Gout bloodletting therapy usually refers to the pricking of blood at acupuncture points. This therapy is a form of acupuncture and has certain therapeutic effects, especially in the acute phase for pain relief and anti-inflammation may be useful. In the remission period, it may be useful to regulate uric acid production and uric acid excretion at certain specific acupuncture points.
