Researchers find that propagated sensation along the meridian exists objectively

As the propagated sensation along the meridian is a subjective feeling, there is no direct evidence for its presence. According to a study published in Neural Regeneration Research (Vol. 8, No. 28, 2013), participants with notable propagated sensation along the meridian were given electro-acupuncture at the Jianyu (LI15) acupoint of the large intestine meridian. When participants stated that the sensation reached the back of their hand, regular nervous system action discharge was examined using a physiological recording electrode placed on the superficial branch of the radial nerve.
