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.

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
