Abstract

Professor LIANG Fan-rong's team from Chengdu University of TCM published Acupuncture as adjunctive therapy for chronic stable angina: a randomized clinical trial in JAMA Internal Medicine on July 29, 2019, which demonstrates that acupuncture as an adjunctive therapy is safety and effective for mild and moderate chronic stable angina. Sixteen experts at home and abroad conducted serious discussions on the research design, evaluation methods, principles and mechanisms, clinical significance and enlightenment of future acupuncture research, and provided practical suggestions for acupuncture and moxibustion to go global and gain international recognition.

成都中医药大学梁繁荣教授团队于2019年7月29日在JAMA内科子刊发表Acupuncture as adjunctive therapy for chronic stable angina: a randomized clinical trial(针刺辅助治疗慢性稳定型心绞痛随机临床试验)的论文,对针灸辅助治疗轻度、中度慢性稳定型心绞痛的安全性、有效性给予肯定。为此,海内外16位专家就该文的研究设计、评估方法、原理机制、临床意义及对未来针灸研究的启示进行了认真的讨论,并对针灸进一步走向世界、获得国际认可提供了一些切实可行的建议。.
