The data of 44 scalp acupuncture schools are collected to analyze their commonalities in theoretical foundations

needling sites

and needle numbers. It also explores the primary issues and solutions involved in unifying scalp acupuncture protocols

providing a reference for standardization and unification in scalp acupuncture protocol.
