针灸治疗共济失调操作简便、疗效确切，目前针对共济失调的针刺选穴，以头枕部腧穴为多，因枕区为小脑在头皮的解剖投影区，故认为针刺该区可激发小脑功能，促进小脑神经细胞的恢复，从而改善临床症状。针刺多以丛刺或排刺为主，旨在集中和增强局部能量的转化，增加单位面积刺激量，激发经气，发挥更好的疗效。针刺亦常联合艾灸、中药及康复训练等进行综合治疗。以近5年的文献为据，总结归纳共济失调的针灸治疗方法及联系，为进一步探究其作用机制提供思路。

Acupuncture treatment of ataxia is simple and effective.At present, acupuncture points for ataxia are mainly selected from the head-occipital acupoints, because the occipital area is the anatomical projection area of the cerebellum on the scalp.Acupuncture in this area is believed to stimulate cerebellar function and promote the recovery of cerebellar nerve cells, thereby improving clinical symptoms.The main acupuncture methods are cluster needling or row needling, whose aim is to concentrate and enhance the conversion of local energy, and increase the amount of stimulation per unit area, so as to stimulate meridian qi, and exert better curative effects.Acupuncture is often combined with moxibustion, traditional Chinese medicine and rehabilitation training for comprehensive treatment.Based on the literature of the past five years, this article summarizes the acupuncture treatment methods for ataxia and their connections, and provides ideas for further exploring of its mechanism.
