耳鸣为无外界声源时的耳内或颅内声响,常被视为多种疾病的体征或独立疾病。中医对耳鸣的认知源于《黄帝内经》,详述其病理与治疗。流行病学显示,全球约14%人口有耳鸣经历,亚洲比例偏高,且耳鸣可引发焦虑、抑郁等,严重影响生活质量。现代医学对耳鸣机制尚未明确,治疗手段有限,包括药物(抗抑郁、镇静等,部分有副作用)、高压氧、助听器等。近年来,针灸治疗耳鸣的研究增多,方法多样且疗效显著,受到认可。本文综述了针灸治疗耳鸣的研究,其手段包括常规针刺、电针、穴位注射等,成本低廉、副作用小、疗效稳定。然而,针灸治疗的效果受多种因素制约,且多数研究缺乏远期随访,创新性不足。未来应探索更优针灸方案,并研究其与现代医学的结合,为临床提供全面、个性化的治疗方案。Tinnitus is an intra-ear or intracranial sound when there is no external sound source, and it is often regarded as a sign of many diseases or independent diseases.

However, the effect of acupunc
