Abstract

Professor HAN Wei 's clinical experience of acupuncture and moxibustion with Tongyang Xingshen (promoting yang and regaining consciousness) for adolescent depressive disorder is introduced. It is believed that the internal causes of adolescent depressive disorder are mostly emotional and physical factors, while the external causes are mainly social factors, and yang-qi stagnation and emotional disorder are the key pathogenesis. The key of acupuncture and moxibustion with Tongyang Xingshen is warming and regulating the governor vessel. The governor vessel acupoints at head, neck and back are selected. At head, Baihui (GV 20) and Yintang (GV 24+) are selected; at neck, Fengfu (GV 16) and Dazhui (GV 14) are selected; at back, Taodao (GV 13), Shenzhu (GV 12), Shendao (GV 11), Zhiyang (GV 9) and Jinsuo (GV 8) are selected. The combination of disease differentiation and syndrome differentiation should be highly valued, and the moxibustion with Tongyang and acupuncture with Xingshen should be used simultaneously, and the strong stimulation is suggested.

介绍韩为“通阳醒神”法针灸治疗青少年抑郁障碍的临床经验。认为本病内因多为情志和体质因素,外因为社会因素,阳气郁滞、神情失调为其关键病机。“通阳醒神”关键在于温通督脉,临床取头、颈、背部督脉组穴,头部取百会、印堂,颈部取风府、大椎,背部取陶道、身柱、神道、至阳、筋缩。强调辨病与辨证相结合,将“通阳”灸与“醒神”针并用,且重视强刺激。.
