腧穴配伍研究思路和展望

分析2000—2011年国内外期刊的相关文献,对腧穴配伍研究的思路进行探讨和展望。结果表明腧穴配伍既有协同作用也有拮抗作用,机制研究有一定进展,但在理论创新、研究设计和技术方法上有待进一步提高。今后腧穴配伍研究应该以提高针灸临床疗效为宗旨,需要进行新理论的凝练,严格进行研究设计,并积极应用现代科技方法,以期为针灸临床提供可资借鉴的理论依据和研究方向。

Thoughts and prospects of research on acupoints compatibility

The relative literatures published in the domestic and international periodicals from the year 2000 to 2011 were analyzed. And discussion and prospect were carried out on the way of thinking on compatibility of acupoints. The result indicats that both synergistic reaction and antagonism can be found in acupoint compatibility. Progresses are made in the mechanism study. However, improvements can still be made in theoretical innovation, research designation and technical method. In the future, studies on acupoint compatibility should be focused on enhancing of the clinical effect. New theories should be carefully selected and condensed, research designation should be strictly controlled, and modern scientific technologies should be actively applied so as to provide theoretical basis and researching direction for acupuncture clinical practice.
