The question of learning Chinese deserves attention because it may be more feasible and more beneficial than has hitherto been thought.

More time is devoted to it in OM than PT trainings, and the scope of practice for EA is taught as much wider in OM than PT, with a corresponding emphasis on a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) approach in the former, and trigger point (TrP) stimulation in the latter (using noninvasive methods). It tends to be taught as more effective than MA for pain, neuropathy, paralysis and addiction. Least agreement appears to be in the area of treatment parameters to be used, and their effects.

They are the two characteristic patterns of exterior manifestations of internal imbalances of yı&#x0304;n and yáng. Clinically, only after a clear differentiation of the cold or hot nature of a disease or pattern can there be a correct treatment that follows with satisfactory curative results. However, in clinical realities, neither cold nor heat patterns typically manifest externally through classical patterns and signs. For instance, if the symptoms of cold or heat are not obvious externally, or they are not substantial enough to be included in [the diagnosis of] the true nature of the illness, or, even more frequently, if the actual pattern manifests itself externally with a false ‘mask’, all these are frequent causes for mistakes in pattern identification. The focus of this paper is to analyze the causes for such mistakes in cold and heat pattern identification. This paper addresses three main causes of such problems. First is the rather easily confused relationship between the manifestations, on the one hand, and the patterns, on the other hand, of cold and heat. Second is the unclear understanding and poor grasp of the concepts and clinical manifestations of cold and heat patterns. Third is non-discrimination of the complex interrelationships between cold patterns and heat patterns, particularly with respect to so-called true and false cold and heat. Below is a close examination of these three causes of these problems in diagnosis.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100265,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine","volume":"2 2","pages":"Pages 102-110"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1054/caom.2001.0082","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79574612","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
