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 ...

Acupuncture Points of the Cranial Nerves
The American Journal of Chinese Medicine, 1984An attempt is made to name most of the acupuncture points in the face and forehead region using anatomic nomenclature known to western medicine. All acupuncture points in the face and forehead region are located along terminal or cutaneous branches of the trigeminal nerve and the motor points formed between muscular branches of the facial nerve to the

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, 2003By 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. >

Acupuncture Points of the Brachial Plexus
The American Journal of Chinese Medicine, 1985This publication is the third of a total of six papers intended to name acupuncture points following the anatomic nomenclatures. In the first publication, acupuncture points in the head are named using terminal branches of the trigeminal nerve and the muscles of facial expression.

Safe Needling Depth of Acupuncture Points
The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, 2011The objective of this review is to investigate the existing scientific information on the safe needling depth of acupuncture points.The PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, AMED (Allied and Complementary Medicine), NCCAM (The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine), and CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure) databases were searched to ...

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

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.

Neurophysiological Demonstration of an Acupuncture Point in Man
The American Journal of Chinese Medicine, 1980Relationship 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.
