There are a variety of acupoint stimulation method for acupuncture and moxibustion to treat irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
involving 58 acupoints
but the main acupoints used have some commonalities. Ten of the most commonly used acupoints are mainly distributed in the dominant area of nerve segments closely related to the colon. The segmental connection between the acupoints and target organs determines the specificity of the acupoint effect. There is a limit to the number of acupoints in a prescription; selection of more acupoints will not necessarily lead to better effects. The acupuncture and moxibustion treatment effect in IBS did not show a significant improvement as the number of acupoints increased
it has little advantages to selected more than 6 acupoints
so the number of main acupoints used for acupuncture and moxibustion treatment of IBS can be controlled at 4~6. The significance of the compatibility of Tianshu(ST25) and Zusanli(ST36) may lie in some complementary effects produced by their different action targets
rather than the enhancement or superposition of the effect on common action targets.
