In current clinical practice, the localization of human acupuncture points relies extensively on the subjective experience of physicians. Therefore, despite being a crucial basic content of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), acupuncture point ...

Electrical Correlates of Acupuncture Points
IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 1975Employing a Wheatstone bridge, skin conductance was measured over those putative acupuncture points on the large intestine and pericardium meridians lying between the metacarpophalangeal joints and the elbow. Results were compared to those from anatomically similar locations devoid of acupuncture points.

Electrophysiological Assessment of Acupuncture Points
American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, 2006This study was designed to assess the occurrence of end plate noise (EPN) in an acupuncture point (AcP).Ten male and 10 female normal volunteers were included in this study. For each subject, mapping of the distribution of EPN loci in an AcP region of Stomach-36 in one leg selected randomly, and also in a nearby non-AcP region in the other leg as a ...

Ear Acupuncture Points in Neonates
The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, 2008The aim of this study was to determine the presence and absence of acupuncture ear points in healthy neonates.This was a prospective observational study performed at a university teaching hospital.The subjects were healthy neonates. We compared male and female neonates, right and left lobe, term and preterm deliveries, and cesarean sections versus ...

Trigger Point–Acupuncture Point Correlations Revisited
The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, 2003In 1977, Melzack and colleagues examined the possible correspondence of acupuncture points and trigger points for the treatment of pain. They claimed a 71% correspondence between these two classes of points. Their findings have influenced many researchers and practitioners but have not been examined since 1977. The current study explores the claim of a

THERMOVISUAL EVALUATION OF ACUPUNCTURE POINTS
Acupuncture & Electro-Therapeutics Research, 2001The aim of our study is to evaluate the temperature distributions around the acupuncture points and channels by visualizing the infrared emissions emanated from the human skin. Our thermal imaging system that is the most sensitive to 10μm long infrared wavelength allows us to recognize the actual location of acupuncture point and analyze its functional

Trigger Points and Classical Acupuncture Points
Deutsche Zeitschrift für Akupunktur, 2008Background: Data from a recently published study suggest that substantial anatomic, clinical, and physiologic overlap of myofascial trigger points (mTrPs) and acupoints exists in the treatment of pain disorders. Objective : To evaluate the anatomic relationships between classical acupoint locations and those of mTrPs both qualitatively and ...

Skeletogenesis and acupuncture points
Progress in Biophysics and Molecular BiologyThe formation of the embryo begins with a "calcium wave" that contributes to the creation of heterogeneities, and then some of them solidify. The further development and a collective information architecture of the embryo is controlled by the so-called morphogenetic field, whose nature is mainly associated with a physical inerton field that is a ...

Singular Point, Organizing Center and Acupuncture Point
The American Journal of Chinese Medicine, 1989A hypothesis is proposed on the nature of acupuncture point and organizing center, the role of meridian system in growth regulation, and the mechanism of acupuncture. Both organizing centers and acupuncture points have low electric resistance.

Acupuncture Points and Skin Impedance
Acupuncture in Medicine, 2013I enjoyed reading the recent article by Rezaei et al 1 in your journal. The authors measured skin impedance on the anterior forearm of 18 participants and found that the impedance of the acupoint PC4 and pericardial meridian were significantly lower than that of the surrounding skin. I would like to express my opinions as follows.
