Claims

1. A method for treating pain of a subject characterized in providing treatment not directly onto a pain point, but to at least one correlative treatment point, the method comprises:

(a) determining a gender, the pain point, a laterality of the pain point, and a character of pain of the subject, wherein the character of pain is sthenia syndrome or asthenia syndrome, and the pain point is expressed as at least a body portion at which the pain point is located and a nerve band with which the pain point is associated, wherein the body portion is selected from the group consisting of head (H), trunk (T), arms (S), forearms (E), hands (W), thighs (L), legs (K) and feet (A), and the nerve band is any of the 16 nerve bands set forth in Table 1 and the 16 nerve bands are grouped in accordance with rules set forth in Tables 3a to 3d;

(b) determining whether the treatment is a straight treatment or a cross treatment based on the determined gender, the laterality of the pain point, and the character of pain of step (a), and a laterality of the treatment point in accordance with rules set forth in Table 2;

(c) finding the at least one correlative treatment point of the pain point based on the determined pain point of step (a) and the determined treatment of step (b), wherein the treatment point is expressed as at least a body portion at which the treatment point is located and a nerve band with which the treatment point is associated with, when the treatment is the straight treatment, the at least one correlative treatment point is determined in accordance with rules set forth in Table 4a, and when the treatment is the cross treatment, the at least one correlative treatment point is determined in accordance with rules set forth in Table 4b; and

(d) applying a sufficient force on the determined at least one correlative treatment point of step (c) to reduce the pain of the subject.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein each of the body portions is further divided into 10 equal parts from top to bottom, the pain point is further expressed as the part at which the pain point is located, and the at least one correlative treatment point is further expressed as the part at which said treatment point is located.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the part at which the at least one correlative treatment point is located at a corresponding body part associated with the pain point.
