The paper introduces the clinical experience of GAO Hong in treatment of tic disorder. GAO Hong believes that tic disorder results from the primary qi deficiency and mind disturbance. Acupuncture for cultivating the primary and regulating the mind is proposed specially for tic disorder. This acupuncture technique focuses on harmonizing and regulating governor vessel and conception vessel. In clinical practice, the conception vessel acupoints on the abdomen and the governor vessel acupoints on the head are selected particularly, e.g. Zhongwan (CV 12), Xiawan (CV 10), Qihai (CV 6) and Guanyuan (CV 4) on the abdomen; Baihui (GV 20), Shenting (GV 24), Benshen (GB 13) and Yintang (GV 24+) on the head. The needling sequence and the insertion depth are emphasized, which affect the curative effect and GV 20 is generally punctured first. Besides, considering to the type of disorder and the affected site, tic disorder is treated in view of both syndrome/pattern differentiation and symptom differentiation.
总结高宏治疗抽动障碍的临床经验。认为抽动障碍以元气亏虚为本，神失守位是病机关键，提出培元调神针法治疗抽动障碍。培元调神的主要环节在于和调任督二脉，临床取腹部任脉穴与头部督脉穴为主，腹部取中脘、下脘、气海、关元；头部取百会、神庭、本神、印堂等；强调针刺顺序、进针深度对疗效的影响，常取百会穴为第一针；临床还根据抽动障碍的证型与部位，采取辨证与辨症相结合治疗。.
