🔬 Wetenschappelijk onderzoek
Westers begrip: Liver Blood stasis correlates with cirrhosis, liver cancer, severe menstrual cramps, and hypochondriac pain. Characterized by fixed stabbing pain, purple tongue, and a choppy pulse.
Onderzoeksbewijs: Multiple randomized controlled trials (RCTs) support acupuncture for these patterns. Cochrane reviews show moderate to strong evidence for acupuncture in chronic pain, digestive disorders, and cardiovascular conditions. Systematic reviews confirm efficacy for respiratory diseases and urinary disorders. Evidence quality varies by condition. Large-scale RCTs recommended for specific pattern differentiation.
⚠️ Voorzorgsmaatregelen
Caution in hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, or abdominal masses. Avoid deep needling in right upper quadrant.
