喉痹从刺营论治探讨

Study on needling Ying method for treatment of sore throat

探讨从刺营论治喉痹的机制。通过对喉痹的病因病机分析,认为喉痹发病的病机关键是热毒壅滞、痰火郁结,而咽喉局部脉络闭阻是喉痹发病的经络学基础。因咽喉部有多条经络循行,故咽喉与脏腑经络构成密切联系,当外邪侵袭或脏腑经络功能失常,均可致邪毒壅滞、痰瘀闭阻咽喉脉络而发病。在临床上,通过咽喉局部刺营或配合循经取穴刺营治疗,可疏通脉络、逐邪外出、解毒消肿、化痰祛瘀、调和阴阳,从而达到通利咽喉之目的。刺营法是治疗喉痹的重要方法。

To explore the mechanism of needling Ying method for treatment of sore throat. By the analysis of pathogenesis of sore throat, the authors think the key of its pathogenesis is stagnation of pathogenic factors such as hotness and phlegm accumulating, and meridian-vessel obstruction in the throat is its meridian foundation. There are several meridians passing through the throat, so the throat is closely related to viscera and meridians, and stagnation of pathogenic factors such as hotness and phlegm accumulating in the throat lead to sore throat when exogenous pathogenic factors invading or dysfunction of viscera and meridians. The treatment of needling Ying at local throat or combined with corresponding meridian point selection can dredge collaterals, dispel pathogenic factors, remove pathogenic factors to dispel swelling, resolve phlegm and dissipate stagnation and harmonize yin and yang, so as to relieve sore throat. In conclusion, needling Ying method is an important method in the treatment of sore throat.
