“头项寻列缺”的机制研究概况

A Survey of the Research on the Mechanism of "The Treatment of Head and Neck Disease from Lieque(LU7)"

从有关"头项寻列缺"的针灸理论基础、生理解剖基础、现代机理等方面分别进行探讨,从不同方面证实针刺列缺穴可以有效治疗头项部疾病。列缺穴为八脉交会穴之一,通于任脉,而任督二脉经气相通,督脉的循行路线过头项部,针刺列缺穴可疏通任督二脉的经气,能够有效治疗头项部的疾患,其机制可能与神经递质抑制疼痛信号的传递、筋膜通路相关。现代机理研究涉及穴位敏化机制、红外热像机制、血流动力学机制等多个方面。

From the aspects of acupuncture theoretical basis, physiological anatomical basis and modern mechanism, it is proved from different aspects that acupuncture at Lieque(LU7) can effectively treat head and neck diseases. Lieque(LU7) is one of the eight confluent points, which is connected with conception vessel. The channel-Qi of conception vessel and governor vessel is interlinked, and the route of governor vessel goes through the head. Acupuncture at Lieque(LU7) point can dredge the channel-Qi of conception vessel and governor vessel, and can effectively treat the diseases of head and neck. The mechanism may be related to neurotransmitters inhibiting pain signal transmission and fascia pathway. Modern mechanism research involves many aspects such as acupoint sensitization mechanism, infrared thermography mechanism, hemodynamic mechanism and so on.
