Sphygmology is a 2000-year-old method that is still used in some traditional medicine systems, mainly Iranian, Chinese and Ayurveda. Ibn Sina is one of the most popular physicians in the history of Sphygmology, who had made great contributions to this method, but few meticulous studies have been made on his concepts. In this article, his standpoints on Pulsology are studied. Ibn Sina has mentioned 10 parameters for pulse palpation, and 13 compound pulses, as well. Besides, some pulse patterns applicable for differentiating similar diseases have been introduced. Nowadays some concepts on pulse patterns, such as pulse change in sleep and pregnancy have been studied; but unfortunately many of the ideas on Pulsology have not yet been examined. Sphygmology, as an accessible and inexpensive means, having a substantial diagnosis yield, has been accepted by the people since its rise, and its development over centuries ago. Although some new instruments have been innovated, which can measure different parameters of pulse, yet sphygmology can be one of the most commonly usable diagnostic methods in future, not only applicable by cardiologists but also by all the physicians.
脉学是一种有着2000年历史的方法，至今仍在一些传统医学体系中使用，主要是伊朗、中国和阿育吠陀医学体系。伊本·西那是脉学史上最著名的医生之一，他对这种方法做出了巨大贡献，但对他的概念却鲜有细致研究。本文对他在脉学方面的观点进行了研究。伊本·西那提到了10个脉诊参数，以及13种复合脉象。此外，还介绍了一些适用于鉴别相似疾病的脉象模式。如今，一些关于脉象模式的概念，如睡眠和妊娠时的脉象变化，已经得到研究；但遗憾的是，许多关于脉学的观点尚未得到检验。脉学作为一种便捷且廉价的手段，具有较高的诊断价值，自其兴起并在几个世纪前发展以来，一直为人们所接受。尽管已经发明了一些新仪器，可以测量脉象的不同参数，但脉学仍可能成为未来最常用的诊断方法之一，不仅心脏病专家可以使用，所有医生都可以使用。
