A
cupuncture is a basic method for the treatment of painful
disorders and symptoms. Acupuncture is especially good
for acute pain and has limited effect on chronic pain relief from
clinic practice. This problem has been troubling acupuncturists
for a long time. Chronic pain is also a major difficulty in clinical
medicine. At present, the effect of analgesicmedication is limited.
Morphine in the routine doses, in particular, has no good enough
analgesic effect for chronic intractable pain and advanced cancer
pain. Over the past decade, the reduced effect of conventional
analgesia on the treatment of chronic pain is well understood
as the endogenous pain modulation system is damaged. Due to
the changes of endogenous pain modulation system induced by
chronic pain, we carried on systemic basic animal and clinical
researches. Our study finds that acupuncture analgesia effect
that acts through DNIC was affected. The segmental gate control
pathway through which acupuncture analgesia works remains
normal. Therefore, in the cases of chronic pain, the best way is
local painful regional acupoints acupuncture.
