From the perspectives of systems science and translational medicine

this study addresses key issues in acupuncture research

including insufficient elucidation of classical theories

inadequate synthesis of clinical efficacy patterns

and poor integration between basic research and clinical application

aiming to construct a closed-loop research system comprising 4 stages: "scientific decoding of classical theoretical frameworks

elaboration of clinical efficacy patterns

implementation of research outcomes

and iterative validation of TCM theories". This system emphasizes a clinically relevant problem-oriented approach

integrating multidisciplinary methods such as textual research

evidence-based evaluation

mechanistic studies

artificial intelligence

standard development

and outcome translation

aiming to bridge the translational pathway from theoretical understanding to clinical application. Taking the systematic research on "

Jing

-well points for prevention and treatment of encephalopathy" as an example

this study presents the entire process from theoretical origin tracing

therapeutic efficacy evaluation and mechanism analysis to standard conversion

providing an actionable theoretical framework and practical pathway for the scientific advancement

standardization

and translational application of acupuncture research.
