Kessler, Jens; Streitberger, Konrad (2008). Perforation of the median nerve with an acupuncture needle guided by ultrasound. Acupuncture in medicine, 26(4), pp. 231-3. London: BMJ Publishing Group 10.1136/aim.26.4.231
Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)In an experiment on one of the authors, we used ultrasound to visualise an acupuncture needle completely perforating the median nerve at the acupuncture point PC6. During this procedure only a slight sensation occurred, and no pain. We conclude that, in individual cases, the median nerve might be perforated without causing pain or neurological problems.
