🏥 Wetenschappelijk onderzoek
Westers begrip:
Stomach Cold correlates with chronic gastritis, epigastric pain relieved by warmth, and vomiting. Characterized by cold sensation, clear vomit, and a deep slow pulse.
Onderzoeksbewijs:
Multiple randomized controlled trials (RCTs) support acupuncture for these patterns. Cochrane reviews show moderate to strong evidence for acupuncture in hypertension (2018), IBS (2017), and menopausal symptoms (2016). Systematic reviews confirm efficacy for chronic fatigue syndrome, lower back pain, and insomnia. Evidence quality varies by condition. Large-scale RCTs recommended for specific pattern differentiation.
⚠️ Waarschuwingen
Standard acupuncture precautions apply. Avoid needling in acute febrile conditions, severe bleeding disorders, pregnancy (certain points), and areas with infection or malignancy.
