According to domestic statistics, 75% of stroke survivors have different degrees of hemiplegia. By the end of 1987, there were1180,000 patients with physical disabilities due to brain lesions in China. Because these patients are paralyzed for life, they are trying to take care of themselves for the rest of their lives, drinking enough bitter tears and eating enough bitter fruit. When a great doctor treats a disease, he must be calm, have no desire or desire, show great compassion first, and swear to save suffering with spirit, be a great doctor, and not be a thief with spirit. Therefore, at the sight of such a patient, I feel very uncomfortable and sad, and I am not qualified for big doctor. So I made up my mind to read widely, study wholeheartedly and work hard day and night to complete my mission. From June 5438 to June 2006 10, the theory of eight-character acupuncture was confirmed and proved to be extremely effective in clinic. It's great that varus foot can be corrected in two days. Write a book at once to help future students learn, so that all medical practitioners have the ability to relieve the suffering of hemiplegic patients. In March, 2007, eight-character needling was officially published by China Medical Ancient Books Publishing House. In April, 2007, he began training in Beijing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine for the whole country. Every time, students from Sweden, Switzerland, Japan, South Korea, the United States, Canada, Singapore, Hongkong, Taiwan Province Province and other countries and regions participated. At present, three issues have been successfully held.
Eight-character acupuncture is a new acupuncture therapy with subcutaneous, directional, yin and yang and reinforcing and reducing as the core, which has special effects on sequelae of stroke. It is a clinical acupuncture theory with breakthrough progress in the whole acupuncture field, which is developed on the basis of ancient skin theory of acupuncture, modern needle retention method, needle embedding method and thread embedding method, and on the basis of Yin and Yang theory of traditional Chinese medicine, reinforcing and reducing method of acupuncture, meridian theory, dynamic balance theory and body wall and viscera related theory.
The curative effect of acupuncture depends on the reinforcing and reducing methods of acupuncture. Acupuncture reinforcing and reducing manipulation is the main means to produce reinforcing and reducing effect, and it is also the main measure to promote the balance between yin and yang and restore health. In the long-term medical practice, ancient acupuncturists created and summarized seven simple and two compound reinforcing and reducing methods: one is twisting reinforcing and reducing. Thumb clockwise forward, small twist angle, slow frequency and light strength; On the other hand, the thumb is counterclockwise backward, with large twisting angle, fast frequency and heavy force. Second, interpolation and thinning. First shallow, then deep, and then re-insert light lifting, with small lifting range and slow frequency as the supplement; On the contrary, the first deep and then shallow is diarrhea, and it is easy to insert and lift, with a wide range and fast frequency. Three words: reinforcing diarrhea due to illness. Slow needle feeding, less twisting and fast needle discharging make up for it; Fast needle insertion, more twisting, slow needle withdrawal is diarrhea. Four words: to meet and reduce. The needle tip pricks along the meridian in the direction of the meridian; The needle tip pricks and purges against the direction of meridian circulation. Fifth, regulating breath and reinforcing diarrhea. When the patient exhales, the needle is inserted, and when the patient inhales, the needle is taken out as a supplement; Needle when inhaling, needle diarrhea when exhaling. Six days: opening, closing and reinforcing. Quickly press the needle hole to fill the needle when the needle is out; Shake the needle hole when pulling out the needle, but don't press it immediately when you have diarrhea. Seventh, make up for diarrhea. An acupuncture technique that does not reinforce diarrhea but only aims at getting qi. The compound reinforcing and reducing method is to burn mountain fires and let the weather cool.
Although there are the above nine kinds of single and compound reinforcing and reducing methods, there is nothing they can do to treat stroke hemiplegia. These manipulations are the reinforcing and reducing of an acupoint, and the position of yin and yang has never been known. It is only an individual expression, but ignores the whole of yin and yang. Good diagnosis, check the color and pulse first, don't say anything about yin and yang. The inner and outer sides of the upper and lower limbs of the human body are divided into yin and yang, and the meridians of the upper and lower limbs are divided into yin and yang, but why is acupuncture not divided into yin and yang? When you are a doctor, if you don't distinguish between reality and reality, you can't distinguish between yin and yang, and you can't be a freak! For many years, this is the fundamental reason why the effect of acupuncture on hemiplegia is not obvious. The ancients said: "In fact, diarrhea, deficiency is tonic, deficiency is not empty, so reinforcing diarrhea when acupuncture is the fundamental principle." However, when acupuncture hemiplegic limbs, no doctor can distinguish between deficiency and excess. It's just that there is no distinction between yin and yang on one acupoint, and the wrong reinforcing and reducing action is implemented without distinguishing deficiency. This leads to the disadvantages of the coexistence of deficiency and excess, which violates the principle that acupuncture treatment cannot coexist with deficiency and excess. Therefore, it is necessary to add another item called reinforcing and reducing yin and yang, which is ten items.
Eight-character acupuncture puts forward the viewpoint of reinforcing and reducing yin and yang, thus determining ten methods of reinforcing and reducing acupuncture, which makes up for the deficiency of acupuncture clinical therapeutics. Corrected the wrong method of treating hemiplegia by acupuncture, reinforcing and reducing regardless of yin and yang. Treating hemiplegia by reinforcing and reducing yin and yang has a miraculous effect of one needle and one movement. Created a miracle of acupuncture treatment of stroke hemiplegia.
The eight-character acupuncture method summarized by subcutaneous, directional, yin and yang and reinforcing and reducing is a unique acupuncture method specially used to treat stroke hemiplegia after decades of acupuncture clinic. It makes up for the deficiency of acupuncture technology in traditional Chinese medicine and is the savior of stroke hemiplegia patients, which is worth carrying forward.
Ancient doctors comprehensively and systematically discussed the scientificity and correctness of the eight-character acupuncture method of "subcutaneous, directional, yin and yang, reinforcing and reducing" from the physiological and pathological angles. It laid a reliable theoretical foundation for the formation of the eight-character theory of acupuncture and moxibustion. It points out the direction for the development of the eight-character theory of acupuncture. It laid a solid theoretical foundation for the emergence of the eight-character theory of acupuncture and moxibustion. This is a reliable theoretical guarantee that the eight-character acupuncture can enhance the body's resistance to evil, regulate yin and yang, adjust the balance of the body, and promote the recovery of diseases and the rehabilitation of the body.
Eight-character acupuncture, hemiplegic three-three-nine acupuncture, twelve-god acupuncture and yin-yang reinforcing and reducing techniques, which are unheard of in the acupuncture field, are the essence of my acupuncture clinic for forty years and the representative works of contemporary acupuncture theory.
"Those who are deficient in yin and yang should not be stabbed, and those who are stabbed are not enough." Based on this conclusion, the 339 acupuncture method for treating hemiplegia is put forward. According to the principle that "bones and muscles gather in joints", the word orientation is determined. "Samuel, shallow thorn. The disease of collaterals, stab it left and right, stab it left and right, and stab it vertically and horizontally. " It provides the basis for the word subcutaneous. Based on forty years' clinical experience, twelve-god needles, such as "stretching your fingers and raising your feet", have been found, which have played an important role in the treatment of hemiplegia.
At this point, acupuncture theories such as subcutaneous, directional, yin-yang and reinforcing-reducing eight-character acupuncture, yin-yang reinforcing-reducing acupuncture, hemiplegic 339 acupuncture and special effect twelve-spirit acupuncture have been formed. Brought good news to hemiplegic patients. It has made great contributions to the whole human health.
Eight-character needle, hemiplegia needle, twelve-spirit needle and yin-yang reinforcing-reducing needle are new special acupuncture methods specially used to treat stroke hemiplegia. It is not only easy to learn, but also easy to master. Therefore, post-scholars are very interested and easy to popularize. This kind of acupuncture is advanced, novel and creative, with high practical value and reliable curative effect. The treatment of sequela of apoplexy is a pearl in the field of acupuncture. Therefore, the figure-of-eight needling method has broad development prospects.
The so-called hemiplegia refers to the syndrome with central limb paralysis as the main clinical manifestation caused by various hemiplegia incentives for a long time. Clinically, it is the sequela caused by subarachnoid hemorrhage, cerebral hemorrhage, epidural hemorrhage, subdural hemorrhage, cerebral thrombosis, cerebral embolism, lacunar cerebral infarction, transient ischemic attack, intracranial venous sinus thrombosis and cerebral venous thrombosis. But it does not include paralysis, hemiplegia and paraplegia caused by spinal cord injury. Nor does it include cerebral palsy caused by brain hypoplasia. Modern medicine cannot solve the sequelae of hemiplegia caused by central nervous system injury.
Modern medicine believes that damaged nerve cells cannot be replenished by regeneration. However, nerve fibers in the central nervous system can regenerate after peripheral nerve fibers are cut off, and nerve cells can also increase the number of dendrites through germination. But the nerve cells must be intact. When brain nerve cells are necrotic, nerve fibers cannot regenerate, but nerve fibers in surrounding healthy tissues can grow lateral branches for nerve reinnervation, that is, the reconstruction of the central nervous system. Nerve cell activator, brain metabolism activator and anti-free radical therapy are used clinically. Although it cannot regenerate necrotic nerve cells and their fibers, it can promote the development of nerve cells in healthy brain tissue and grow collateral branches for nerve reinnervation. Therefore, we should use various methods to stimulate nerve cells in the motor pathway and adjust their excitability in order to obtain correct motor output.
At the same time, modern medicine thinks that any stimulus that can make the nerve cells in subthreshold excited state change into excited state is called facilitation stimulus, and the process of responding to facilitation stimulus is called facilitation stimulus, which improves the excitability of nerve cells. Then, facilitation technology has become a hemiplegia treatment method to regulate the excitability of nerve cells at the cellular level.
According to modern medical epistemology and acupuncture theory of traditional Chinese medicine, combined with 40 years of clinical experience, the eight-character acupuncture method of treating hemiplegia with one needle effective, step by step every day and even one needle active is summarized. In the process of saving lives and letting them exercise by themselves, add a figure-eight acupuncture to activate treatment. Generally, 0-level muscle strength can be restored to 4 or 5 in 5 days, and then rehabilitation exercise can be carried out. It is a great pioneering work in the treatment of hemiplegia in the world. According to the principle of "joint gathering" in ancient Chinese medicine and the grading standard of modern medical muscle strength, complete paralysis without muscle contraction is 0-level muscle strength, and mild muscle contraction without movement is 1 level muscle strength. Therefore, I think the treatment of hemiplegia is mainly to solve the two major problems of joint movement and muscle contraction, which laid the foundation for the formation of eight-character acupuncture.
Modern medicine believes that after brain nerve cells are injured, the motor nerve cells in the motor nucleus of intracranial nerve and the anterior horn of spinal cord gray matter are out of control, resulting in limb paralysis in the corresponding parts. Because nerve cells can't regenerate, paralysis caused by brain nerve cell necrosis can't be cured, and the recovery of hemiplegia is still a medical problem in the world. Due to the limitation of this fixed mode, the treatment of stroke in large and small hospitals in society is nothing more than taking a series of measures such as anti-brain edema, anti-free radicals, activating nerve cells, activating brain metabolism, and controlling blood pressure within 1 week or 2 weeks, but it can only make patients awake, have stable vital signs, and have normal diet and defecation. As for the left hemiplegia, there is nothing to do. The only way out is to let the patient leave the hospital and exercise by himself, so that it can recover automatically. Excuse me, how to exercise the muscle strength of level 0? Isn't it just empty talk to let him exercise by himself? As a result, patients can only stay in bed for a long time and cannot recover, or they can't take care of themselves, which greatly reduces the quality of life. Although his life is saved, he can only be a basket case. Suffering alone, family members are implicated, which brings great burden to society and family.
In the clinical treatment of stroke sequelae, I denied the fixed mode of modern medicine and adopted the "1+7" activated rehabilitation treatment scheme. Within five days after the vital signs are stable, use the eight-character needle, hemiplegic needle 339 and twelve-god needle, once a day 1 time for five consecutive days, activate the nerve cells that have lost their functions, restore the muscle strength of the limbs from 0 to 4 or 5, and then let the patients exercise on their own, which is called "1". Then, seven methods are used for rehabilitation, such as symptomatic specific medicine, proper diet, proper physical exercise, electric excitation regulation therapy, hemiplegia rehabilitation tincture external application massage therapy, medicine thread implantation therapy and acupoint injection therapy, which are called "7". Using "1+7" activation rehabilitation treatment scheme to treat stroke hemiplegia, the curative effect is excellent, which is incomparable to western medicine. It makes up the deficiency of acupuncture clinical therapeutics, fills in the blank of acupuncture treatment of stroke hemiplegia, and corrects the long-term misunderstanding of acupuncture treatment of stroke hemiplegia. Clinical observation shows that within two years, the cure rate of hemiplegic patients without muscle atrophy and joint deformity is 70%, and the effective rate is 100%, which brings good news and hope to hemiplegic patients and is another new milestone in acupuncture treatment of hemiplegia.
