Abstract:
By systematically sorting out the theoretical origin, manipulation key points, and clinical applications of sparrow-pecking needling, it is believed that sparrow-pecking needling method involves performing small-amplitude, high-frequency lifting and thrusting of the needle tip in the original position, with heavy thrusting and light lifting, starting slowly and then becoming rapid, thus forming a characteristic needling sensation that spreads to the surroundings in a wavelike manner. The sparrow-pecking needling plays a role in stimulating the conduction of channel qi and regulating the circulation of qi and blood. Additionally, this paper summarized the clinical applications of sparrow-pecking needling in five aspects, regulating mind, regulating channel sinews, regulating zang-fu organs, regulating ying-wei (nutrient and defense qi), and regulating yang qi, so as to provide references for inheriting and expanding the theory and clinical application of sparrow-pecking needling.
