ABSTRACT

Zhongzhu Point is often used in clinical treatment of tinnitus.However, at present, the mechanism of Zhongzhu acupoint in the treatment of tinnitus is not fully and clearly understood. This article expounds the effective mechanism of Zhongzhu point for tinnitus treatment from ancient medical books, traditional Chinese medicine meridian and five elements theory of Zangfu organs, modern disarticulation, different treatment methods, including acupuncture, electroacupuncture, moxibustion, modern imaging, etc. It fully shows that Zhongzhu point has clinical rationality and modern science and technology research support for the treatment of tinnitus, and puts forward a new research idea for the treatment of tinnitus.
