针灸治疗慢性疲劳综合征的实验及机理研究进展

Research Progress of Mechanism and Experiment of Acupuncture and Moxibustion on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

慢性疲劳综合征对人类的健康威胁日益严重,现代医学对其缺乏特异性治疗方法,治疗效果不佳。目前中医针灸在该病的治疗上获得了满意疗效,得到了广泛应用。近年来对针灸治疗该病的机理研究不断深入,从神经、内分泌、免疫、氧化应激等不同方面进行了探讨,为临床应用提供了有价值的参考依据。目前的研究取得了一定的进展,但仍存在许多不足,比如不同取穴方法的作用特点对比研究、基础配穴的研究、动物模型的选取、新的作用机理的探索等,需在未来的研究中进一步完善。

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is a growing threat to human‘s health. There is less specific treatment and significant effect for the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in modern medicine. Fortunately acupuncture and moxibustion take a satisfactory effect on the treatment of the disease, and the treatment has been widely used. In recent years, studies on this therapeutics continue to depth, and the mechanism of acupuncture and moxibustion has been explored in different aspects, such as nervous, endocrine, immune and oxidative stress, etc.., and the valuable reference from studies has been provided for clinical application. Today, some progresses have been made; however, there are still many deficiencies in the current studies. Particularly, these aspects need to be further improved in the future studies, such as： comparative study on the function characteristics of different methods of acupoint selection, study on the basic acupoint group, selection of animal models and exploration of new mechanism, etc.
