针刺疗法是我国传统医学的一项源头创新。自20世纪70年代起,我国的针刺研究逐步走向世界。其中的重要事件包括我国针刺麻醉的影响、世界卫生组织的关注、世界针联的成立和发展、美国国立卫生研究院召开针刺疗法听证会等。我国针刺研究能够走向世界的原因,包括针刺疗法疗效确切,原理研究初步阐明它的科学基础;而在中西医结合方针的正确指引下,我国广大医务科技人员的辛勤努力则是重要的保证。为进一步扩大针刺研究世界性影响,今后应注重:坚持实事求是的原则;加强投入,加强研究梯队的建设;坚持经济效益与社会效益的统一。总之,针刺研究是我国真正对西方科学技术产生一定影响的少数领域之一。我们应站在时代的高度,推动针刺研究向纵深发展,为扩大针刺研究的世界性影响做出新贡献。

Acupuncture therapy is one of the original innovations in traditional Chinese medicine. The study of acupuncture has gradually advanced towards the world since 1970s. In these years the most important events might be the influence of acupuncture anesthesia, the attention of the World Health Organization, the establishment and development of the World Federation of Acupuncture and Moxibustion Societies, and the consensus development conference on acupuncture held by the National Institutes of Health in America, and so on. The reasons why acupuncture is accepted by the world are both the convinced curative effects and the scientific foundations, due to the great efforts of medical stuff in China guided by the principle of integration of traditional Chinese and western medicine. This article poses several proposals about further extending the influence of acupuncture. In brief, acupuncture research is one of the few fields that authentically impact the western scientific technology. It is of very important responsibility in the new century to impulse the acupuncture study to further progress and expand the international infuence of acupuncture.
