Research progress of magnetic resonance imaging in acupuncture treatment
At present,acupuncture is widely used in clinical treatment and preventive health care,and has become a unique treatment system.However,the recognition of acupuncture efficacy in the international medical community is still controversial.How to objectively and scientifically explore the quantification and standardization of acupuncture treatment is the research focus in the field of acupuncture in recent years.As a modem science and technology,magnetic resonance imaging technology can not only show the micro-morphological structure and its functional changes to provide clear and objective clinical information and visual basis for acupuncture and moxibustion of traditional Chinese medicine,but also reflect the relationship between acupuncture and moxibustion treatment and central system to confirm the scientific nature of acupuncture and moxibustion therapy.This article summarizes the application advantages of magnetic resonance imaging technology in reflecting the therapeutic effect of acupuncture and moxibustion,acupuncture manipulation quantification,and acupuncture treatment mechanism,and explores new goals and new methods to improve the efficacy of acupuncture and moxibustion.
