Abstract: 病理性瘢痕是指在伤口愈合过程中,各种原因导致的胶原的合成代谢与降解代谢之间的平衡破坏而形成的胶原纤维增生性疾病。现代医学治疗瘢痕主要采用手术和药物,手术可能会产生新的瘢痕,药物治疗效果亦欠佳。针灸疗法作为中医外治法的一种,对瘢痕有通经散结、活血祛瘀的功效,在瘢痕治疗中取得良好疗效。本文就各种针灸疗法在瘢痕的临床应用中的进展进行综述。Pathological scarring refers to a proliferative disorder of collagen fibers formed due to the disruption of the balance between anabolic and catabolic collagen metabolism during wound healing, caused by various factors. Modern medical treatments for scars primarily involve surgery and medications. However, surgery may lead to the formation of new scars, and pharmacological treatments often yield suboptimal results. Acupuncture therapy, as a form of external treatment in traditional Chinese medicine, has the effects of unblocking meridians and dispersing nodules, as well as promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis, and has achieved good efficacy in scar treatment. This article reviews the progress of various acupuncture and moxibustion therapies in the clinical application for scar treatment.
