1.Construction of Conceptual Framework for Non-Pharmacological Therapy Using a Comparative Classification Approach
Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2026;67(14):1560-1566
Drawing on the "typical - atypical" learning paradigm and the dual perspectives of "disembodiment- embodiment", this paper develops a dynamic conceptual framework for non-pharmacological therapies and illustrates its construction through mind mapping. Four categories of interventions, including manual therapy, movement therapy, acupuncture and moxibustion, and qigong, are compared in terms of their effects on the body's objective structure and subjective perception, with their shared principles and distinguishing characteristics systematically summarized. On this basis, we preliminarily identify two fundamental principles underlying non-pharmacological therapies: "localization" and "transformation". Furthermore, "mechanics" and "temperature" are proposed as the key elements through which "localization" and "transformation" are perceived and manifested. This study provides a dynamically updatable conceptual framework and a visual mode of representation that can support theoretical learning, skill acquisition, and clinical teaching and research in non-pharmacological therapies.
