Aim: One of the real and complicated problems of medicine is pain. Zhenjiu is very effective at different variants of pain syndromes. An attempt to classify traditional indications for pain treatment for raising the effectiveness of the therapy was made.
Method: The treatment of patients with different variants of pain syndromes was carried out with a consideration on creating classifications of indicators of the points used, their hierarchic model and testing of the effectiveness of pain relief in every seance. The correction of the points used was based on the state of the patient. In a control group the treatment was carried out according to the recipes taken from foreign and Russian original sources. During the treatment either acupuncture or moxibustion was used depending on the syndrome.
Results: In the treatment group the total effectiveness of the antipain therapy was 89.9%, and considerable lowering of pain intensity appeared after 1 to 3 seances. In the control group the total effectiveness was 71.9%, and the obvious pain relief appeared after 4 to 6 seances.
Conclusion: The elaborated classification of indicators makes it possible to design a new system approach in the use of acupoints (using only the necessary ones in the process of treatment). Following the classical principles, the elaborated classification and hierarchic model of points makes it possible to raise the effectiveness of the antipain therapy.

Aim: Chinese medicine is based on a solid philosophical basis. One of the most important discoveries of ancient Chinese philosophers and doctors was the discovery of chronobiological correlation of the course of normal and pathological processes in the human body and in the outer world, and the creation of chronocorrection methods of appearing violation. Among classical methods of chronomedicine the leading place is given to ZiWuLuZhu, which gives the possibility to correctly choose the acupoints at the right time and to coordinate the way of influencing on this acupoints. Following this methodological principle, it gives a doctor the advantage to cure without fault.
Results: Studying the ZiWuLuZhu method on the basis of ancient and modern Chinese original works showed that different authors described the sequence of Five-element acupoints on the 10th day in their own ways. A theoretical pattern analysis of ZiWuLuZhu method on the basis of classical Taoist philosophical ideas made it possible to restore the relationship between the Five-element acupoints on the 10th day and to present their original sequence with the given conception.
Conclusion: It is possible to explain the theoretical patterns of Chinese chronotherapeutical methods only through the knowledge of Taoist philosophy, numerology and astronomy of the ancient China. Understanding of these methods will sufficiently broaden their usage for doctors who practice Zhenjiu.

Aim: To provide clinical proof of the existence of the Holographic System of Body Correspondences as developed by Prof. Park Jae Woo of South Korea.
Methods: Patients were examined with various pathologies with regard to testing reactions of the Holographic System points and producing possible therapeutic effects by stimulation of these points.
Results: The study covered over 2,000 patients in Su Jok clinics in Moscow and proved high responsiveness of the points of the Holographic System of Correspondence(95%) and good therapeutic effects produced by their stimulation(cured or considerable improvement in 80% of cases).
Conclusion: The efficacy of the treatment has supported the existence of a Uniform Holographic System of Body Correspondences. The system composition is in accord with the principles suggested by Prof. Park Jae Woo, that is, that there exists two basic correspondence systems, there levels of each system, reflection symmetry principles, correlation of the Yin and Yang surfaces, etc. The Uniform System of Body Correspondences is highly effective, easy to learn, simple to apply, safe and inexpensive. It must become a part of the basic skills of physicians of any specialty.
