Yizhi weishu

(the frequency of needling depending on the therapeutic effect) is one of the core items in the

jingjin

theory (muscle regions of meridians)

but its relevant basic research is limited. On the basis of the preliminary research on

jingjin

theory and receptors

the article analyzes the association of thermoreceptor with "tendon spasm by cold and tendon flaccidity by heat

nociceptor with "patient's attention drawn by pain" and mechanoceptor with "spinal curvature

spastic or flaccid muscles and tendons

failure to

erect". It is proposed that the dose-effect mechanism of

jingjin

therapy should be specially explored

aiming to provide the new approach to the modern research of

yizhi weishu

and support the development of the diagnosis and treatment system of TCM in

jingjin

diseases.
