Features: This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnostic key points, TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment, classification of clinical syndromes, acupuncture points, and acupuncture therapy for 66 neurological diseases. It also includes explanations, acupuncture point diagrams, and practical experiences. The book primarily uses modern medical methods for disease diagnosis, applies TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment to identify specific syndrome types for each disease, lists acupuncture point prescriptions based on syndrome types, and provides diagrams and interpretations of each point. Additionally, in the acupuncture technique section for each disease, detailed descriptions of the acupuncture technique, direction, depth, patient position, needle retention time, and treatment course are provided. In the [Practical Experiences] section, the therapeutic effects of acupuncture on the disease, the best time for treatment, needle application, and post-needle care are described. This book not only introduces the empirical acupuncture and moxibustion therapies but also selects and introduces other therapies such as drug blockage and traditional Chinese medicine for diseases where acupuncture and moxibustion are ineffective or yield poor results. The acupuncture point prescriptions, blockage therapies, and traditional Chinese medicine formulas in this book are all clinically tested and proven methods, making it a highly practical reference book for clinicians working in acupuncture and moxibustion.
