[Analysis on the atypical clinical accidents of acupuncture based on the individual factors in patients].

The hidden risk of acupuncture has become the factor of the high incidence of adverse reaction of acupuncture in clinical practice. The retrospective analysis and the typical cases analysis are especially important for the prevention from the hidden risk of acupuncture. In the paper, the relevant literatures were reviewed, the basic diseases were listed such as diabetes, hypertension and digestive gastric ulcer that were neglected by the physicians, and the adverse reactions induced by the therapeutic history and the body constitutions were analyzed. It was stated in the paper that because of the individual factors of patient, the risks of the atypical clinical accidents of acupuncture were extremely serious and easily neglected by the clinical acupuncture physicians. It is very necessary to remind the clinical acupuncture physicians to understand the basic diseases, basic treatment as well as the peculiarity of body constitution of the patients besides their chief complaints. Moreover, acupuncture should be applied very carefully after identifying the pulse condition and the contraindication so as to ensure the patient's safety and obtain the optimal efficacy.
