基于针刺“痛穴”治疗带状疱疹神经痛经验

Experience in the Treatment of Herpes Zoster Neuralgia Based on Acupuncture at “Pain Points”

摘要: 针灸是治疗针灸疾病的一种特殊方法。临床经验和实验表明，针灸治疗疼痛疗效显著，具有很高的临床价值，并早已形成了以各种针灸手法和穴位为主的治疗体系。导师在应用“痛穴”治疗带状疱疹方面具有丰富的经验，在临床应用中往往取得显著疗效。前言：疼痛是大脑对组织损伤或可能引起组织损伤的刺激所产生的一种不愉快的主观感觉，多表现为刺痛、烧灼感、撕裂感、绞痛等，并伴有焦虑、恐惧、苦恼等复杂的心理行为。美国疼痛学会将其定义为“生命的第五标志”。中国有3亿多慢性疼痛患者，且每年以1000万至2000万的速度递增。疼痛可发生于各个年龄段的人群，目前的治疗主要依靠止痛药，可以改善患者短期的局部症状，但对我国目前3亿慢性疼痛患者的长期疗效仍不理想。

Abstract: Acupuncture is a special method of treating acupuncture diseases. Clinical experience and experiments have shown that acupuncture is effective in treating pain, has high clinical value, and has long formed a treatment system based on various acupuncture techniques and acupuncture points. The instructor has rich experience in the application of “pain points” in the treatment of herpes zoster, and often achieved remarkable results in clinical application. Preface: Pain is an unpleasant subjective sensation produced by the brain in response to tissue damage or stimuli that may cause tissue damage, mostly manifested as stinging, burning, tearing, cramping, etc., and accompanied by anxiety, fear, distress and other complex psychological behavior. The American Pain Society defines it as “the fifth sign of life”. There are more than 300 million chronic pain patients in China, and the number is increasing by 10 to 20 million every year. Pain can occur in people of all ages, and the current treatment mainly relies on painkillers, which can improve short-term local symptoms, but the long-term efficacy of China’s 300 million chronic pain patients is still unsatisfactory.
