Abstract:
[Objective]To summarize the clinical experience of Professor YAO Xinmiao's experience in treating restless legs syndrome(RLS)with acupotomy from four sinews separately under the theoretical guidance of"bones can stand upright with sinews",with a view to illustrate the theoretical basis and clinical application of treating RLS with acupotomy from four sinews.[Methods]Through the clinical study with Professor YAO,combined with the review of Chinese medical ancient Books and modern medical research literature on RLS,the overview of RLS,the theoretical overview of"bone can stand upright with sinews",and Professor YAO's opinions on the theoretical basis and clinical practice of treating RLS with acupotomy from four sinews separately are elaborated,and Professor YAO's idea of identification and treatment of RLS are analyzed.[Results]RLS is a central nervous system sensory dysfunction disease,and traditional treatment has problems such as significant side effects,drug tolerance and symptom rebound.The theory of"bones can stand upright with sinews"emphasizes the dominant position of tendons in the concept of balance between sinews and bones.Professor YAO believes that the onset of RLS is caused by the disruption of the balance between sinews and bones.Sinew of foot-Taiyang,sinew of foot-Shaoyang,sinew of foot-Jueyin,sinew of foot-Shaoyin are closely related to RLS.Doctors need to flexibly use acupuncture techniques such as perpendicular needling,Hegu needling and superficial needling to treat RLS based on characteristics of the four sinews separately.Meanwhile,doctors need to base themselves on the concept of muscle bone balance,focus on the training of core stability,reduce recurrence and improve long-term efficacy.[Conclusion]Professor YAO's emphasis on the concept of balance between sinews and bones based on the concept of"bone can stand upright with sinews"not only has important guiding significance in the treatment of musculoskeletal disorders with acupotomy,but also has high application value in the treatment of neuromuscular disorders with acupotomy,which is worth learning and promoting.
