针刺辅助治疗脓毒症:优势,不足与对策
Acupuncture as an adjunctive therapy for sepsis:Advantages,limitations,and strategies
摘要
Abstract
Acupuncture is a traditional medical therapy widely validated in scientific research.Recent advancements have deepened our understanding of their mechanisms,particularly in the regulation of inflammatory responses.In recent years,with in-depth research on the mechanisms through which acupuncture reg-ulates inflammation,scientific studies on the use of acupuncture for sepsis have also been conducted.This paper reviews relevant studies to summarize the clinical efficacy and mechanisms of acupuncture in treating sepsis and analyzes the current limitations,potential advantages,and optimization strategies for acupuncture as an adjunctive therapy.Based on the findings of basic research,we found that acupuncture regulates immune-inflammatory responses and the autonomic nervous system,offering crucial insights that serve as the primary scientific basis for acupuncture in sepsis treatment.In clinical research,results from multiple randomized controlled trials indicate that acupuncture is an effective adjuvant therapy for sepsis,which alleviates multi-organ dysfunction,reduces mortality,and enhances the quality of life.However,acupuncture for sepsis has limitations,such as incomplete scientific issues,insufficient clini-cal application,and lack of standardization.Currently,acupuncture primarily serves as adjunctive therapy and cannot be used independently for the treatment of sepsis.Therefore,we believes that high-quality research is needed to elevate the therapeutic status of acupuncture in sepsis management,and we should promote the standardization of its clinical application to fully leverage the potential value of acupuncture for sepsis.关键词
