摘要: 胃痛又称胃脘痛，是以胃脘部近心窝处疼痛为主症的临床常见病症，对应于现代医学的慢性胃炎、功能性消化不良、消化性溃疡等多种疾病。本病病程迁延，严重影响患者生活质量。针灸以其“疏通气机、和胃止痛”的独特优势，在本病治疗中得到广泛应用，且近年来临床研究取得了显著进展。本文对近年针灸治疗胃痛的临床研究进行了系统梳理与总结，从单纯针刺、艾灸、电针、火针、穴位注射、穴位埋线、针药结合等疗法进行归纳分析，以期为针灸临床治疗胃痛提供借鉴与参考。

Abstract: Epigastric pain, also known as weiwantong (stomach duct pain), is a common clinical condition characterized by pain in the epigastric region near the heart socket. It corresponds to various diseases in modern medicine, including chronic gastritis, functional dyspepsia, and peptic ulcer. The protracted course of the disease severely impairs patients’ quality of life. Acupuncture, with its unique advantages of “promoting the free flow of qi mechanism and harmonizing the stomach to relieve pain” has been widely applied in the treatment of this condition, and significant progress has been made in clinical research in recent years. This paper systematically reviews and summarizes the recent clinical studies on acupuncture treatment of epigastric pain, categorizing and analyzing therapies including simple acupuncture, moxibustion, electroacupuncture, fire needling, acupoint injection, acupoint catgut embedding, and combined acupuncture and herbal medicine, aiming to provide a reference for the clinical acupuncture treatment of epigastric pain.
