Do acupuncture points exist?

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 ...

Power Spectral Differences of Electrophysiological Signals Detected at Acupuncture Points and Non-Acupuncture Points

Acupuncture & Electro-Therapeutics Research, 2014
In this study, we chose 10 acupoints and non-acupuncture point control groups to see if there are electrical differences between acupoints and non-acupoints. 4 adjacent non-acupoints around each acupoint were chosen as a control group in 400 trials on 10 volunteers aged 23-30 years to characterize the Power Spectral Density of acupoint ...

A circuit model of acupuncture point and system model of acupuncture point-cerebral cortex

IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems, 2003
By combining the doctrine of traditional Chinese medicine with the theory of neural networks, a circuit model of acupoint is developed and its dynamic behavior is studied. Based on the brain wave caused by stimulating at three appropriate acupoints, a system model of the connections between the acupoints and the cerebral cortex can be estimated. >

Trigger Point–Acupuncture Point Correlations Revisited

The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, 2003
In 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

Neurophysiological Demonstration of an Acupuncture Point in Man

The American Journal of Chinese Medicine, 1980
Relationship between an acupuncture point and the nerve fascicle was demonstrated electro-physiologically. A tungsten microelectrode was inserted to the acupuncture point Chu-Tse percutaneously in an awake human subject. When the subject experienced the particular sensation of Teh-chi, nerve impulses were recorded simultaneously.
