RESUMEN
Acupuncture has achieved good effect in the treatment of various types of cervical spondylosis, which can alleviate the symptoms of neck pain and vertigo, and improve the blood supply to the brain. In terms of acupuncture location, treatment mainly selects acupoints according to meridians and syndrome differentiation, that is, identifying the diseased meridians and giving acupuncture treatment according to massage along meridians and pressing in the traditional meridian diagnosis method,or taking points according to location, including near and far ends based on meridian theory, acupuncture needlingcorresponding locations of hands and feet based on holographic theory, or taking points according to innervated areas or muscle fibers based on anatomical structure. Acupuncture methods mainly include warming and dredging acupuncture, short needling, fast needling and so on. In addition to filiform needles, floating needles, long needles, electroacupuncture and other special needles arealso usedin clinic.
RESUMEN
The literature and relevant books on the scalp needling schools were retrieved to collect the main scalp needling schools and compare the point location principles and needling techniques so as to optimize the scalp needling scheme. Currently there are ten major schools of scalp acupuncture, representing for example by,and, etc. The principles of stimulating localization are different among the schools, in which,'s skull line localization is mainly for the treatment of cerebrovascular diseases,prefers the penetrating technique for the treatment of pain and mental disorders according to traditional meridian theory, and the other schools take the cortical functions into account for the stimulating localization. Regarding needling techniques,stresses on the deep puncture to the periosteum, and the rest school masters puncture beneath the bonnet aponeurosis. The quick rotation of needle is required in's scalp needling,'s skull needle,and the needling technique for opening brain and promotion collateral. The long-term needle retaining is required in's scalp needling and's scalp needling. It is believed that the stimulating localization principles are not standardized, the theoretic evidences are not clear and the needling depth is different among the schools. There are no standard criteria on needling angle, depth, direction, rotating speed and needle retaining time. The evidence-based medicine is recommended. Through strict scientific design, based on the clinical and experimental evidences, it is required to determine the theoretic scientific evidence of scalp acupuncture, the specificity of stimulating areas, the effective stimulating areas and quantify the needling manipulations and clarify the optimal scheme of scalp needling.
