基于奇经、络脉理论的“通督安神”针灸法治疗抑郁症探微

Discussion on the Treatment of Depression with the Needling Method of"Dredging the Governor Meridian and Tranquilizing"Based on the Theory of Extraordinary Channels and Collaterals

章程鹏教授根据古今文献记载并结合多年临床诊疗经验,认为抑郁症为奇经、络脉同病,以奇阳亏乏,形神失和为发病之本,以络脉虚滞,心脑失养为病机关键;提出“通督安神”针灸法,以督脉为核心着眼点,注重奇络同治、身心共调,“通督”与“安神”并举。通督以补虚通滞,改善躯体化症状;安神以调养心脑之神明,安定畅达情志。二者合用可有效缓解患者心身症状。

In light of the records in modern and ancient literature,combined with years of clinical diagnostic and therapeutic experience,professor Zhang Chengpeng holds that the depression is the disease of extraordinary channels and collaterals,the depletion of Yang,the disharmony between shape and spirit as the root cause of the disease,deficiency and stagnation of collaterals,loss of nourishment of heart and brain as the key of the pathogenesis;he puts forward the needling method of"dredging the governor meridian and tranquilizing",with the governor meridian as the core,focusing on treating extraordinary channels and collaterals together and simultaneous regulation of the body and heart,emphasizing"dredging the governor meridian"and"tranquilizing"at the same time.Dredging the governor meridian could benefit the deficiency and remove the stagnation,and improve somatisation symptoms;tranquilizing could regulate and nourish the spirit of heart and brain,and calm the mind.The combination of both methods could effectively relieve the patients'psychosomatic symptoms.
