The invention relates to the field of medicine and particularly to reflexotherapy and can be used for producing a prolonged acupuncture action upon a patient body. The method for prolonged acupuncture treatment includes determining acupuncture points, selecting needle entry and exit points, passing the needle through the selected entry and exit points, leaving both ends of the needle outside the patient's skin. The needle is secured in this position by means of locking members, installed on both ends of the needle. At the end of the acupuncture session, the needle is left in the body of the patient for an assigned time. An acusal tract is formed in different histological layers of the patient's tissue by introduction of the needle. The entry and exit points for each needle are selected at points located in the region of an acupuncture point and/or reflexogenic zone and/or indifferent zone. The present invention also includes an acupuncture needle suitable for carrying out said method.
