Research progress on mechanism of acupuncture in treating functional constipation
Acupuncture treatment for functional constipation(FC)is characterized by precise efficacy,rapid on-set of action in the early stages,long-term stable effects,and overall regulation.This paper reviews recent literatures on acupuncture treatment for FC,indicating that acupuncture acts from multiple perspectives and pathways,including promoting intestinal motility,regulating intestinal microbiota,modulating the brain-gut axis,alleviating intestinal inflam-mation,and improving rectal hyposensitivity.Future research could delve into the mechanical sensation conduction mechanisms of acupuncture in improving rectal hyposensitivity,identify key intestinal microbiota genera and metabolic characteristics regulated by acupuncture,explore the network relationships among different mechanisms,and clarify the differential mechanisms of various acupuncture treatment protocols to optimize clinical therapy and enhance the clinical efficacy of acupuncture for FC.
