Compatibility of acupoints is an important component of acupuncture prescription, and it is the key point to achieve the therapeutic effect of acupuncture. Antagonism and synergism are held as two possible results of acupoints compatibility. Recent literatures are summarized and analyzed in this article. And clinical trials and laboratorial studies indicate that antagonism is a result of acupoints compatibility. However, since the relative studies are not enough, extensive attentions are not aroused among researchers. Therefore, in the future studies, based on specificity of acupoints, interdisciplinary research methods should be adopted to explore the effect of antagonism of acupoint compatibility on enhancing the clinical therapeutic effect and expound the mechanism of acupuncture and moxibustion. It is considered to be a significant topic which is worth to be deeply studied.
穴位配伍是针灸处方的重要组成部分，也是实现针灸治疗效果的关键。拮抗和协同被认为是穴位配伍的两种可能结果。本文对近期文献进行了总结和分析。临床试验和实验室研究表明，拮抗是穴位配伍的一种结果。然而，由于相关研究不够充分，尚未引起研究者的广泛关注。因此，在未来的研究中，应基于穴位的特异性，采用跨学科研究方法，探讨穴位配伍拮抗作用对提高临床疗效的影响，阐明针灸作用机制。这被认为是一个值得深入研究的重要课题。
