ECCA-MET-ACUPOINT-MAP-0006
Metabolic Encephalopathy Acupuncture Point Mapping Atlas
SCF Neural Mapping Schema: Module 6 of Encephalopathy Types
Clinical use classification: Adjunctive supportive neuromodulation only. Metabolic encephalopathy requires urgent correction of metabolic disturbances including electrolyte imbalance, renal failure, endocrine dysfunction, glucose dysregulation, acid–base abnormalities, uremia, and systemic metabolic instability.
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, endocrine, metabolic, neurovascular, mitochondrial, or connectomic output.
Evidence tiers:
- A = direct mechanistic/tracing evidence
- B = indirect neuroimaging or physiology
- C = anatomy-based inference

- toxicology workup
Urgent escalation is required for:
- coma
- seizures

Acupuncture mapping integration should occur only:
- after metabolic stabilization
- with electrolyte monitoring
- under physician oversight
- with coagulation and infection screening where indicated
