Guiding role of muscle region theory in acupuncture anesthesia

摘要

针刺麻醉是针灸体系的一部分, 它的发展推动着针灸理论的完善。经筋理论也是针灸体系的一部分, 它的主症决定了经筋理论在针刺麻醉临床应用中的指导地位。经筋分布与神经的相关性, 是经筋理论对针刺麻醉指导的基础; 同时, 针刺麻醉推动着经筋理论的不断完善。两者间存在从实践到理论, 再从理论到实践的循环发展关系, 符合辨证发展观。

Abstract

As a part of acupuncture system, acupuncture anesthesia can promote the development of acupuncture theory. Muscle region is also a part of acupuncture system and plays a guiding role in clinical application of acupuncture anesthesia. The correlation between the distribution of muscle regions and nerves acts as the substantial foundation of the guiding role. At the same time, acupuncture anesthesia has been promoting the continuous development of muscle region theory. The cyclic development relation between the two (practice-theory- practice) is consistent with the dialectical development view.
