Abstract

It has become one of the major strategic directions to develop translational medicine and realize the stride leap from basic research to clinical application in the national biomedical field. In recent years, both basic and clinical researches of acupuncture and moxibustion have made landmark progress. However, the transformation of acupuncture and moxibustion techniques still faced with many difficulties, such as low conversion rate and high difficulty of transformation. In this article, we mainly made a preliminary discussion on the current situations of acupuncture and moxibustion transformation from the aspects of basic research content, evidence-based medicine and clinical trials, evaluation criteria for the conclusion of scientific research projects and transformation mode, put forward some existing problems in the transformation process, and proposed some corresponding countermeasures to the problems.

发展转化医学,实现从基础研究到临床应用的跨越,已成为国家生物医学领域的重大战略方向之一。近年来,针灸基础和临床研究都取得了里程碑式的进步,然而针灸转化仍面临转化率低、转化难度大等诸多困难。本研究主要从基础研究内容、循证医学与临床试验、科研项目结题评价标准及转化模式等方面对针灸的转化现状进行初步探讨,思考针灸转化过程中存在的问题,并进一步针对问题提出相应的对策。.

Keywords: Acupuncture and moxibustion; Current status and reflections; Scientific research achievements; Translational medicine.
