Abstract：This paper summarizes the clinical experience of Chief Physician WANG Jun in treating migraines with acupuncture.Migraine is a disease name in Western medicine.According to Western medical diagnosis,Master WANG classifies all symptoms into two categories:the main symptoms and the concurrent symptoms.He also conducts a traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)location analysis based on the different characteristics of the main symptoms and the concurrent symptoms,and believes that the TCM location of migraine mainly lies in the head,involving the three yang meridians of the head,the eyes,ears,tongue and other official orifices,as well as the liver,heart,spleen,stomach and kidneys and other internal organs.Based on the TCM locations and symptom characteristics of migraine,the following acupoint selection principles were established for acupuncture treatment:(1)For the main symptoms,selection is primarily based on meridian differentiation,which is combined with proximal acupoints selection;(2)For concurrent symptoms,the selection is primarily based on the differentiation of zang-fu organs.(3)For combined treat-ment of main and concurrent symptoms,selection is primarily based on root and node differentiation.Besides conventional acupuncture techniques,Master WANG emphasizes supplementary acupuncture maneuvers and patient education and care to ensure the maximum benefit from the treatment.
