Abstract:Pain is a generic term for common clinical pain disorders, which are common and frequent in clinic, and seriously affect patients’ daily life and physical and mental health. At present, analgesic drugs are the main treatment. In clinical application, it is found that such drugs are often ineffective in treating pain caused by osteoarthropathy and chronic intractable diseases. Based on this, Professor Liu Zhibin, a famous traditional Chinese medicine doctor from Shaanxi Province, combining his years of clinical experience and the theory of “taking pain as acupoint”, proposes that the key to treating pain should be “purging blood method to eliminate the long - standing disease in the blood”. In addition, Professor Liu believes that there is a close connection between pain and skin, and according to this proposed “acupuncture picking therapy”, the clinical attention to distinguish acupoints and “taking pain as acupoint” combination, the operation emphasizes the horizontal acupuncture picking, pulling and swaying. This article expatiates on Professor Liu’s experience in treating pain by acupuncture picking therapy from “taking pain as acupoint” and attaches a verified case for discussion.
