Research exploring the mechanism of acupuncture has been a hot topic in medicine. Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) research is a noninvasive and extensive method, which is aimed at the research of the mechanism of acupuncture. Researchers use fMRI technologies to inspect the acupuncture process. The authors reviewed the application of rs-fMRI in acupuncture research in recent 10 years from the aspects of studying acupoints, subjects, acupuncture methods, and intensities. The results found that the application of rs-fMRI in acupuncture research mainly includes research on the onset mechanism of acupuncture treatment; visual evidence of diagnosis and treatment of dominant diseases; efficacy assessments; physiological mechanism of acupoint stimulation; and specific visualization of acupoints.
探索针灸机制的研究一直是医学领域的热门话题。静息态功能磁共振成像(rs-fMRI)研究是一种无创且广泛应用的方法,旨在研究针灸机制。研究人员使用功能磁共振成像技术来观察针灸过程。作者从穴位、受试者、针灸方法和强度等方面回顾了近10年rs-fMRI在针灸研究中的应用。结果发现,rs-fMRI在针灸研究中的应用主要包括针灸治疗起效机制的研究;优势病种诊疗的可视化证据;疗效评估;穴位刺激的生理机制;以及穴位的特异性可视化。
