Acupuncture, rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), serves as a complementary and alternative therapeutic modality that involves the insertion of needles into specific body points to stimulate treat variety conditions. Over time, acupuncture has garnered global acceptance, progressively addressing an increasing spectrum medical disorders. The integration nanotechnology holds considerable potential improve drug delivery efficacy broaden scope acupuncture's applications, providing novel opportunities for investigating underlying principles meridians acupoints. A bibliometric analysis application over past two decades (2004-2024) highlights emerging research trends focal field. This article provides overview history, biological mechanisms, preparation methods, clinical status nanoacupuncture, with focus on analyzing applications nanoacupuncture technology. Nanotechnology enables visualization imaging acupoints, facilitating deeper understanding physiological mechanisms behind effects. Modified incorporating can serve dual purposes: functioning sensors real-time monitoring various parameters, thereby supporting disease diagnosis enhancing through specialized interventions. Furthermore, nanotechnology-enhanced act platforms targeted working tandem responsive nanoparticles treatment. Despite its promising applicability, faces inherent limitations challenges must be addressed.
