Comparison and Analysis of Various Representative Schools of Head Needling

Abstract

In this paper, by studying and reading the literature related to head acupuncture, its aim is to summarize and compare the similarities and differences in the principle of action, positioning and operation methods of different schools of head acupuncture. At present, the more widely used schools of head acupuncture include Jiao Shunfa head acupuncture, Fang Yunpeng head acupuncture, and Tang Songyan head acupuncture. The principles of stimulation site selection vary among schools, and their principles of action range from basic meridian doctrine principles to biological holographic principles. In terms of acupuncture method, Fang Yunpeng emphasizes that the depth of acupuncture needs to reach the periosteum, and the acupuncture site is inconsistent among different schools, which should be clinically and experimentally confirmed to confirm the scientific nature of the theory of scalp acupuncture, to protect the clinical experience of each school of acupuncture, to gather the strengths of all schools, to determine the best scheme of head acupuncture, to reduce blind clinical operations, to improve the efficacy, and finally to promote the promotion of head acupuncture.
