Occipital nerve neuralgia
| BL-10-Approximately
1.3 cun lateral to ➞ Du-15, where the trapezius muscle inserts on the
lower border of the occiput, close to where the major occipital nerve
emerges. |  |
| DU-16-On
the posterior midline, directly below the external occipital
protuberance, in the depression between the origins of the trapezius
muscle. |  |
| DU-19-On
the midline, 3 cun superior to ➞Du-17 (directly superior to the
external occipital protuberance) or 1.5 cun posterior to ➞Du-20. |  |
| G.B.-19-On
the posterior aspect of the head, at the upper border of the external
occipital protuberance (➞ Du-17) and 2.25 cun lateral to the midline. |  |
| G.B.-7-In
a depression on the level of the apex of the ear, within the
circumauricular temporal hairline, approximately at the junction of a
horizontal line through the apex of the ear and a vertical line along
the posterior border of the temple anterior to the ear. |  |
| LI-10-2
cun distal to ➞ L.I.-11, on the line connecting ➞ L.I.-5 and ➞L.I.-11,
on the extensor carpi radialis longus muscle; a deeper insertion will
reach the supinator muscle. |  |
| LI-4-On
the radial aspect of the hand, between the 1st and 2nd metacarpal
bones, closer to the 2nd metacarpal bone and approximately at its
midpoint. |  |
| LIV-2-Between the 1st and 2nd toes, proximal to the margin of the interdigital web. |  |
| ST-36-3
cun distal to ➞ ST-35 (‘lateral eye of the knee’) and 1 fingerbreadth
lateral to the anterior crest of the tibia, on the tibialis anterior
muscle. |  |
| T.B.-17-With the patient’s mouth open, in the depression behind the earlobe, between the mastoid process and the mandible. |  |
| T.B.-6-3
cun proximal to the dorsal wrist joint space (‘dorsal wrist crease’),
in a depression between the radius and the ulna, radial to the tendon of
the extensor digitorum communis muscle. |  |
