Current status and reflections on the development of acupuncture-moxibustion technical specification in China
Acupuncture-moxibustion technical specifications are a crucial component of the acupuncture-moxibustion standardization system. This study reviews the current development status of acupuncture-moxibustion technical specifications in China
and analyzes their classifications and characteristics. It is found that the scope and classification of acupuncture technical specifications remain unclear in academic circles
and the development process faces numerous difficulties and challenges. Therefore
this study proposes the need for a systematic approach to the planning and management of acupuncture technical specifications based on a clear definition of acupuncture techniques and categories. Additionally
it suggests conducting methodological research on the development of acupuncture technical specifications and promoting the rational application of the consensus method in this process.
