2021版《针灸技术操作规范(第2部分):头针》头穴线定位疑析OA北大核心CSTPCDMEDLINE

In order to better promote the popularization and application of the national standard of Standardized Manipulations of Acupuncture and Moxibustion——Part 2:Scalp Acupuncture(GB/T 21709.2-2021),and to provide reference for the improvement and formulation of the next version,in the present paper,the differences about the position descriptions of two scalp acupuncture lines Dingnie Qianxiexian(anterior oblique line of vertex-temporal,MS6)and Dingpangxian 1(lateral line 1 of vertex,MS8)between the new(GB/T 21709.2-2021)and old(GB/T 21709.2-2008)versions of the national standards as well as the International Standard Proposal of Scalp Acupuncture Point were compared,and the disputes still existing in the 2021 version were discussed.Although the 2021 version has made relevant amendments in some controversial or non-standard contents in the 2008 version,there are still some inappropriate contents.Firstly,only the relevant revision in the attached figure 3 was mentioned in the preface,without mention of the word revision about MS6 in both English and Chinese,but actually"Chengguang"(BL6)has been changed to"Tongtian"(BL7).Secondly,The attached figure does not match the word description.There is a revision in the attached figure and text at the same time,in which the text description of Qianding(GV21)of the MS6 has not been revised,but the front Shencong(EX-HN1)in the attached figure has been changed to GV21,which is obviously inconsistent with the positioning of the MS6 according to the WHO international standard,and the basis for the revision is not known.These revisions of the 2021 version of national standard on the position of the two scalp acupoint lines in the 2008 version are inconsistent,which may make many colleagues in the acupuncture field confused.Thus,further revision is necessary.
