This essay, written by Dr. Ulrich Werth, documents the evolution and fortuitous discovery of the implant acupuncture technique (Auricular Implantology) in 1998, starting from a case of trigeminal neuralgia. The report summarizes the initial clinical experiences up to 2003, highlighting the potential of the permanent needle to generate a continuous healing effect without side effects. Furthermore, it offers a brief overview of the first results from clinical studies in the treatment of Parkinson’s disease, as well as other indications successfully treated with Auricular Implantology.
