As a unique therapy in traditional Chinese medicine,the analgesic effect of press needle is not only based on the theory of Zang-Fu organs and meridians in traditional Chinese medicine,but also corresponds to the neurophysiological principles of modern medicine. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine,the pain is often caused by disharmony of Qi and blood,aswell as blockage of meridians,leading to pain due to lack of nourishment or blockage. Press needle stimulates acupoints,regulates Qi and blood,dredgesmeridians and moistens tendons and meridians through the skin-collaterals-defensive Qi-tendons,thus achieving the analgesic effect. The modern medical mechanisms mainly include the influence of acupuncture on the neuro-endocrine conduction pathway,cytokines and local connective tissue,producing analgesic,anti-inflammatory and soothing effects.
