Disease spectrum and strategy of acupuncture and moxibustion in treatment of encephalopathy
The paper presents the summary of the spectrum of encephalopathy treated with acupuncture and moxibustion and the analysis on the existing questions in its clinical research
and proposes the potential strategies on treatment of encephalopathy with acupuncture and moxibustion. The spectrum of encephalopathy includes 23 diseases of central nervous system (superspinal center) and 33 kinds of mental and behavioral disorders. There are three problems in clinical research of acupuncture and moxibustion for encephalopathy
i.e. lack of high-quality clinical evidences
inadequate support from theoretic study of TCM and limited study on the rules of treatment. Hence
the author proposes five strategies on the treatment of encephalopathy with acupuncture and moxibustion
i.e. ① stimulating the peripheral nerve trunk associated with brain dysfunction
triggering the interaction between peripheral and central nerves and emphasizing the autonomic rehabilitation training to promote the reorganization of brain function; ② improving the cerebral circulation and metabolism by stimulating the trigeminal nerve and sphenopalatine ganglion; ③ stimulating the sites with high-dense distribution of peripheral nerve endings and the large projection area in the somatosensory region of the brain to induce strong brain responses
which may adjust the abnormal operation of the default mode network in the resting state; ④ stimulating the vagus nerve to improve the mood
suppressing the abnormal firing of brain neurons and stimulating the sites with the stellate ganglion distributed to modulate the hypothalamic function; ⑤ delivering the therapeutic regimens in association with the specific conditions and symptoms
and the classification of the physical signs on the base of the treatment of encephalopathy.
