A Neurological Sleeping Position Disorder

In Jamshedpur (TATA) a patient had a neurological disorder. His complaint was that he met an accident in Patna while travelling by a rickshaw. The neuro physicians diagnosed that the accident has caused a lesion in the brain.

The effect of the accident on the brain caused a peculiar behaviour in his sleeping pattern. He said that he is unable to sleep on the bed on his right side as that causes pain inside the head. Further, he added that in deep sleep if he happens to turn to his right side then that makes him awake because the pain inside the head starts. The pain stops gradually if he again sleeps straight or on his left side. This he was suffering for a year or so.

On the first session of treatment, the Acupressure Reflexology Point No. 2 and 39’s were pressed. After the treatment session, there and then he was asked to sleep on his right side to observe any change. To the astonishment of the patient, he didn’t have the pain. Being surprised he asked if he can sleep for a few minutes more. Even after that, the pain didn’t surface. It’s a case which was cured in a single sitting.

Sometimes in Acupressure, it is seen that a single treatment even creates wonder. But for precaution, he got few more sessions of treatment in the following days and was relieved of the agonizing experience. Along with Acupressure Reflexology Point No. 2 and 39, the other Points that were pressed after the first-day session were 1, 5, 7, 8, 15 (in hand only), 16, 26, 28 and 37.
