Image Study on Central Mechanism of Acupuncture at Fenglong Acupoint for Treating Mental Disorders Caused by"Phlegm"
Spirit disease is closely related to abnormal brain function,and abnormal spirit may be shown with dizziness,dizziness,deliri-um and other manifestations.Acupuncture at Fenglong acuoint,the Foot Yangming Stomach Meridian acuoint,has the effects of strength-ening the Spleen,resolving Phlegm,inducing Dampness,clearing Stomach Fire,and dredging the meridians(Taiyin and Yangming).After continuous refinement by later generations of medical practitioners,Fenglong acupoint has been used mainly for the treatment of Phlegm-induced delirious diseases,and the therapeutic effect has been remarkable.Based on functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI),arterial spin labeling(ASL),magnetic resonance spectroscopy(MRS),diffusion tensor imaging(DTI),and diffusion spin la-beling(DSP),Fenglong acupoint has been used for the treatment of Phlegm-induced spirit diseases.With such technologies as mag-netic resonance spectroscopy(MRS),diffusion tensor imaging(DTI),we can clearly understand the central brain effect mechanism,cerebral blood flow,cerebral metabolites,and the corresponding changes in white matter after acupuncture at Fenglong acupoints,enrich the application mechanism of Fenglong acupoints,provide visualization basis for clinical treatment of diseases,and provide theoretical basis for the treatment of psycho-inhibitory psychotic disorders,such as dementia,anxiety,depression,and other psychotic diseases,as well as eclampsia and madness by Chinese medicine acupuncture.It provides a theoretical basis for the treatment of psychoinhibitory psychosomatic diseases such as dementia,anxiety and depression,and psychoexcitatory psychosomatic diseases such as epilepsy and ma-nia by Chinese acupuncture.
