摘要: 慢性疼痛与免疫炎症反应之间存在复杂相互关系。慢性疼痛不仅仅是一个单纯的感觉体验，它涉及身体的多个系统，包括免疫系统。炎症是免疫系统对损伤或感染的反应，是身体修复过程中的一部分。在治疗免疫炎症反应引起的慢性疼痛通常涉及使用非甾体抗炎药、糖皮质激素、免疫抑制剂等药物来减少炎症，以及使用抗抑郁药和抗癫痫等药物来管理疼痛。然而，此类药物效果有限且副作用大。而针灸作为一种深植于传统中医的治疗方法，在应对慢性疼痛方面展现出了其独有的优势。这一疗法不仅具备多重作用机制、低副作用的风险、持久的治疗效果，还能提供全面的疗效。本文的目的是综述针灸治疗慢性疼痛的最新研究动态，特别是它基于免疫炎性反应的机制，旨在为针灸在慢性疼痛管理领域的应用开辟新的视角。
Abstract: There exists a complex interrelationship between chronic pain and immune-inflammatory responses. Chronic pain is not merely a simple sensory experience; it involves multiple systems within the body, including the immune system. Inflammation is a response of the immune system to injury or infection and is a part of the body’s repair process. Numerous studies have demonstrated the unique advantages of acupuncture in addressing chronic pain. This therapy is not only characterized by its multifaceted mechanisms of action, low risk of side effects, and long-term treatment effectiveness, but also provides comprehensive therapeutic benefits. This article aims to review the latest research developments in the treatment of chronic pain with acupuncture, especially focusing on mechanisms based on immune-inflammatory responses, to pave new pathways for the application of acupuncture in the management of chronic pain.
