Pain relief is a puzzle in medicine. No possible single theory can give a satisfactory explanation of the mechanism of acupuncture analgesia. Various theories have been advanced but none is acceptable-even to the proponents themselves. In this paper a combination theory is used to try to explain the possible mechanism by using the 'specific receptors theory', 'gate-control theory', 'electro-interference theory' and the most recent 'endorphin-release theory'.
疼痛缓解是医学中的一个难题。没有任何单一的理论可以对针刺镇痛的机制给出满意的解释。各种理论都已经提出，但没有一种是可以接受的——即使是对其支持者来说也是如此。在本文中，使用“特定受体理论”、“门控理论”、“电干扰理论”和最近的“内啡肽释放理论”，采用组合理论来尝试解释可能的机制。
