针刺方向、角度、深度与针刺镇痛的关系

从疼痛病症、针刺进针点、针刺工具及针刺方向、角度、深度等不同角度,对近30年针刺镇痛文献进行分析,初步优化针刺方向、角度、深度与针刺镇痛的关系,以提高针刺镇痛疗效.结果表明,针刺方向、角度及深度是影响针刺镇痛疗效的关键因素,但目前对此研究非常薄弱.应用多因素分析法,系统分析针刺方向、角度、深度等因素与镇痛效应、镇痛机制的关系,既可提高针刺镇痛疗效,又可全方位探索针刺镇痛机制.

Acupuncture analgesia and the direction, angle and depth of needle insertion

Literatures on acupuncture analgesia of the recent 30 years are analyzed through the target pain syndromes, points and tools selected for needling as well as the chosen direction, angle and depth of insertion. The relationship between effect of acupuncture analgesia and needling direction, angle as well as depth is initially optimized to enhance the analgesic effect. The result shows that the 3 factors are the key influences. However, studies on the above mentioned relation are still far from enough. Aiming at enhancing the effect of acupuncture analgesia and exploring the relative mechanism, it is held that multivariate analysis should be adopted to do systematic analysis on relationship between effect and mechanism of acupuncture analgesia and direction, angle and depth of the needle insertion.
