A discussion of the merits of acupuncture therapy and a review of experiments that support the neurogenic mediation of acupuncture are presented. Case reports are included as examples of the therapeutic value of acupuncture in treatment of intestinal and musculoskeletal disorders in the horse. Statistical importance cannot be credited to the clinical experiences reported here because of the small number of cases. Hopefully, the clinical success reported will encourage continued investigation of the clinical efficacy and adjunctive value of acupuncture in the veterinary profession.
本文讨论了针灸疗法的优点，并回顾了支持针灸神经源性调节作用的实验。还纳入了病例报告，作为针灸在治疗马匹肠道和肌肉骨骼疾病方面治疗价值的实例。由于病例数量较少，此处报告的临床经验无法体现统计学意义。希望本文报告的临床成功案例能够鼓励兽医行业持续研究针灸的临床疗效和辅助价值。
