🔬 Wetenschappelijk onderzoek
Westers begrip: Spleen Blood stasis correlates with splenomegaly, portal hypertension, and abdominal masses. Characterized by left upper quadrant 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
Standard acupuncture precautions apply. Avoid needling in acute febrile conditions, severe bleeding disorders, pregnancy (certain points), and areas with infection or malignancy.
