Discussion on the research idea of fire needle scale from the characteristics of the acupuncture sensation scale
Acupuncture sensation is an important information for clinical treatment and scientific research of acupuncture and moxibustion.There are differences between reflecting the curative effect and evaluating the curative effect.Deqi response is not the only way to produce clinical efficacy.Acupuncture sensation scale is a tool for quantifying Deqi response,and Deqi response is an important basis forjudging the rise and fall of positive qi,the change of severity of disease and the speed of taking effect.The purpose of using acupuncture sensation scale is to show the phenomenon of Deqi response qualitatively and quantitatively,so as to make it a clear and controllable research condition in clinical research.Fire needle therapy was first published in the Huangdi Neijing.At present,the commonly used acupuncture sensation scale is only suitable for the evaluation of the Deqi response of filiform needle and electroacupuncture,and has great limitations in quantifying Deqi response of fire needle.This paper combed the existing scale of needle sensation,puts forward the problems in the evaluation of fire needle sensation,and preliminarily explored the research direction of constructing an evaluation tool closely combined with the characteristics of fire needle therapy by constructing a fire needle sensation questionnaire for investigation.
