The disease often first occurs in young adults, around 20 years of age, being more common in women than in men (1.5-3.1) represents one of the most common diagnoses in daily practice by 12%. This syndrome can occur at any age but often begins in adolescence or early adulthood. The treatment of (SII) multifactorial disease is complex and difficult to handle in most cases not satisfactory. Acupuncture on the other hand has a well recognized analgesic effect and impact of various structures and functions of the central nervous system, promoting the release of multiple neurotransmitters and autonomic response through the sympathetic and likeable, controlling visceral functions such as motility and gastrointestinal secretion. Method: the study was conducted in the office of CECYT 12 of the National Politechnic Institute, clinical history was made that teachers who met the inclusion criteria were drawn up and signed the letter of informed consent. Two groups were formed at random, 25 patients each, all subjets were evaluated pain with EVA scale at the beginning and end of the session, and were cited two times a week. Results: In the period from April to October 2011 caught a total of 50 teachers in the IPN CECYT 12, of wich 88% are female and only 12 % of male patients was not eliminated. We obtained a P<0.05 in the assement of the EVA pain scale ,because the pain went down by 2-3 points from session 5 onward until it reaches 0 at the 10th week of treatmeant showing significants differences . Conclusions: The long needle is more effective than sham acupuncture in reducing pain in irritable bowel syndrome when applied to teachers in the IPN without modifying eating habits and occupational groups of patients who ingested no others treatments for this pathology.
