慢性疲劳综合征免疫学发病机制及针灸推拿治疗研究近况

Immunological Pathogenesis of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Research on Acupuncture and Moxibustion Treatment

慢性疲劳综合征(CFS)是一种以长时间的不可缓解的疲劳为主要表现的证候群,目前国内外对其发病机制的研究尚无定论,但多集中在免疫改变,神经-内分泌失调,代谢失衡,心理认知障碍四方面,特别是免疫相关机制研究方面。有研究者发现针灸推拿等外治疗法在改善CFS患者临床症状,调节自身免疫方面有关键功用。该文将着重介绍目前CFS的免疫学发病机制及针灸推拿的治疗机制研究进展,以助学界进一步深入研究。

Chronic fatigue syndrome( CFS) is a syndrome characterized by prolonged non-reducible fatigue. At present,the research on its pathogenesis at home and abroad is still unclear,but most of it focuses on immune changes,neuro-endocrine disorders,metabolic imbalance,psychological cognitive impairment,and immune-related research account for a large proportion.Some researchers have found that acupuncture and moxibustion and other external treatments have a key function in improving the clinical symptoms of CFS patients and regulating autoimmunity.
