oral area corresponding points to the vestibulum points can be found in a state of irritation.
Microsystempoints (YNSA, Lymphbelt, etc.) use the relaxing, sedative, local circulatory incease and analgetic
effects as known in acupuncture.
In Clinical studies mouth and microsystem acupuncture points have proved to be very effective, especially in
patients with cervical and craniomandibular disorders.
Examinations analysis and therapeutic records and study-designs will be presented.
Workshop 4
NEURAL THERAPY IN PRIMARY PAIN CARE
Kurt Gold-Szklarski
Austrian Medical Association of Neuraltherapy, Vienna, Austria
In order to avoid the developement of chronic pain syndroms, malfunction of the locomotor system and pain are
to be treated as soon as possible. An appropriate technique should be easy to apply, harmless, cheap and requiring
little equipment. As NT satisfies all these claims and in addition guarantees to be without side-effects even when
combined with any other method, it lends itself ideally for primary pain care.
THE IMPACT OF NEURALTHERAPY IN IN- AND OUTPATIENT PAINTHERAPY

The introduction of potent painkillers with new formulations of transdermal, intrathecal, transmucosal as well as
oral fast resorption and slow release preparations, changed the approach to pain treatment in many aspects. Besides
the development of new minimal invasive procedures such as ozonenucleolysis, high frequency and pulsed neurolysis
as well, opened innovative possibilities for pain treatment with specific impact in low back pain. On the other hand,
cure by means of trigger point injections of local anaesthetics has still clinical importance in treatment and diagnosis
respectively. An analysis of outpatients treated in one year (2007) in our pain ambulance showed a still remarkable
quantity of treatments which in general may be determined as neural therapy. Although the majority (92,3%) of
patients received pharmacologic treatment by means of oral or transdermal medication the second frequent treatment
was trigger point injection and/or repeated nerve block or regional block (66,6%) for treatment or diagnosis as well.
In 28% of the patients invasive methods such as ozon nucleolysis, or high frequency neurolytic blocks where
performed. In 18,8% of the patients surgical procedures such as implantations of devices for intrathecal drug
application spinal cord stimulation or subcutaneous stimulation had been used for pain treatment. The data show
clearly that patients suffering on chronic pain need individual approaches such as combinations of pharmacological
and invasive methods as well. When looking at the distribution of methods used in a standard pain ambulance, neural
therapy is still the second important way of standardised treatments in chronic pain.
