A recent study of patient-centered perspectives by Zhao , published in the , identified key facilitators and barriers that influence insomnia patients' choice of acupuncture therapy, offering insights for clinical practice and policy-making to enhance the integration of acupuncture therapy into comprehensive insomnia management. While acupuncture demonstrates unique advantages as a complementary medical approach, its broader adoption is hindered by complex multidimensional factors. This paper proposes a "dynamic balance model" encompassing the cultural, economic, and patient-provider trust dimensions, and emphasizes the need for synergistic optimization through cultural narrative transformation, institutional innovation, and digital empowerment. These strategies aim to facilitate the promotion of acupuncture for insomnia treatment and its global expansion.
赵最近发表的一项关于以患者为中心观点的研究,确定了影响失眠患者选择针灸疗法的关键促进因素和障碍,为临床实践和政策制定提供了见解,以加强针灸疗法融入综合失眠管理。虽然针灸作为一种补充医学方法具有独特优势,但其更广泛的应用受到复杂多维度因素的阻碍。本文提出了一个涵盖文化、经济和医患信任维度的“动态平衡模型”,并强调需要通过文化叙事转变、制度创新和数字赋能进行协同优化。这些策略旨在促进针灸用于失眠治疗及其全球推广。
