Abstract

Substance-use disorders (SUDs) and drug addiction are not only national, but also global health concerns that have worsened during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Acupuncture augments the endogenous opioid system and, therefore, has a theoretical basis as a treatment for opioid use disorders (OUDs). The basic science of acupuncture, its clinical research in addiction medicine, and decades of success of the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association protocol offer positive findings supporting this protocol's utility for treating SUDs. Considering the mounting opioid/substance-use concerns and deficiencies in SUD treatment availability in the United States, acupuncture can be a safe, feasible treatment option and adjunct in addiction medicine. Furthermore, large governmental agencies are lending support to acupuncture for treating acute and chronic pain, which, in turn, could translate to prevention of SUDs and addictions. This article is a narrative review of the background, the basic science and clinical research, and future direction of acupuncture in addiction medicine.

针灸在成瘾医学中的应用:其历史、证据和可能性。
药物滥用障碍(SUD)和吸毒成瘾不仅是国家健康问题,也是全球健康问题,在 COVID-19 大流行期间和之后更加严重。针灸可增强内源性阿片系统,因此具有治疗阿片类药物使用障碍(OUDs)的理论基础。针灸的基础科学、成瘾医学的临床研究以及美国国家针灸戒毒协会数十年来的成功经验,都为针灸治疗 SUDs 提供了积极的结论支持。考虑到美国日益严重的阿片类药物/毒品使用问题,以及SDD治疗的不足,针灸可以成为一种安全、可行的治疗选择,以及成瘾医学的辅助手段。此外,大型政府机构正在支持针灸治疗急性和慢性疼痛,这反过来又可以转化为预防药物滥用和成瘾。本文对针灸在成瘾医学中的背景、基础科学和临床研究以及未来发展方向进行了叙述性综述。
