In current clinical acupuncture practice

many exiting problems including changes in the treated region

simultaneous covering two meridians of the two stimulating electrodes(acupuncture needles)

inability to realize the reinforcing-reducing functions of the traditional acupuncture

etc.during application of electroacupuncture(EA) could be found

which may affect the therapeutic results or lead to failure in playing EA's functions.For this reason

the authors of the present paper put forward a concept of "single acupoint EA".Base on the design of "double electrodes of two acupuncture needles" of the conventional EA therapeutic apparatus

a "single acupoint EA therapy" was put forward and a single acupoint EA electronic apparatus(stimulating needle electrode) was manufactured.It not only realizes single acupoint stimulation

but also corresponds to the features of traditional EA therapy

avoiding some problems in currently-used EA therapy.It may be helpful to raising clinical therapeutic effect.
