[Objectives] To systematically review the advances in the research of the theoretical basis, clinical efficacy, and mechanisms of Mongolian medical acupuncture for Cervical Spondylotic Radiculopathy (CSR), and to explore its relationship with the "Khii-Khisu (Wind-blood)" theory. [Methods] Relevant literature from both domestic and international sources was searched. Besides, it summarized the etiology, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and treatment principles of CSR in Mongolian medicine, also summarized the commonly used acupoints and combination protocols in Mongolian medical acupuncture, compared the similarities and differences between various acupuncture regimens, and explained the underlying mechanisms in light of the "Wind-blood" theory. [Results] In Mongolian medicine, Cervical Spondylotic Radiculopathy (CSR) is classified as a "Disorder of the White Meridian". Its pathogenesis is considered to be closely associated with the disorder of the Three Life-sustaining Energies (Khii, Shar, Badgan). Clinical studies have demonstrated that Mongolian medical acupuncture can significantly alleviate pain and numbness, and improve cervical spine function in CSR patients. Although there are variations in acupoint selection, the approach consistently emphasizes the combination of local and distal points, highlighting the therapeutic goals of dredging the White Meridian and regulating qi and blood. The "Wind-blood" theory provides a scientific framework for explaining the neurological and inflammatory symptoms of CSR, thereby offering a basis for pattern differentiation and treatment. [Conclusions] Mongolian medical acupuncture for CSR offers the advantages of a solid theoretical basis and established clinical efficacy. However, its advancement in the modern context requires a deeper investigation into its mechanisms, the standardization of operational protocols, and further validation of its efficacy and safety through large-sample, evidence-based studies. |
