Ancient acupuncture and moxibustion prescriptions are one of the sources for evidence-based acupuncture research, representing the techniques features in treatment. This paper examines and analyses the literature of ancient acupuncture and moxibustion prescriptions for headache. It was found that repeated adaption and private changes of ancient acupuncture prescriptions was common. It was also found that the literature which reported the adaption of the indications of acupoints and the annotation of acupuncture and moxibustion in the form of poetry was often confused with the clinical acupuncture prescriptions. It is essential to trace the literature sources of ancient acupuncture prescriptions and to confirm the earliest documents extant for their authenticity and inheritance. In this sense, they are the two steps for review of the literature of ancient acupuncture prescriptions.

Introduction: Acupuncture on the acupuncture point GV20 has been considered effective for managing psychoneurological disorders since ancient times, and GV20 is now regularly used to treat stress-related diseases (SRDs), including psychoneurological disorders. Although reports indicating that acupuncture stimulation of GV20 alone regulates cerebral blood flow (CBF) in brain regions associated with SRDs have been scattered, from the perspective of the need for earlier action, the effects on subjective stress as self-reported in the stress state of healthy individuals and CBF changes in related prefrontal cortex (PFC) subregions, which is based as underlying mechanism, remain unclear. Therefore, there is a need to explore effective methods for analyzing such effects.

Article Synopsis
- Many reflexologists rely on outdated concepts that conflict with current medical science, hampering proper diagnoses and treatment.
- This study develops a fuzzy mathematical model that uses reflex diagnostics and acupuncture points to improve medical care for workers exposed to pesticides, predicting nervous system issues with over 85% accuracy.
- Despite the interest in reflex diagnostics and ancient therapies, the lack of a solid theoretical framework and the exaggeration of acupuncture benefits challenge their broader application in modern healthcare.
