Abstract

The integration of traditional acupuncture systems with modern biomedical technologies offers promising avenues for therapeutic innovation. This study explores the efficacy of superficial galvanic stimulation applied to Master Tung acupuncture points, aiming to evaluate its potential in enhancing clinical outcomes. Master Tung’s points, renowned for their precision and systemic effects, were selected as stimulation sites to bridge classical theory with contemporary practice. Through structured patient selection, point identification, device application, and subsequent data analysis, the intervention was assessed for its impact on symptom modulation and physiological response. Findings suggest that superficial galvanic stimulation not only reinforces the therapeutic relevance of Master Tung’s system but also demonstrates measurable benefits when interpreted through modern clinical frameworks. This approach highlights the potential of bridging tradition and modernity to create innovative, evidence-based pathways in integrative medicine.
