This paper introduces a moxa floss shaping and spreading device for governor vessel moxibustion. This device is consisted of a storage unit and a propulsion unit, capable of automatically shaping moxa sticks for governor vessel moxibustion. The device allows for the flexible adjustment of moxa stick length, better conforming to the physiological curvature of the spine, and avoiding potential burns associated with governor vessel moxibustion. It simplifies the operational procedures for healthcare professionals, offering the advantages of ease of use, safety, and efficiency.

Objectives: To analyze the regularity of acupoint selection and compatibility of acupuncture and moxibustion for Parkinson's disease (PD) using complex network analysis technology, so as to provide the basis and treatment strategies for clinical acupuncture and moxibustion treatment of PD.
Methods: Relevant literature published in databases of China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, VIP, PubMed, and Web of Science from the inception to December of 2023 was retrieved. The literature was screened based on inclusion and exclusion criteria to establish a prescription database for acupuncture treatment of PD.

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of moxibustion and acupuncture at acupoints of the governor vessel combined with repeated transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) in the treatment of post-stroke fatigue (PSF).
Methods: A total of 78 patients with PSF were randomized into an observation group (39 cases, 1 case dropped out) and a control group (39 cases, 1 case dropped out). The patients in both groups received conventional medical basic treatment.

Objectives: To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) stimulation of "Dazhui"(GV14) and "Mingmen" (GV4) of the Governor Vessel (GV) on the apoptosis of neurons in rats with spinal cord injury (SCI) by regulating the expression of glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) protein and its phosphorylation level, so as to reveal partial mechanism for the treatment of SCI with EA of GV.
Methods: A total of 45 male SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operation, model and EA groups, 15 rats in each group. The SCI model was established by using the modified Allen's percussion device.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the effect of moxibustion at Governor Vessel (GV) acupoints, including Baihui (GV 20), Shenting (GV 24) and Dazhui (GV 14) for 14 days on glial vascular unit (GVU) in rats with multiple microinfarctions (MMI), and to explore its action mechanism.
Methods: The effect and mechanism of moxibustion on vascular dementia (VD) were studied in MMI rats by means of behavioral and molecular biology experiments.
Results: Rats receiving MMI showed impairment of memory function, reduction of cerebral blood flow, damage of blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity and increased brain mass.

The paper introduces the clinical experience of in technique of acupuncture in terms of theoretical basis, acupoint selection and needling manipulation. Guided by the clinical thoughts of acupuncture, "regulating the spirit as the priority, harmonizing and , and holistic treatment", and associated with the theoretic knowledge of modern medicine, proposes a new technique of acupuncture on the head, delivered in the region from Shenting (GV 24) to Baihui (GV 20), and the area 0.5 bilateral to this midline (the governor vessel), named Shenting (heaven), Muyang (human) and Baihui (earth).
