Global research on acupuncture point injection shows progress in understanding mechanisms, but clinical evidence remains weak. Standardization is urgent due to adverse effects, especially for pain management.

Area of Science:

  • Integrative and Complementary Medicine
  • Acupuncture Research
  • Pain Management Therapies

Background:

  • Acupuncture point injection is a widely applied therapy for various diseases, particularly pain conditions.
  • Despite its prevalence, robust clinical evidence supporting its efficacy is limited.
  • Recent years have seen advancements in elucidating the underlying mechanisms of acupuncture point injection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an overview of global research advancements in acupuncture point injection over the past five years.
  • To assess the current state of clinical evidence and mechanistic understanding.
  • To highlight the need for procedural standardization and further investigation.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of global research publications on acupuncture point injection.

  • Analysis of studies focusing on therapeutic applications, clinical evidence, and mechanistic research.
  • Evaluation of reported adverse effects and procedural variations.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant progress has been made in understanding the mechanisms of acupuncture point injection.
    • Clinical evidence supporting its effectiveness across a broad range of diseases, especially pain, remains insufficient.
    • Adverse effects associated with the procedure have been reported, underscoring safety concerns.

    Conclusions:

    • While mechanistic insights into acupuncture point injection are advancing, its clinical utility requires stronger evidence.
    • The reported adverse events necessitate the urgent standardization of clinical procedures.
    • Further rigorous research is essential to validate efficacy and ensure patient safety in acupuncture point injection therapies.
