To explore the diagnosis and treatment of primary trigeminal neuralgia with acupuncture and moxibustion based on meridian sinew theory
Based on the collation and exploration of classical medical texts and modern research literature,it is hypothesized that the onset of primary trigeminal neuralgia is closely associated with the Sanyang meridian sinew.Treatment should therefore be approached from the perspective of meridian sinew theory,focusing on three aspects:"taking pain point as the target acupoint","guiding meridian sinew qi along the meridian course",and"regulating Yang qi to nourish meridian sinew and spirit".Direct application of these principles to the affected area of the me-ridian sinew may offer a new approach for clinical treatment of primary trigeminal neuralgia.
