Electroacupuncture: current strength-duration relationship for initiation of hypesthesia in man.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electrical stimulation through an acupuncture needle in a Chinese point of the human hand decreased the subjectively estimated sensation elicited by noxious and by tactile stimulation of the ipsilateral finger. A hyperbolic relationship was found between the stimulus duration (T, ses) required for the initiation of hypesthesia and the intensity of current (I, mA) passed through the acupuncture needle: I=0.11+18/T

Short-term electroacupuncture at Zusanli resets the arterial baroreflex neural arc toward lower sympathetic nerve activity.
Although electroacupuncture reduces sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) and arterial pressure (AP), the effects of electroacupuncture on the arterial baroreflex remain to be systematically analyzed. We investigated the effects of electroacupuncture of Zusanli on the arterial baroreflex using an equilibrium diagram comprised of neural and peripheral arcs. In anesthetized, vagotomized, and aortic-de...

Background: The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of synbiotics on the intestinal colonization rate of Candida albicans in low birth weight neonates (i.e., under 2,500 g), which is one of the most important events for necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC).Methods: During one year, 106 preterm neonates with a birth weight of less than 2,500 g, admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Uni...
متن کاملClinical effectiveness of acupuncture for carpal tunnel syndrome.
Acupuncture and electroacupuncture treatments of symptomatic carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) may improve symptoms and aid nerve repair as well as improve sensory and motor functions. However, limited evidence is available regarding the effects of these treatments based on comprehensive evaluation methods. This research completed the treatment and evaluation of 26 patients with confirmed CTS. Parti...
