背俞穴为特定穴，具有特殊的分布规律，解剖上对应相应脏腑，生理上与脏腑经络之气相通，病理上存在阳性反应。在针灸临床中，除具有经穴的共同主治特点外，还有其特殊的性能和治疗作用，对一些脏腑疾病有很好的诊断作用，可用作临床快速诊断；背俞穴可单独治疗相应脏腑疾病，也可与募穴相配合调整脏腑阴阳气血平衡，取穴少，疗效好；针对五脏相对应的五体五官疾患，背俞穴也具有很好的治疗作用。试图从临床诊断及治疗对背俞穴的应用概况做简略探讨。

Back-shu points are all specific acupoints with special distribution. With the same functions as other points, they can also be used to diagnose and treat relative Zang-fu and five-sensoryorgans-diseases effectively.Anatomically,they are correlated to the organs; physically, they are connected to the meridian and collateral qi; pathologically, there exist positive points in them. In the clinical acupuncture, they have the same functions as other points in the Bladder meridian, and they also have special functions. They can help to diagnose specific diseases, thus can be used for fast diagnosis. They can be used to treat relative Zang-fu alone, and can be used for keeping balance of Zang-fu, Yin yang and qi,blood, with the advantage of fewer points and better curative effect. For five sensory organs diseases, they are also effective. The author tries to summarize the clinical application of them in recent years.
