Effects of Moxibustion on Stress-Induced Delayed Gastric Emptying via Somatoautonomic Reflex in Rats.

Conclusions: RS-induced delayed GE may be ameliorated by iMOX at ST 36. Somatoautonomic, reflex-induced vagal-nerve activity helps mediate the stimulatory effects of iMOX on RS-induced delayed GE. As a complementary and alternative medicine, iMOX may also be advantageous for patients with gastric disorders, such as functional dyspepsia. PMID: 33101572 [PubMed]
