Effects of Electroacupuncture at ST36 on Visceral Pain and Inflammatory Markers in IBS Rats
Neurogastroenterology &Motility, Volume 38, Issue 5, May 2026.Electroacupuncture (EA) at ST36 significantly reduced visceral pain and colonic inflammation in IBS model rats. EA increased pain thresholds, lowered AWR scores, and downregulated key inflammatory mediators (IL‐1β, IL‐6, TNF‐α, TRPV1, NF‐κB). These findings highlight ST36‐targeted EA as a promising therapeutic strategy for IBS visceral hypersensitivity
