Research Progress on the Mechanism of Acupuncture in the Treatment of Discogenic Low Back Pain

椎间盘源性腰痛(Discogenic Low Back Pain, DLBP)是慢性腰痛的主要类型之一，其发病机制复杂，涉及生物力学异常、炎症及免疫反应、神经敏化与异常神经再生等多个方面。近年来，针灸作为一种安全有效的非药物治疗方法，在DLBP的临床干预中展现出显著疗效，并逐步得到现代科学研究的证实。本研究综述了DLBP的发病机制，并探讨了针灸治疗DLBP的作用机制及其研究进展，以期为DLBP的临床诊疗和机制研究提供新的思路。Discogenic Low Back Pain (DLBP) is one of the most common types of chronic low back pain, with a complex pathogenesis involving biomechanical abnormalities, inflammation and immune responses, neural sensitization, and aberrant nerve regeneration. In recent years, acupuncture has emerged as a safe and effective non-pharmacological treatment for DLBP, demonstrating significant clinical efficacy and gaining increasing support from modern scientific research. This study reviews the pathogenesis of DLBP and explores the mechanisms of acupuncture in the treatment of DLBP and its research progress, aiming to provide new insights into both the clinical diagnosis and treatment and mechanistic research of DLBP.
