时间节律与针刺镇痛机制相关研究

大量的临床和实验研究证实,人和实验动物的痛阈都具有明显的昼夜节律。与针刺镇痛各环节相关的神经递质、激素分泌水平、神经元活动也同样具有昼夜节律,针刺在发挥镇痛功效的同时,也具有整复节律的作用。从时间节律特征来探索针刺镇痛机制提供了崭新的视角和思路,可望取得新的重要进展。

The literature review of the analgesia mechanism of acupuncture and temporal rhythm

Abundant clinical and experimental researches have verified that the pain threshold of human beings and animals possess a significant characteristic of circadian rhythm. Furthermore,the secreted level neurotransmitters,hormones involved in acupuncture analgesia and neural activities also have circadian rhythm. The acupuncture therapy not only plays an analgesia role,but also regulates the circadian rhythm function. Exploring acupuncture analgesia mechanism from time characteristics could provide a brand new sight and idea,which could get an important progress.
