PARTICIPANT'S COMMENTS

Loved the notes.
-Would like to hear about Mr. Mukaino’s understanding of why these methods work.
-Would have liked some time spent on needling methods Mr. Mukaino uses.
-Otherwise, loved the class & the presentation & handouts.
-I believe I will use this method in the long term.
Thank you Sensei!
Mukaino – sensei
Thank you for the informative lecture. I appreciate the way you have broken it down into 4-steps.
In my practice, I use more of a mirror imaging or corresponding channel to determine which points to use and I can see incorporating this too - another useful tool.

Thank you so much for coming and presenting. It has helped immensely to have a small set of points to start with on the initial selection.
The handouts and hands-on assistance was a great help to clarify movements and selections.
Thank you for your patience and extra explanations.
Your assistants were a great help.
Thank you for helping with treatment options where traditional basic methods don’t create a huge shift in pain and movement.
I hope you will be able to come back to teach us more.

This course was very well conducted. There was ample time to observe methods demonstration and practice on each other. Observing live treatment very useful review of case from clinic very good.
Thank you Mukaino-san for a wonderful seminar. I enjoyed its practical applications, ease of point selection, and your clear, easy to understand explanations. The handouts you gave were very helpful, and the M-test booklet, also. I don’t have any areas of improvement as a suggestion, but there are some characteristics of this system that may be difficult to work with. For example, it would be difficult to simultaneously handle a 300lb patient and touch a point or lift his/her limbs, especially if the doctor is small. Also, I’d like to know how effective this system would be for chronic / degenerative / mental / emotional issues. This seminar has been enlightening (using 5-phase points) and I would highly recommend it to other practitioners.
Great subject, and taught very well.
Translator is doing excellent job.
Slides and PowerPoint presentations are great.
Perhaps a bit more practical time, and going around to double check what we are doing.
Thank you for coming to P.C.O.M. Symposium.
Thank you very much, the seminar was extremely informative.
The color handouts were useful and much appreciated. I would suggest handing out many M-test check-up lists so we have a fresh one every time we practice with a partner doing an assessment.

Thank you for the feedback!
We will improve our seminar based on the participant's feedbacks.

Acupuncture Can Reduce Perceived Pain, Mood Disturbances and Medical Expenses Related to Low Back Pain among Factory Employees

Treatise on M-Test (Meridian Test).

Industrial Health - Vol. 46 (2008) , No. 4 pp.336-340
Acupuncture Can Reduce Perceived Pain, Mood Disturbances and Medical Expenses Related to Low Back Pain among Factory Employees
Kenta SAWAZAKI1)2), Yoshito MUKAINO3), Fujihisa KINOSHITA4), Tatsuro HONDA4), Osamu MOHARA4), Hinata SAKURABA2), Toshihiro TOGO1)2) and Kazuhito YOKOYAMA1)

Abstract: To investigate the effects of acupuncture on perceived pain, mood disturbances andmedical expenses related to low back pain (LBP), an intervention study was performed among72 employees of a steel company, 70 males and 2 females, aged 53.1 ± 7.1 (mean ± SD) yr, withLBP. They received acupuncture treatment once a week for 8 wk (from October to December1998) by licensed acupuncturists, adopting a new hypothesis of the Meridian test. Perceived painscale, and Profile of Mood States (POMS) were administered. Past and present histories ofemployees’ visits to hospitals and their medical expenses for LBP were surveyed from receiptsobtained from the subjects’ branch factory and from receipts from another nearby branch factory(control) during the period from April 1998 to March 1999. After 8 wk of treatment, patientswith LBP reported diminished pain (p<0.01). POMS showed a significant decrease in the totalmood disturbance score (p<0.001). The number of visits to conventional hospitals (12.1 ± 8.0 vs.0.8 ± 0.8 per month, p<0.05) and standardized medical expenses for LBP (100.1 ± 89.6 vs. 7.3 ± 6.9per month, p<0.05) after acupuncture intervention (November 1998 to March 1999) were significantlydecreased as compared with those before intervention (April 1998 to October 1998). Incontrast, such decreases were not observed in employees from the control branch factory. It issuggested that acupuncture can reduce medical expenses for LBP through improvement in moodand pain.
