SARS-Cov-2起源於2019年12月起中國湖北武漢市之不明原因肺炎群聚，臨床表現包含發燒、乾咳、倦怠、呼吸急促、頭痛、喉嚨痛、腹瀉等，而SARS-Cov-2之變種病毒有嗅覺或味覺喪失等症狀。目前用於預防新冠肺炎的疫苗主要有AstraZeneca（AZ）、Moderna、BioNTech（BNT）等，其有效預防率均達70%以上。新冠肺炎的疫苗副作用主要包含注射部位疼痛、發燒、肌肉痠痛等，但有極少數可能副作用包含血栓、心肌炎、格林─巴利症候群等。山元式新頭針療法於西元1973年由日本山元敏勝所研發，其治療方法是採用身體上的刺激點治療。林先生，28歲男性，2021年7月底注射AZ疫苗第一劑，數日後感覺右眼、左側嘴角、額頭、手指抽動、顫抖，以及全身痠痛，西醫判定為其他發炎性多發神經病變，且認定疑似為格林─巴利症候群，但並未確診。病患經山元式新頭針療法治療六次後，肌肉抽動顫抖等症狀均消失，恢復日常生活。

SARS-Cov-2 (COVID-19), a type of pneumonia of unknown causes that started from Wuhan, Hubei Province in China in December 2019. Its clinical manifestations include fever, dry cough, fatigue, shortness of breath, headache, sore throat, and diarrhea. The variants of COVID-19 have been reported to cause symptoms including the loss of smell or taste. The main COVID-19 vaccines in use today are AstraZeneca, Moderna, and BioNTech, all of which have shown efficacy over 70%. The most common side effects of COVID-19 vaccines are pain at the injection site, fever, and sore muscles, with very rare cases of thrombosis, myocarditis, and the Guillain-Barré syndrome. The Yamamoto New Scalp Acupuncture was a treatment method developed by Japanese doctor Toshikatsu Yamamoto in 1973 that involves applying pressure to different points of the body. A male patient aged 28 years, received his first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine in July 2021. He experienced twitches and tremors in the right eye, left corner of the mouth, forehead, and fingers and felt sore all over the body a few days after the vaccination. The patient was diagnosed by a Western medicine doctor with other inflammatory polyneuropathies and suspected Guillain-Barré syndrome. These symptoms disappeared after the patient received 6 sessions of the Yamamoto New Scalp Acupuncture, which enabled him to return to normal life.
