On Acupuncture Treatment for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Based on the Spleen-Stomach-Gut Microbiota Theory

慢性疲劳综合征是由亚健康状态演变而来的以疲劳为主的症候群，由于其发病机制仍不明确，目前仅限于对症治疗。然而诸多研究证实，慢性疲劳综合征的发病与脾胃功能失常、肠道菌群失调具有密切关联性，且针灸疗法对脾胃与肠道菌群的调节具有积极作用。故本文基于脾胃–肠道菌群理论探讨针灸治疗慢性疲劳综合征，以期为进一步阐述其发病机制及临床治疗提供新思路。Chronic fatigue syndrome is a syndrome characterized by fatigue that develops from a sub-health state. Due to its unclear pathogenesis, treatment is currently limited to symptomatic management. However, numerous studies have confirmed that the onset of CFS is closely associated with dysfunction of the spleen and stomach, as well as dysbiosis of the gut microbiota. Additionally, acupuncture therapy has been shown to have a positive regulatory effect on the spleen and stomach, as well as the gut microbiota. Therefore, this study explores the use of acupuncture therapy for CFS based on the theory of the spleen-stomach-gut microbiota, with the aim of providing new insights for further elaboration of its pathogenesis and clinical treatment.
