目的:阐述腧穴热敏化的规律及其临床应用。方法:从腧穴的热敏化特征与规律入手,论述腧穴热敏化新灸法及其临床应用。结果:(1)人体腧穴存在敏化态与静息态两种功能态,当人体发生疾病时能使体表腧穴发生敏化,敏化的类型多种多样,而腧穴热敏化是腧穴敏化的一种类型,处在敏化态的腧穴对外界相关刺激呈现腧穴特异性的“小刺激大反应”;(2)热敏化穴的最佳刺激为艾热,也是灸疗的最佳选穴,疗效远优于常规静息态腧穴的针灸疗法;(3)热敏化态腧穴在艾热刺激下极易激发灸性感传,临床疗效大幅度提高。结论:腧穴热敏化的提出完善和发展了“刺之要,气至而有效”的针灸理论。

Objective To expound rules of acupoint heat-sensitization and its clinical application.Methods Analyze and probe rules of acupoint heat-sensitization and its clinical application from the acupoint heat-sensitization phenomenon.Results(1)In the human being there are two functional states,sensitization state and rest state.When the human body has disease,acupoints on the body surface may be sensitized with various types of sensitization,and acupoint heat-sensitization is a type of acupoint sensitization.The sensitized acupoints show acupoint-specific “small stimulation inducing large response” for external relative stimulation.(2)Optimum stimulation for the heat-sensitized acupoint is moxibustion-heat,also it is the optimum point for moxibustion therapy,with a therapeutic effect far better than acupuncture and moxibustion at acupoints of routine rest state.(3)Heat-sensitized acupoints under moxibustion-heat stimulation very easily invigorates moxibustion sensation propagation along channels,greatly increasing clinical therapeutic effect.Conclusion Advancing the concept of acupoint heat-sensitization perfects and develops the theory of acupuncture and moxibustion,“Only reaches the needling sensation to the affected area,can the needling produce effects”.
