ECCA-HEP-ACUPOINT-MAP-0002

Hepatic Encephalopathy Acupuncture Point Mapping Atlas

SCF Neural Mapping Schema: Module 2 of Encephalopathy Types

Clinical use classification: Adjunctive supportive neuromodulation only. Hepatic encephalopathy requires urgent hepatology-guided medical management including ammonia-lowering therapy, correction of precipitating factors, electrolyte stabilization, infection management, GI bleed management when present, nutritional optimization, ICU-level care when indicated, and liver failure evaluation.

The SCF neural mapping method follows the layered model:

acupoint → peripheral nerve branch → dermatome/myotome → spinal or cranial entry → brainstem/hypothalamic/limbic/cortical node → autonomic, immune, metabolic, neurovascular, or endocrine output.

Evidence tiers:

• A = direct mechanistic/tracing evidence
• B = indirect neuroimaging or physiology
• C = anatomy-based inference

III. Primary Therapeutic Circuit Stack for Hepatic Encephalopathy

IV. Evidence-Controlled Interpretation

High-confidence anchors include:

• ST36 → vagal-adrenal anti-inflammatory circuitry
• ST25 → spinal sympathetic gut modulation
• PC6 → cardiovagal/brainstem autonomic circuitry

Moderate evidence points include:

• GV20
• HT7
• LI4
• LI11
• SP6
• GB34

Other mappings represent SCF anatomical-neuroconnectomic inference models integrating:

• peripheral nerve territories
• segmental autonomics
• visceral reflex circuits
• connectomic functional convergence

VI. Safety and Exclusion Notes

This atlas is not a substitute for emergency hepatic encephalopathy management.

Urgent priorities include:

• ammonia reduction therapy
• precipitant correction
• ICU monitoring
• airway management
• seizure precautions
• electrolyte correction
• infection treatment
• transplant evaluation when indicated

Acupuncture mapping may only be considered:

• after stabilization
• with hepatology oversight
• with bleeding-risk screening
• after coagulopathy assessment
