Role of TRPV1 in electroacupuncture-mediated signal to the primary sensory cortex during regulation of the swallowing function
CONCLUSION: The TRPV1 at CV23 after EA treatment might play a key role in mediating local blood perfusion but was not involved in transferring EA signals to the central nervous system (CNS). These findings collectively suggested that TRPV1 may be one of the important regulators involved in the mechanism of EA treatment for improving swallowing function in PSD.PMID:37718934 | DOI:10.1111/cns.14457

Progress of Acupuncture Therapy in Diseases Based on Magnetic Resonance Image Studies: A Literature Review
The neural mechanisms of acupuncture are not well-understood. Over the past decades, an increasing number of studies have used MRI to investigate the response of the brain to acupuncture. The current review aims to provide an update on acupuncture therapy in disease. The PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library databases were searched from inception to January 31, 2021. Article selection and data extraction were conducted by two review authors. A total of 107 publications about MRI in acupuncture were included, the collective findings of which were as follows: (1) stroke and GB34 (Yanglingquan) are the most stu...

Scalp acupuncture plus low-frequency rTMS promotes repair of brain white matter tracts in stroke patients: A  DTI study.
Scalp acupuncture plus low-frequency rTMS promotes repair of brain white matter tracts in stroke patients: A DTI study. J Integr Neurosci. 2018;17(1):125-139 Authors: Zhao N, Zhang J, Qiu M, Wang C, Xiang Y, Wang H, Xie J, Liu S, Wu J Abstract To study the clinical effects of scalp acupuncture plus low frequency rTMS in hemiplegic stroke patients. A total of 28 hemiplegic stroke patients were recruited and randomly assigned to the experimental group (scalp acupuncture + low frequency rTMS + routine rehabilitation treatment) or the control group (scalp acupuncture + routine rehabilitation treatment...

Effect of acupuncture on the hemodynamic system. Correlation between heart rate, cardiac output and blood pressure
Acupuncture stimulation can induce reduction of the heart rate via a somato-autonomic reflex. However, it is unknown whether acupuncture influences also other hemodynamics parameters. The present study was designed to investigate comprehensively the changes of cardiovascular responses during acupuncture stimulation. Twelve healthy volunteers (mean age: 22 ±1 years) participated in the study. Heart rate, stroke volume, cardiac output and blood pressure were measured in the subjects in supine position by means of the electrocardiogram, transthoracic impedance cardiogram and continuous non-invasive finger blood pressure.

Acupuncture improves locomotor function by enhancing GABA receptor expression in transient focal cerebral ischemia rats
Publication date: 19 February 2015 Source:Neuroscience Letters, Volume 588 Author(s): Qian Xu , Jing-Wen Yang , Yan Cao , Li-Wen Zhang , Xiang-Hong Zeng , Fang Li , Si-Qi Du , Lin-Peng Wang , Cun-Zhi Liu Stroke is the major cause of long-term disability among adults. Recent studies have found that GABAergic inhibitory neurotransmission plays a vital role in ameliorate locomotor damage after ischemic injury. Acupuncture has been widely used to improve locomotor function. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The present study is designed to investigate whether GABA and GABA receptors are involved in the mecha...
