摘要

腕隧道症候群是最常見的壓迫性的神經病變，而目前不管是保守性治療和手術治療都還有尚待完善的空間。本文報告一位五十餘歲女性患者因正中神經被壓迫，導致手指及手掌麻木及刺痛等症狀。在沒有接受其他治療的情形下，接受針刺十宣穴合併雷射針灸治療五次後，患處的麻木及刺痛感明顯改善。由此可見，針刺十宣穴配合雷射針灸可被視為腕隧道症候群的有效替代療法。

並列摘要

Carpal tunnel syndrome is the most common compressive neuropathy, and there is still room for improvement in both conservative and surgical treatments. This article reports a female patient in her fifties who suffered from numbness and tingling in her fingers and palms due to compression of the median nerve. In the absence of other treatments, after five times of acupuncture at ten dispersing points combined with laser acupuncture, the numbness and tingling sensation of the affected area were significantly improved. It can be seen that acupuncture at ten dispersing points combined with laser acupuncture can be regarded as an effective alternative therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome.
