as well as their sensitivity of pain and acupuncture. The results were as follows: 1.Pain feelings and G.S.R.responses to stimuli of the non-readiness group were greater than those of the other group

especially in sensitive subjects.The evoked responses of pulse amplitude and the compounded pulse

respiration and G.S.R.responses were different between the two groups only in the sensitive subjects

showing that the sensitive subjects in the non-readiness group responded more strongly. 2.Both the pain feelings and the compounded evoked physiological re- sponses of the sensitive subjects were significantly higher than those of the non-sensitives in both groups. 3.The results show that knowledge or mental readiness of acupunc- ture analgesia

i.e.the time

feeling of stimuli

played only a moderate role in acupuncture analgesia.It seemed that prior-explanation of acupuncture had some significance

but its effect was limited and varied with subjects.
