Abstract

By organizing and classifying the literatures related to acupuncture-moxibustion at Jiaji (EX-B 2) points in treating intervertebral disc herniation (IDH) published before December 31, 2013, to summarize the application status and features of Jiaji (EX-B 2) points. It’s found that its most favorable indication is IDH. It also further analyzed the action mechanism of acupuncture-moxibustion at Jiaji (EX-B 2) points in treating IDH, and brought up some ideas to highlight the further study.
