🎯 Location: When elbow is flexed point is in the depression the at the lateral end of the transverse cubital crease midway between LU05 and lateral epicondyle of the humerus.
⚠️ Cautions: Monitor blood pressure and avoid strong stimulation where hypertension is uncontrolled or unstable; hypertensive crisis is a medical emergency. Avoid excessive stimulation in weak patients.
🎯 Location: 2 thumb widths proximal to the dorsal crease of the wrist on the line connecting TB04 and tip of the olecranon the between radius and ulna.
Corroborated by a second study. PC07, TB05 also appear in another study-reported protocol for the same search. A second publication is not necessarily a second research group. doi:10.1155/2013/795906 ↗

⚠️ Cautions: Avoid in patients with bleeding disorders.

🎯 Location: On the radial side of the wrist; when thumb is tilted upward it is in the depression the between tendons of the extensor pollicus longus and brevis.
🎯 Location: At the ulnar end of the transverse crease on the dorsal aspect of the wrist in the depression the between styloid process of the ulna and triquetral bone.
