The purpose of this study is to observe the relationship between thesensitivity of cutaneous sensation and the effect of acupuncture anesthesia.Subjects were 106 patients for lung resection and 59 for brain resection underacupuncture anesthesia.As the results indicated

there was high correlation between the compo-und sensitivity of electric touch and pain sensations and the effect of acupu-ncture anesthesia

and the nonsensitives often had better effect.It seemsthat this method can be used as one of the ways for forecast of acupunctureanesthesia effect.
