Abstract：
Non-drug therapies of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), including acupuncture, massage, tai chi chuan, and Baduanjin, have emerged as widespread interventions for the treatment of various diseases in clinical practice. In recent years, preliminary studies on the mechanisms of non-drug therapies of TCM have been mostly based on functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) technology. FNIRS is an innovative, non-invasive tool to monitor hemodynamic changes in the cerebral cortex. Our review included clinical research conducted over the last 10 years, establishing fNIRS as a reliable and stable neuroimaging technique. This review explores new applications of this technology in the field of neuroscience. First, we summarize the working principles of fNIRS. We then present preventive research on the use of fNIRS in healthy individuals and therapeutic research on patients undergoing non-drug therapies of TCM. Finally, we emphasize the potential for encouraging future advancements in fNIRS studies to establish a theoretical framework for research in related fields.
摘要：
非药物治疗的中医（TCM），包括针灸,按摩,太极拳,和八段锦,已成为临床实践中治疗各种疾病的广泛干预措施。近年来,关于中药非药物治疗机制的初步研究主要基于功能近红外光谱（fNIRS）技术。FNIRS是一项创新，监测大脑皮层血流动力学变化的非侵入性工具。我们的综述包括过去10年进行的临床研究，建立fNIRS作为一种可靠和稳定的神经成像技术。这篇综述探讨了该技术在神经科学领域的新应用。首先,我们总结了fNIRS的工作原理。然后，我们对健康个体中fNIRS的使用进行了预防性研究，并对接受中医非药物治疗的患者进行了治疗研究。最后,我们强调鼓励fNIRS研究未来发展的潜力，以建立相关领域研究的理论框架。
