SARS-Cov-2 (COVID-19), a type of pneumonia of unknown causes that started from Wuhan, Hubei Province in China in December 2019. Its clinical manifestations include fever, dry cough, fatigue, shortness of breath, headache, sore throat, and diarrhea. The variants of COVID-19 have been reported to cause symptoms including the loss of smell or taste.
The main COVID-19 vaccines in use today are AstraZeneca, Moderna, and BioNTech, all of which have shown efficacy over 70%. The most common side effects of COVID-19 vaccines are pain at the injection site, fever, and sore muscles, with very rare cases of thrombosis, myocarditis, and the Guillain-Barré syndrome. The Yamamoto New Scalp Acupuncture was a treatment method developed by Japanese doctor Toshikatsu Yamamoto in 1973 that involves applying pressure to different points of the body.
A male patient aged 28 years, received his first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine in July 2021. He experienced twitches and tremors in the right eye, left corner of the mouth, forehead, and fingers and felt sore all over the body a few days after the vaccination. The patient was diagnosed by a Western medicine doctor with other inflammatory polyneuropathies and suspected Guillain-Barré syndrome. These symptoms disappeared after the patient received 6 sessions of the Yamamoto New
Scalp Acupuncture, which enabled him to return to normal life.
