Scalp acupuncture is scalp acupuncture [2].

Scalp acupuncture is also known as scalp acupuncture, cranial acupuncture or head acupoint therapy. It is a method of acupuncture in certain specific vaginal areas of the head to treat diseases. According to ancient medical records, acupuncture points on the head mainly treat craniocerebral diseases, such as stroke, madness, dizziness, headache, etc. In recent years, due to the wide application of auricular acupuncture, some people have paid attention to exploring the relationship between the scalp and the whole body, and based on the spatial correspondence between the scalp and the functional positioning of the cerebral cortex, it has been proposed to delineate several *** areas on the scalp, such as motor areas and sensory areas. etc.; there are also people who have expanded the application range of acupoints on the head based on the connection between the meridians of the head and the whole body. Scalp acupuncture has attracted the attention of the medical community at home and abroad since its promotion and use in the early 1970s. Different schools have different opinions on the selection of scalp acupuncture points. Among them, there are two which have greater influence. One is proposed by Shanxi Jiao Shunfa based on the functional positioning of the cerebral cortex; the other is proposed by the Chinese Acupuncture Society based on the meridian theory. The latter has been adopted by the world Recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO). Acupuncture is usually performed in a sitting or lying position. After the surgical site is selected, routine disinfection is performed, and acupuncture is performed with a 1 to 2-inch long filiform needle, No. 26 to 28. The direction of acupuncture can be divided into straight puncture and horizontal puncture. One needle penetrates 2 to 3 points horizontally, and the amount of injection is large. There are two commonly used acupuncture techniques: one is to quickly insert the needle into the expected depth and then twist it quickly, up to about 200 times per minute. , refers to the equal advancement and retreat of force, in order to play a harmonious effect: one is to apply tonic or purgative methods based on the principle of "replenishing if it is deficient, and purging if it is true". Generally, 1 times a day or every other day, 10 to 15 times is a 1 course of treatment, with 1 weeks of rest between courses. If necessary, the needle burying method can also be used, fix the needle handle with tape, and bury the needle for 1 to 3 days before removing the needle. During the operation, disinfection should be strict and bleeding should be prevented. Infants should not use scalp acupuncture due to incomplete ossification of the skull sutures. [3]
