Pain is not proven, it is experienced" (David Le Breton): this sentence is at the center of the look in this book on pain and suffering as well as on the emotional and symbolic aspects which are attached to it. We cannot consider pain solely on a therapeutic level, we must first listen to its echo, seek its meaning, understand its mechanisms. Acupuncture occupies a place of choice in the management of pain, this is precisely what this book wishes to demonstrate by describing what traditional Chinese medicine offers to understand and relieve it.
