T/CACM 023-2017 Acupuncture clinical guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of anxiety disorder

Scope

Main technical content: This guide is mainly focused on the acupuncture treatment of anxiety disorders, including the acupuncture treatment of generalized anxiety disorder and panic attacks. It is mainly suitable for acupuncture practitioners in mainland China, teachers and students of traditional Chinese medicine schools, and researchers engaged in acupuncture-related professions. Other relevant department doctors may also refer to it for use. The main purpose is to recommend evidence-based clinical treatment plans for anxiety disorders and guide clinical, teaching, and research work. The history of acupuncture treatment for anxiety disorders is long, and its advantages are obvious. Not only does it have good clinical efficacy, but also it has no obvious side effects. However, so far, neither at home nor abroad has a standardized treatment plan for acupuncture treatment of this disease been formed. There is still no set of clinical treatment guidelines for acupuncture treatment of anxiety disorders based on evidence-based medicine methods and issued by authoritative institutions. There is a lack of common norms for dealing with various technical issues in acupuncture profession. It is necessary to conduct a systematic evaluation and organization of acupuncture treatment for anxiety disorders based on evidence-based medicine methods and combined with expert consensus, and to formulate a standardized and effective treatment plan. This will be conducive to the widespread promotion of acupuncture treatment for anxiety disorders in China and around the world.
