Advancing the Understanding of Acupoint Sensitization and Plasticity Through Cutaneous C-Nociceptors [PDF]

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2022
Acupoint is the key area for needling treatment, but its physiology is not yet understood. Nociceptors, one of the responders in acupoints, are responsible for acupuncture manipulation and delivering acupuncture signals to the spinal or supraspinal level.

Mast cells are important regulator of acupoint sensitization via the secretion of tryptase, 5-hydroxytryptamine, and histamine [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Mast cells (MCs) play a crucial role in mediating the establishment of networks among the circulatory, nervous and immune system at acupoints. However, the changes which occur in MCs during acupoint sensitization, i.e.

Shared nociceptive dorsal root ganglion neurons participating in acupoint sensitization [PDF]

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022
When the body is under pathological stress (injury or disease), the status of associated acupoints changes, including decreased pain threshold. Such changes in acupoint from a “silent” to an “active” state are considered “acupoint sensitization,” which ...

Understanding Acupoint Sensitization: A Narrative Review on Phenomena, Potential Mechanism, and Clinical Application [PDF]

Evidence-based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2019
As part of traditional Chinese medicine, acupoints are considered a dynamic functional area, which can reflect the internal condition of the body. When the body is suffering from disease or injury, corresponding acupoints are believed to be activated and

Lack of association between acupoint sensitization and microcirculatory structural changes in a mouse model of knee osteoarthritis: A pilot study [PDF]

Journal of Biophotonics, 2019
As a stimulating point in acupuncture, acupoint has unique microcirculatory features, and its dynamics vary greatly depending on health status. Acupoint sensitization is defined as the transformation of an acupoint from a “silenced status” (healthy) to ...
