Hypno-Analgesia and Acupuncture Analgesia: a Neurophysiological Reality?
Neuropsychobiology, 2008The effects of hypnosis, acupuncture and analgesic drugs on the subjective experience of pain and on objective neurophysiological parameters were investigated. Pain was produced by brief electric stimuli on the wrist. Pain challengers were: hypnosis (induced by two different video tapes), acupuncture (at specific and unspecific loci, with and without ...

Caudate Nucleus and Acupuncture Analgesia
Acupuncture & Electro-Therapeutics Research: International Journal of Integrated Medicine, 1981Stimulation of the caudate nucleus in man was able to relieve intractable pain due to late malignancies, and the analgesia was similar in some aspects to that produced by acupuncture. Experiments performed on rabbits demonstrated that caudate stimulation raised pain threshold and enhanced electroacupuncture analgesia (EA), while caudate lesion resulted

Neurochemical Basis of Acupuncture Analgesia
Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology, 1982A review on acupuncture and its neurochemical basis may not seem to be within the general scope of this series. However, the phenomenon has attracted the interest of scientists from several disciplines, including phar macologists, and the use of drugs as probes has been instrumental in estab lishing the neurochemical basis of acupuncture.

Central Neurotransmitters and Acupuncture Analgesia
The American Journal of Chinese Medicine, 1980The role played by central neurotransmitters in acupuncture analgesia was evaluated by correlating neurochemical changes in central nervous system with the acupuncture effect, as well as modification of the acupuncture effects by pharmacological manipulations of central neurotransmitters. The results of experimental studies which were performed mainly

A psychophysical analysis of acupuncture analgesia
Pain, 1984A psychophysical analysis of acupuncture analgesia was carried out in which low back pain patients made visual analogue scale (VAS) responses both to their chronic pain and to different levels of experimental heat pain (5 sec exposures to 43-51 degrees C) before and after electroacupuncture.

Practical Application of Acupuncture Analgesia
Nature, 1973Acupuncture analgesia can sometimes be considered as an alternative to drugs, but it cannot be considered as a universal replacement. There are certain cases, however, where acupuncture analgesia is better than drugs and this technique needs to be developed further in order to assess its true significance.

Neurophysiological interpretation of acupuncture analgesia
Endeavour, 1980Abstract Acupuncture is an emotive topic, tending to be the subject either of extravagant claims or of ill-informed criticism. The author of this review is very familiar with both the theory and practice of acupuncture analgesia in China and with the current status of neurophysiology in western science. He is thus able to show that there is in fact a
