Abstract:
Acupuncture therapy needs to cause enough somatosensory stimulation to achieve therapeutic effect.How to identify the site and depth before acupuncture,assess therapeutic effect after acupuncture and ensure the safety of treatment are the points for clinical application of acupuncture therapy,but no standard objective and quantitative access has been achieved.Under assistance of ultrasound,precise positioning before acupuncture,visualization of anatomical structures and quantification of the depth during acupuncture became feasible.The research progresses of ultrasound for assisting acupuncture therapy were reviewed in this article.
