Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to acupuncture instrument field for clinical treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, concretely is a head needle positioner. BACKGROUND

[0002] Head needle, also known as scalp acupuncture, is a method of preventing and treating diseases by acupuncture at specific acupoint lines on the head. Head needle is developed on the basis of traditional acupuncture theory. As early as in the Suwen - Mianyaojingmilion Chapter, it is pointed out that "the head is the palace of the essence and brightness". The head is the convergence of all yang meridians, and the six yang meridians of hands and feet all run up to the head and face. Among the six yin meridians, the hand shaoyin and foot jueyin meridians directly run through the head and face. All the collateral of yin meridians and yang meridians converge and then reach the head and face. The Neijing records the treatment of various diseases by head needle, and later documents such as the Neijiaojiejing and the Zhenjiao Dasheng record more content about the treatment of various diseases in the whole body by head acupuncture points.

[0003] The development of head needle standardization scheme does not restrict the scientific research and development of head needle. In fact, the corresponding relationship between each part of the hair coverage area and each part of the whole body cannot be considered as a conclusion, and needs to be further verified by objective research observation methods. Professor Zhu Mingqing of the former Beijing College of Acupuncture and Bone Setting based on the theory of Chinese medicine viscera and meridians, through a large number of clinical practices, simplified the treatment lines to 9 belts on the basis of the international standardization scheme of scalp acupuncture.

[0004] The acupuncture site of head needle adopts treatment belt. The effective acupoint area of head needle treatment is often not a point, but a region, and acupuncture in this region is effective. Professor Wang Duanyi developed the head needle treatment belt to 16 treatment belts on the basis of the head needle treatment belt of Professor Zhu Mingqing and according to the head needle standardization scheme; in eye diseases, mainly selected: cranial base belt, frontal middle belt, frontal top belt and top occipital belt.

[0005] In specific applications, due to the differences in personal head profiles, the diversity of causes and different body improvement problems, patients need to go to corresponding medical points to receive acupuncture, so that the scalp acupuncture therapy can only be performed by Chinese medicine professionals on site to ensure that the acupuncture points, acupoints and the like can be correctly matched and meet the requirements, which leads to the fact that the scalp acupuncture therapy cannot be widely popularized, and Chinese medicine professionals also need long-term learning and practice to correctly perform acupuncture. Even if it is single needle or multiple needle, improper needle selection and poor acupuncture effect always occur in clinical practice, and many clinical doctors mostly complete the acupuncture treatment process by experience, in other words, a non-standard operation mode is adopted for needle use. The scalp acupuncture therapy faces great challenges and problems in terms of manpower, material resources and popularization. Therefore, in order to be suitable for use by different groups of people and not be affected by location and personnel, and to facilitate users to treat at any time and anywhere, we need to design an acupuncture auxiliary device which is convenient to popularize and use.
