取类比象在针灸治疗痛证中的临床运用

Clinical application of “categorization by analogy” in acupuncture for pain syndromes

"取类比象"是古人认识世界最原始的思维方法,它对中医学的起源和发展产生了深远的影响。本文仅以三间治疗项痛、尺泽治疗腰痛和承山治疗痛经为例,阐述"取类比象"在针灸治疗痛证方面的临床运用,以期让更多医者重视"取类比象"在针灸临床上的指导作用。

The＂categorization by analogy＂is one of the most primitive thinking methods for ancient people to explore the world, which has exerted far-reaching impact on the origin and development of TCM. With examples of Sanjian（LI 3） for neck pain, Chize（LU 5） for low back pain and Chengshan（BL 57） for dysmenorrhea, the clinical application of＂categorization by analogy＂in acupuncture for pain syndromes was discussed, hoping more acupuncturists will pay attention to the guiding role of＂categorization by analogy＂in acupuncture clinical treatment.
