针刺治疗原发性高血压机制的国际研究进展

International Research Progress of Acupuncture Mechanism in Treating Essential Hypertension

针刺治疗高血压病疗效显著,在中国已被作为一种替代疗法而广泛应用于临床。由于针刺降压的机制较为复杂且仍处于不断研究中,西方国家目前仍持怀疑态度,许多西方医生仍不愿意推荐针刺疗法。在国内针刺降压的机制研究较为全面,但对西方国家影响较小,因此本研究整理、分析了针刺降压机制的国际研究进展,以进一步明确在国际上针刺的发展状况、针刺降压机制的研究程度,为针刺进一步的临床推广提供理论支持。同时发现目前在国际上对针刺治疗原发性高血压的机制研究主要集中在肾素-血管紧张素-醛固酮系统、氧化应激、血管内皮功能及神经机制等方面。

Acupuncture is effective in treating hypertension,which has been widely used as an alternative therapy in China.Because the mechanism of acupuncture in reducing blood pressure is complex,western practitioners are still reluctant to recommend acupuncture therapy.In China,the mechanism of acupuncture in treating hypertension is more comprehensive,but has little impact on western countries.Therefore,this study summarized and analyzed the international research progress of acupuncture mechanism in reducing high blood pressure,in order to further clarify the development of acupuncture in the world and the research level of acupuncture mechanism in treating hypertension,so as to provide theoretical support for the further clinical promotion of acupuncture.It found that the acupuncture mechanism in treating essential hypertension in the world is mainly focused on renin-angiotension-aldosterone system,oxidative stress,vascular endothelial function and neural mechanism.
