Bee venom (BV) is a complex natural toxin that contains various pharmaceutical compounds. Bee venom acupuncture (BVA), involving a BV injection into a certain acupuncture point, has been utilized to relieve a range of pain conditions. Regardless of whether pain is caused by disease or injury, if not effectively treated, pain can exert a detrimental effect on all aspects of life. In the past decade, many researchers have investigated the anti-nociceptive effects of BVA through clinical use and experimental evaluation. This report reviews the existing knowledge on the analgesic effects of BVA, focusing on musculoskeletal pain, inflammatory pain and neuropathic pain, and its analgesic mechanisms. Although further clinical trials are needed to clinical application of experimental results, this review will contribute to the standardization and generalization of BVA.
蜂毒（BV）是一种复杂的天然毒素，含有各种药物化合物。蜂毒针灸（BVA）是将蜂毒注射到特定穴位，用于缓解各种疼痛病症。无论疼痛是由疾病还是损伤引起的，如果不进行有效治疗，疼痛都会对生活的各个方面产生不利影响。在过去的十年中，许多研究人员通过临床应用和实验评估研究了 BVA 的抗伤害作用。本报告综述了 BVA 在肌肉骨骼疼痛、炎症性疼痛和神经性疼痛方面的镇痛作用及其镇痛机制的现有知识。尽管需要进一步的临床试验将实验结果应用于临床，但本综述将有助于 BVA 的标准化和推广。
