With the worldwide use and modern development of acupuncture-moxibustion, there is disagreement on its basic definition. There has been an obstacle for clinical practice, research, and legislation. Considering this challenge, the World Federation of Acupuncture-Moxibustion Societies proposes to develop the definition and basic scope of acupuncture-moxibustion with a Delphi study.
A reactive Delphi method will be used to ask a group of experts to rate the relevance and clarity of a predesigned initial item list. This list was generated by the steering committee through a literature review and group discussion. Forty experts will be selected from many disciplines and continents to ensure appropriate representation. Predefined rules will be applied to modify the items until a consensus is achieved. After achieving the consensus on all items through the survey round, the steering committee will form the definition and basic scope of acupuncture-moxibustion by organizing a literal statement with a detailed explanation.
随着针灸在全球的应用和现代发展，其基本定义存在分歧。这给临床实践、研究和立法带来了障碍。鉴于这一挑战，世界针灸学会联合会提议通过德尔菲研究来制定针灸的定义和基本范围。
将采用反应性德尔菲法，让一组专家对预先设计的初始项目清单的相关性和清晰度进行评分。该清单由指导委员会通过文献综述和小组讨论生成。将从多个学科和各大洲挑选40名专家，以确保有适当的代表性。将应用预定义规则修改项目，直至达成共识。通过一轮调查就所有项目达成共识后，指导委员会将通过组织带有详细解释的文字陈述来形成针灸的定义和基本范围。
