针刺治疗高血压病临床研究进展

Progress of Clinical Research on Acupuncture Treatment of Hypertension

摘要: 通过对针刺治疗原发性高血压有关文献进行总结分析，研究发现针刺对原发性高血压具有起效显著、作用稳定的特点；针刺治疗原发性高血压的疗效特点具有按时针刺，疗效提升；前期干预，未病先防；既病防变，防治在先等效果特征。其疗效特点与其针刺降压机理有密切关系。研究表明，针刺调控高血压的重要机制包括：调节肾素–血管紧张素–醛固酮系统活性、改善血管内皮功能，调节交感神经，抗氧化应激，调节炎性因子，以及调节基因蛋白的表达。

Abstract: Through the summary and analysis of the relevant literature on acupuncture treatment of essential hypertension, it is found that acupuncture has the characteristics of significant and stable effect on essential hypertension. The curative effect of acupuncture in the treatment of essential hyperten-sion is characterized by the effect of acupuncture on time to improve the curative effect of early in-tervention to prevent the disease before the disease. The curative effect of acupuncture is closely related to its antihypertensive mechanism. Studies have shown that the important mechanisms of acupuncture regulation of hypertension include: regulation of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone sys-tem activity, improvement of vascular endothelial function, regulation of sympathetic nerve, an-ti-oxidative stress, regulation of inflammatory factors, and regulation of gene protein expression.
