针刺疗法是临床治疗失眠的常用有效方法，具有安全、无创、疗效稳定等特点。冶尕西主任师承国医大师石学敏院士，系统探索并证实基于经筋理论的经筋刺法治疗失眠疗效确切。该疗法作用机制与经筋循行对脑神的濡养守护和对营卫气血运行的整体调控密切相关，可有效改善睡眠结构、缓解日间不适症状。经筋刺法从“筋-神-气血”整体论治失眠，突破了传统安神思路，实现“筋舒则神安，神安则眠安”的诊疗原则，进一步丰富了失眠的中医病因病机理论与针灸干预策略，为失眠的规范化、个体化诊疗提供了新思路及可推广的实践路径。

Acupuncture is a commonly used and effective clinical therapy for insomnia, featuring safety, non-invasiveness and stable therapeutic effects. Director Ye Gaxi is an apprentice of Academician Shi Xuemin, Master of Chinese Medicine. He has systematically explored and verified that Meridian-Sinew Acupuncture based on the meridian-sinew theory exerts a definite curative effect on insomnia.Its mechanism is closely related to the nourishment and protection of cerebral spirit by the running course of meridian-sinews, as well as the holistic regulation of nutrient-defense, qi and blood circulation. This therapy can effectively improve sleep structure and relieve daytime discomforts.Meridian-Sinew Acupuncture treats insomnia holistically based on the integration of sinew-spirit-qi and blood, breaking through the traditional mind-soothing approach. It follows the diagnosis and treatment principles that relaxed sinews calm the spirit, and a calm spirit ensures sound sleep. It further enriches the traditional Chinese medicine etiology and pathogenesis theory of insomnia as well as acupuncture intervention strategies, and provides new ideas and popularizable practical approaches for the standardized and individualized diagnosis and treatment of insomnia in clinical practice.
