ABSTRACT
Neurogenic orthostatic hypotension (nOH) is a common neurodegenerative disease, and is usually differentiated as kidney-yang depletion syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Fire needling on governor vessel (督脉) acupoints as well as Shenshu (BL 23) and Zhishi (BL 52) can dredge the qi and blood of governor vessel, so as to warm yang and unblock the channels, supplement essence and boost marrow. A case of elderly nOH treated by fire needling mainly at governor vessel points, Shenshu (BL 23) and Zhishi (BL 52) was reported. After nearly two months of treatment, the patient's orthostatic blood pressure difference and yang deficiency-related symptoms were significantly improved, and the results of blood pressure monitoring, TCM syndrome scale evaluation and Shenshu (BL 23) area infrared imager detection all showed definite clinical effect.
