“醒脑开窍” 针刺法是由中国工程院院士石学敏教授提出的一种针刺治疗大法， 用于治疗中风急性期及中风中后期患者。 在针刺中， 石院士非常重视“调神” 在该法中的重要作用， 认为针刺以守神为首务， 疗效以神应为保证， 针刺施术务求神应。 而醒脑开窍针刺法中内关穴与人中穴为两大调神要穴， 通过两穴调节患者及医师的广义之神和狭义之神， 神安则精固气畅， 在调神过程中其针刺顺序更是重中之重， 否则， 将不能起到预期的疗效。

consciousness-restoring resuscitation acupuncture is a treatment method of acupuncture proposed by academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering Shi Xuemin. It is mainly used for the treatment of paralytic stroke in patients with acute phase and late phase. Shi Xuemin academician emphasizes the importance of the regulation of the minds in consciousness-restoring resuscitation acupuncture. He believes that the acupuncture treatment serves as the defense of minds and the acupuncture effect acts as the communication of minds，therefore，the communication of minds plays an important role in needling methods. Furthermore， the order of two leading point-Neiguan（PC 6）and Renzhong （DU 26） should be the most important in the regulation of minds. Otherwise， it will not have the expected effect.
