To summarize the research status and influencing factors of the time-effect of acupuncture and to explain and analyze the optimal effect timing of acupuncture, and provide reference for obtaining the best clinical therapeutic effect.
Literature regarding the studies of the time-effect of acupuncture published from January 2000 to August 2018 was searched, concluded and analyzed in CNKI, WANFANG, VIP and PubMed databases.
A total of 43 papers were included. The time-effect relationship of acupuncture was studied from various aspects: immediate effect, post-effect and total time-effect. The influencing factors of time-effect of acupuncture included needle retention time, acupoint types, number of acupoints and frequency of acupuncture treatment.
Even though preliminary achievements have been made in the study of the time-effect of acupuncture, there are many limitations and deficiency. These studies are mostly isolated and unsystematic, and the observation time of needle retention time and post-effect is not long enough to observe the exact best induction period, half-life period and residual effect period of acupuncture.In the future, we should combine the existing research experience and achievements to formulate a more reasonable research plan and observe the entire period of acupuncture in a longitudinal direction.
总结针刺时效的研究现状及影响因素，阐释并分析针刺的最佳效应时机，为获取最佳临床治疗效果提供参考。
检索中国知网、万方、维普及PubMed数据库中2000年1月至2018年8月发表的关于针刺时效研究的文献，并进行归纳分析。
共纳入43篇文献。从即时效应、后效应及总时效等多方面对针刺时效关系进行了研究。针刺时效的影响因素包括留针时间、穴位类型、穴位数量及针刺治疗频率。
针刺时效研究虽已取得初步成果，但仍存在诸多局限与不足。这些研究大多孤立且不系统，留针时间及后效应的观察时间不够长，难以观察到针刺确切的最佳诱导期、半衰期及残留效应期。未来应结合现有研究经验与成果，制定更合理的研究方案，纵向观察针刺的全过程。
