Features: This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the etiology, pathogenesis, diagnostic key points, TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment, clinical classification of syndromes, acupoint selection, and acupuncture therapy for 66 neurological diseases. It includes explanations, acupoint diagrams, and practical experiences. The book primarily uses modern medical methods for disease diagnosis, applies TCM syndrome differentiation to identify specific syndrome types for each disease, lists acupoint prescriptions based on syndrome types, and provides acupoint diagrams and interpretations of the prescriptions. Additionally, in the acupuncture technique section for each disease, detailed descriptions of acupoint manipulation methods, directions, depth, patient positioning, needle retention time, and treatment courses are provided. In the [Practical Experiences] section, the therapeutic effects of acupuncture therapy for the disease, the best timing for treatment, needle application procedures, and post-needle care are described. This book not only introduces acupuncture and moxibustion experience-based therapies but also selects and introduces other therapies such as drug blockades and traditional Chinese medicine for diseases where acupuncture and moxibustion are ineffective or yield poor results. The acupoint prescriptions, blockade 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. It holds significant practical value for medical professionals engaged in clinical acupuncture practice.
