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 ...

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.

Acupuncture points and cutaneous nerves
Experientia, 1979In view of the number of workers who have confirmed the presence of cutaneous nerves beneath acupuncture points, a plea is made not to dismiss them too lightly or hastily at this point in the search for the mechanisms of acupuncture.

Physics in Medicine and Biology, 2009
We used synchrotron x-ray fluorescence analysis to probe the distribution of four chemical elements in and around acupuncture points, two located in the forearm and two in the lower leg. Three of the four acupuncture points showed significantly elevated concentrations of elements Ca, Fe, Cu and Zn in relation to levels in the surrounding tissue, with ...
