Irritable bowel syndrome(IBS)is one of the most common functional gastrointestinal disorder,and its pathophysiological mechanisms are very complicated.In recent years,the role of gut microbiota in IBS-related research has been significant.Dysbiosis of gut microbiota,changes in microbial composition and diversity,reduction of beneficial bacteria,and increase of harmful bacteria contribute to the development and progression of the disease.Therefore,treatment strategies targeting gut microbiota have gradually increased.Meanwhile,due to unsatisfactory results with medication intervention,acupuncture and moxibustion has garnered attention as an alternative therapy because of its wide application and minimal adverse effects.Studies have shown that acupuncture can regulate intestinal function and improve symptoms of IBS by influencing gut microbiota.This study aims to discuss the relationship between gut microbiota and IBS,and to explore the mechanism of acupuncture treatment for IBS from the perspective of modulating gut microbiota.
