经络本质已从解剖学、电生理学、生物物理学和生物化学等方面进行了研究。经络本质的假说多种多样，但没有一种假说能真正反映中医的内在本质。经络本质的研究需要有整体的观点和创新的意识。任何关于经络本质的假说，开始都要从观察人体入手。第二，从经络的生理功能和病理变化出发，保持经络的本质;三是要以中医理论为基础，结合现代技术，深化对经络科学内涵的认识。四是理论研究要与临床实践紧密结合，以实际情况检验成果。最后，在研究中应注意负面结果，以更准确地揭示经络的真实的本质。
Meridian essence has been investigated through anatomy, electrophysiology, biophysics, and biochemistry. Various hypotheses of meridian essence exist, but no hypothesis can truly reflect the internal character of Chinese medicine (CM). The research of meridian essence requires a holistic viewpoint and innovative awareness. Initially, any hypothesis regarding meridian essence should begin with observation of the human body. Secondly, the research should arise from the meridians' physical functions and pathological changes, so as to maintain the fundamental nature of the meridians themselves. Thirdly, the research should be based upon the theory of CM, yet coupled with the integration of modern techniques to deepen our understanding of the scientific contents of meridians. Fourthly, theoretical research should be combined closely with clinical practice, in order to test the achievements in actual conditions. Lastly, more attention should be given to negative results in studies to more accurately discover the real essence of meridians.
