RESUMEN
We cured by acupuncture therapy seventeen cases of constipation which were caused by disfunction of the digestive system, not including organic disorder of this system.<br>Then we comparatively examined subjective and objective symptoms during the treatment period (about one month).<br>The results showed that acupuncture therapy was effective against the constipation and unspecified complaints which accompanied it. The improvemet ratio for the former was 58.8%, the latter 58.0%.<br>Moreover we were able to observe that the abdominal thermogrphic findings were improved simultaneously.<br>So we supposed that acupuncture stimulation was able to stabilize the function of the autonomic nervous system.
