This chapter describes in detail the location, energetic functions, and clinical indications of extra acupuncture points that are distributed in the head, upper extremities, hands, back, abdomen, lower extremities, and feet. These points do not belong to any of the energy channels and are mostly documented empirically for their unique functions.

Trigger Point–Acupuncture Point Correlations Revisited
The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, 2003In 1977, Melzack and colleagues examined the possible correspondence of acupuncture points and trigger points for the treatment of pain. They claimed a 71% correspondence between these two classes of points. Their findings have influenced many researchers and practitioners but have not been examined since 1977. The current study explores the claim of a

Acupuncture & Electro-Therapeutics Research: International Journal of Integrated Medicine, 2014
In this study, we chose 10 acupoints and non-acupuncture point control groups to see if there are electrical differences between acupoints and non-acupoints. 4 adjacent non-acupoints around each acupoint were chosen as a control group in 400 trials on 10 volunteers aged 23-30 years to characterize the Power Spectral Density of acupoint ...
