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.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.
