刘智斌教授基于“以痛为腧”理论应用针挑疗法辨治痛症经验

Professor Liu Zhibin’s experience in treating pain by acupuncture picking therapy based on the theory of“taking pain as acupoint”

痛症是临床常见疼痛性疾病的通称,是临床常见病、多发病,严重影响患者日常生活及身心健康。目前治疗以镇痛药物为主,临床应用中发现此类药物对骨关节病及慢性顽固性疾病所致疼痛常疗效欠佳。基于此,陕西省名中医刘智斌教授结合多年临证经验与针灸学“以痛为腧”理论,提出痛症治法关键应“菀陈则除之”;此外刘教授认为痛症与皮部之间有着密切联系,并依此提出“针挑疗法”,临床重视辨经取穴和“以痛为腧”取穴相结合,操作手法强调横刺挑提、牵拉摇摆。本文从“以痛为腧”阐述刘教授应用针挑疗法辨治痛症经验,并附验案1则,以供探讨。

Pain is a generic term for common clinical pain disorders,which are common and frequent in clinic,and seriously affect patients’daily life and physical and mental health.At present,analgesic drugs are the main treatment.In clinical application,it is found that such drugs are often ineffective in treating pain caused by osteoarthropathy and chronic intractable diseases.Based on this,Professor Liu Zhibin,a famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor from Shaanxi Province,combining his years of clinical experience and the theory of“taking pain as acupoint”,proposes that the key to treating pain should be“purging blood method to eliminate the long-standing disease in the blood”.In addition,Professor Liu believes that there is a close connection between pain and skin,and according to this proposed“acupuncture picking therapy”,the clinical attention to distinguish acupoints and“taking pain as acupoint”combination,the operation emphasizes the horizontal acupuncture picking,pulling and swaying.This article expatiates on Professor Liu’s experience in treating pain by acupuncture picking therapy from“taking pain as acupoint”and attaches a verified case for discussion.
