PIP: The article reports on the first 25 cases of induced abortion practiced under acupunctural analgesia in France. 5 points were touched on the body, and 3 on the ear. The 25 patients, all between 19-40, did not feel any pain, except in one single case. Bleeding was minimal, duration of intervention about 10-15 minutes, and duration of hospitalization very short, about 2h.30'. The major advantages of analgesia through acupuncture are its total safety, and, especially, the fact that it leaves the patient totally conscious, establishing a better relationship between patient and doctor.
