Abstract

The classification of pain based on deficiency and excess is a high-level summary of pain classification in Traditional Chinese medicine, which has extremely important clinical significance. Excess pain is mostly caused by invasion of external pathogenic factors, Qi stagnation and blood stasis, blockage of turbid phlegm, food and stone, which leads to poor circulation of qi and blood in internal organs and meridians, that is, the so-called “pain is none other than a reflection of blockage”. Deficiency pain is mostly caused by failure of nourishment of internal organs or meridians due to yang qi deficiency, or insufficient essence and blood, that is, the so-called “pain is none other than a reflection of poor nourishment”. However, in the study of pain in modern medicine, there are few such studies. Understanding the neurobiological basis of deficiency and excess pain and comparing the differences in pain understanding in Chinese and Western medicine is not only conducive to the development of new treatment methods of acupuncture in traditional Chinese medicine, but also may promote the leap of modern science in pain research.
