After twisting several times, keep the needle 10-20 minutes, and twist the thread to enhance the needle feeling during the process. Once a day or every other day, 10-20 times is a course of treatment, and the treatment interval is one week. If you can't receive regular treatment due to work reasons, you can choose to bury the needle and fix it on the acupoint for 5-20 days, so that the patient can press it several times a day to strengthen the stimulation.
