Acupuncture employs a variety of needle types, each with distinct characteristics and indications. Clinicians select the appropriate needle based on the patient’s condition and constitution, including filiform needles, triangular needles, and skin needles, among others.

1. Filiform needles: These are the most commonly used acupuncture needles, characterized by their fine diameter and a wide range of lengths, from 13 mm to 100 mm, making them suitable for needling most acupoints.

2. Triple-edged needle: The needle tip is triangular in shape and is often used in bloodletting therapy to treat conditions such as blood stasis and heat-toxin.

3. Skin acupuncture: Also known as plum-blossom acupuncture, it consists of multiple short needles that are tapped against the skin to stimulate acupoints and meridians, and is commonly used to treat skin disorders, headaches, and other conditions.

4. Fire Needle: The needle is relatively thick and must be rapidly inserted into the acupoint after being heated to red-hot; it is primarily used to treat cold-pattern conditions, among others.

5. Máng Needle: A slender, elongated needle often used for deep acupuncture at acupoints to treat deep-seated conditions, such as sciatica.

Acupuncture treatment should be administered under the guidance of a qualified physician to ensure proper technique and safety. Acupuncture needles and related instruments must be regularly disinfected to prevent cross-contamination.
