Electro-acupuncture at Governor Vessel improves neurological function in rats with spinal cord injury

ConclusionsEA treatment applied at GV acupoints either within the injury site or adjacent undamaged regions near the brain can improve functional recovery, which may be correlated with the upregulation of BDNF and NT-3. In addition, it would be more effective to administer EA at GV 14 and GV 4 near the injury site of the SCI rats.
