Treatment of postherpetic neuralgia from acupoint selection along the meridian based on root node specimen theo-ry
Acupuncture at the head and tail points of the meridians is one of the main means to treat post-herpetic neural-gia.It is based on the thinking of traditional Chinese medicine and combines the theory of meridian differentiation,acupoint selec-tion along the meridians,and root node specimen.In clinical practice,clinicians are required to accurately identify the pathogenic meridians,select and match the acupoints properly,and acupuncture techniques are accurate.Compared with traditional acupunc-ture,acupuncture at the head and tail points of the meridians has its unique advantages in the treatment of post-herpetic neural-gia,and its clinical effect is significant.This paper introduces the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia from acupoint selection a-long the meridian based on the theory of root node specimen combined with clinical cases.
