Theoretical Discussion on Use of Fire Needling Therapy for Promoting Yang and Unblocking Meridians in Prevention and Treatment of Chronic Migraine
Yang Stagnation and meridian obstruction are important pathogenesis factors in the development of chronic migraine.Initially,the Yang stagnation is superficial and intangible,but as the condition persists,it can lead to tangible blood stasis and meridian obstruction.This study proposes that fire needling therapy can prevent and treat chronic migraine by promoting Yang and unblocking meridians.Promoting Yang refers to dispersing the constrained Yang in the head,which can be achieved by expelling external pathogens and tonifying internal deficiencies.Unblocking meridians involves resolving the blood stasis caused by prolonged illness,utilizing both warming and needling techniques.The fire needling therapy has significant advantages in prevention and treatment of chronic migraine.
