综述了针灸治疗几种常见病症的方剂。这些情况包括下腰痛、坐骨神经痛、三叉神经痛、面神经麻痹、哮喘、恶心和呕吐、胃炎和痛经。研究发现，在许多情况下，传统用于治疗的穴位从西医的角度来看具有神经解剖学意义。从这一点上，人们可以假设一个可信的作用机制，即从当代西方医学的角度来看，针灸是如何达到其治疗效果的。这些作用机制包括用于治疗肌肉疼痛的肌肉内刺激和用于治疗神经疾病的神经刺激。交感神经节可能参与针刺治疗哮喘。躯体自主神经反射可能与针刺治疗胃炎有关。
The acupuncture treatment formulae for some common conditions are reviewed. These conditions include low back pain, sciatica, trigeminal neuralgia, facial nerve palsy, asthma, nausea and vomiting, gastritis and dysmenorrhoea. It is found that in many cases, the acupuncture points traditionally used for the treatment have a neuroanatomical significance from the viewpoint of Western medicine. And from that one can hypothesise a plausible mechanism of action as to how acupuncture achieves its therapeutic effects in terms of contemporary Western medicine. These mechanisms of action include intramuscular stimulation for treating muscular pain and nerve stimulation for treating neuropathies. The sympathetic ganglion may be involved in the acupuncture treatment of asthma. Somato-autonomic reflex may be responsible for the acupuncture effect on gastritis.
