Acupuncture in Medicine, 2011central sensitisation. These phenomena, although evoked within a matter of minutes, can outlast the surgical tissue injury for several hours or days and drive acute postoperative pain until the surgical wound has healed. 4 Pre-emptive analgesia is a treatment that prevents establishment of the altered sensory processing that amplifi es postoperative ...

Acupuncture Analgesia in China
The American Journal of Chinese Medicine, 1975A delegation of ten Canadian anaesthetists visited the People's Republic of China in April and May 1974 and observed 87 surgical and 19 dental operations under acupuncture analgesia. In 80% of the cases observed the analgesia appeared adequate for the conduct for the planned surgery, The utilization of acupuncture analgesia varied from hospital to ...

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

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.

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.

Hypno-Analgesia and Acupuncture Analgesia: a Neurophysiological Reality?
Neuropsychobiology, 1975The 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 ...

Neural mechanism underlying acupuncture analgesia
Progress in Neurobiology, 2008Acupuncture has been accepted to effectively treat chronic pain by inserting needles into the specific "acupuncture points" (acupoints) on the patient's body. During the last decades, our understanding of how the brain processes acupuncture analgesia has undergone considerable development.

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

SCIENTIFIC BASES OF ACUPUNCTURE ANALGESIA
Acupuncture & Electro-Therapeutics Research, 2002The present paper was to review the physiological bases of acupuncture analgesia (AA) on normal subjects, patients, and animals. Effect of acupuncture on pain perception in normal subjects was studied and compared with sham acupuncture. It was shown that the analgesic effect of acupuncture has its physiological basis.
