针刀医学是在针刀疗法的基础上发展而成的一门中西医互相渗透的新学科,具有独特的理论和技术,经过30年的发展已初成体系。针刀医学是中医现代化的成功范例,但目前尚缺乏高标准的临床和基础研究。为了保证针刀治疗的安全性要制订常见病针刀治疗技术规范,同时制订相应的培训制度和执业资格认定标准。

As a new discipline derived from acupotomy, acupotomology combines the strength of both traditional Chinese medicine and modern medicines, enjoying a unique theory and technique. Nowadays, acupotomology has become a successful role model in modernizing traditional Chinese medicine, after a development as long as three decades. Unfortunately, acupotomology deplores for limited high-caliber clinical trials and basic researches. In this context, acupotomology shall be practiced in line with the given technical criteria, in an effort to ensure the therapeutic safety. In the meanwhile, a range of training system and professional qualification system shall be established accordingly.
