[Selection of acupoints in acupuncture-moxibustion for drug abstinence]

Selection (screening) of acupoints, clinical application of acupoints and mechanisms of acupoints in treatment of acupuncture and moxibustion for drug abstinence in recent 10 years are reviewed, considering that the studies of acupuncture and moxibustion for drug abstinence are not enough in the width and depth, especially, lacking deep studies in selection (screening) of acupoints, clinical application of acupoints and the mechanisms. The acupuncture and moxibustion for drug abstinence is a newer field, in future the systematically and scientifically clinical and experimental studies on the acupuncture and moxibustion for drug abstinence should be strengthened, especially, the studies on clinical application of acupoints.
