Abstract

Professor WU Zhong-chao's clinical experience of "dredging stagnation and collaterals" acupuncture for migraine is summarized. Professor WU proposes that occiput-nape dysfunction, meridians-tendons dysfunction and stagnation of collaterals due to obstruction of excess-evil could lead to migraine. As such, migraine is treated by comprehensive treatment of adjusting occiput-nape functional zone, relaxing meridians-tendons and blood-letting combined with fire acupuncture.

总结吴中朝教授“疏滞通络”治疗偏头痛的临证经验。认为枕项功能带异常、经筋功能失调、邪实壅闭导致郁滞络结引发偏头痛,临床采用调整枕项功能带、松解经筋、刺络放血结合火针通滞多种方法综合治疗偏头痛。.

Keywords: WU Zhong-chao; acupuncture and moxibustion; dredging stagnation and collaterals; famous doctor's experience; migraine.
