3 註解
開闔補瀉（reinforcing and reducing method by keeping hole opened or closed）爲針刺手法，針刺補瀉法之一[1][2]。出《黃帝內經》。指以出針時是否按壓針孔或搖大針孔來進行鍼刺補瀉的操作方法[3]。《黃帝內經素問·刺志論》：“夫實者，氣入也；虛者，氣出也……入（刺）實者，左手開針空也；入虛者，左手閉針空也。”《黃帝內經靈樞·官能》記載瀉法用“搖大其穴，氣出乃疾”；補法則“蓋其外門，真氣乃存”。後世醫家在此基礎上發展成開闔補瀉[3]。即以出針後輕輕揉按針孔，使其閉合不令經氣外泄者爲補法；出針時邊退邊搖，針出後不按針孔，以使邪氣外出者爲瀉法[3][3]。
