Two kinds of divided methods currently used in clinic and their unified new method on the scalp acupuncture were discussed. Through comparing with the nomination and selecting methods on the stimulating location, the characteristics of the two kinds of divided methods on the location of scalp acupuncture were pointed out respectively. The advantage of the method with scalp projection areas is that the nomination is easy to associate and remember, however its disadvantage is that the measurement on point-selecting is less reasonable. For the method with standard treatment lines, its measurement is more reasonable, but its nomination on the location is sophisticated and difficult to be associated and remembered, especially having more repeated lines. The new divided method of scalp acupuncture combines the advantages of the two methods in order to easily remember and freely apply through their unification, which is worth being popularized.
讨论了目前临床上使用的两种头皮针分区方法及其统一的新方法。通过比较刺激部位的命名和选取方法，分别指出了两种头皮针分区方法在定位上的特点。头皮投影区法的优点是命名易于联想和记忆，但其缺点是选穴测量不太合理。对于标准治疗线法，其测量更合理，但部位命名复杂，难以联想和记忆，尤其是重复线较多。头皮针新的分区方法结合了两种方法的优点，通过统一使其便于记忆和灵活应用，值得推广。
