Abstract

Background: Pain management is a great burden on society; therefore, cost-effective and nonaddictive treatments for pain are urgently required. Needling of painful spots has been applied in acupuncture along with dry needling

Methods: A narrative review of the literature on TrP physiology, its associated diagnostics, and the techniques of DN and acupuncture was performed.

Results: Diagnostic imagery may benefit the study and treatment of TrPs using needling. Acupuncture and DN techniques are similar in their applications. However, the warm needling technique is established in acupuncture but not in dry needling. Additionally, translational difficulties have inhibited crossdiscipline learning.

Conclusions: Historical evidence suggests a need to examine the use of heat in needling further. Additional research should be conducted on TrP categories to determine if a relationship with the needling technique can be established. Furthermore, interdisciplinary communication would benefit both modalities.

针刺和干针与触发点生理学和诊断学交叉的比较技术:跨学科叙事综述。
背景:疼痛管理是一个巨大的社会负担;因此,迫切需要具有成本效益和非附加性的疼痛治疗方法。针刺痛点和干针在针灸中的应用方法:对TrP生理学、相关诊断以及DN和针灸技术的文献进行叙述性综述。结果:诊断图像有利于针刺治疗TrPs。针灸和DN技术在应用上是相似的。然而,温刺技术是在针灸中确立的,而不是在干刺中确立的。此外,翻译困难阻碍了跨学科学习。结论:历史证据表明,需要进一步研究热在针刺中的使用。应该对TrP类别进行额外的研究,以确定是否可以建立与针刺技术的关系。此外,跨学科交流将有利于这两种模式。
