王维峰教授基于“心脑从神”思想治疗失眠经验举隅

Experience of Professor Wang Weifeng in the Treatment of Insomnia Based on the Thought of“Mind and Brain Follow Spirit”

失眠是一种临床常见病,可表现为入睡困难、睡眠表浅、多梦易醒、早醒等,可伴有抑郁、焦虑等异常,严重地影响正常的工作、学习、生活。王维峰教授根据多年治疗脑病的临床经验及文献研究,提出“心脑从神”的学说思想,并在该学说思想指导下结合自身临床实践创立了“安神益智针法”以治疗失眠,疗效显著。王维峰教授认为,失眠的基本病机是阴阳不和,神明失守,随着现代生活节奏的变化,失眠已经成为一种常见病、多发病和反复发作的慢性病,从脏腑角度而言,多与心肝肾三脏有关,而且病位在脑,属于中医学“神”的病变,在治疗上应秉持“心脑同治,调和阴阳”并结合滋补肝肾的思想。文中通过对失眠基本病机的论述及“安神益智针法”治疗失眠的理论依据来介绍王维峰教授应用针刺疗法治疗失眠的经验,为失眠的针刺治疗提供新的理论指导思想及选穴组方思路。
