Safety Aspects of Electroacupuncture
Acupuncture in Medicine, 2011This issue of Acupuncture in Medicine includes three papers that describe adverse events related to the use of electroacupuncture (EA) ( see articles on pages 88, 143 and 147 ).1,–,3 There are few reports in the literature of such adverse events, and this is likely to be as a result of relative under-reporting of the minor events.

Ocular Hypotension Induced by Electroacupuncture
Journal of Ocular Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 2002The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) on aqueous humor dynamics in rabbits. EA stimulation was performed through two acupuncture needles placed in close proximity to the sciatic nerve. The sites of needle entry were anesthetized.

Electroacupuncture: mechanisms and clinical application
Biological Psychiatry, 1998Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese method to treat diseases and relieve pain. We have conducted a series of studies to examine the mechanisms of this ancient method for pain relief. This article reviews some of our major findings. Our studies showed that acupuncture produces analgesic effect and that electroacupuncture (EA) is more effective than manual

Electroacupuncture ameliorates neuroinflammation in animal models
Acupuncture in Medicine, 2022Background: Neuroinflammation refers to a wide range of immune responses occurring in the brain or spinal cord. It is closely related to a variety of neurodegenerative diseases, for which it potentially represents a new direction for treatment. Electroacupuncture (EA) is one method of acupuncture treatment, which can be used as an adjuvant therapy for ...

Resolution of Trigger Finger with Electroacupuncture
Medical Acupuncture, 2023Trigger finger (TF; a type of stenosing tenosynovitis) is common, affecting the flexor tendons of the hand, often causing significant pain and functional impairment. Treatment can include splinting, corticosteroid injection, or surgical release. There is little published research on the role of electroacupuncture (EA) for treating TF.After more than 1 ...

Electroacupuncture for Sciatica
Deutsche Zeitschrift für Akupunktur, 2008This article introduces the electroacupuncture (EA) clinical studies database at www.electroacupunctureknowledge.com and demonstrates how it can be used in conjunction with other available literature to develop a treatment protocol for a common condition such as sciatica. A comprehensive search

Plain acupuncture uses manipulation (rotation or varying the depth of insertion of the needle) to increase its effect. However, in commonly used electroacupunture (EA), variable manipulations have not been used. This study was performed to investigate the possibility of an increase in analgesic effect by adding manipulation to EA.

Neuroscience Letters, 2003
Nocistatin (NST) and nociception/orphanin FQ (OFQ) are peptides derived from the same precursor that play opposing roles in pain modulation. OFQ antagonizes morphine analgesia and electroacupuncture (EA)-induced antinociceptive effect. The present study investigates whether NST potentiates EA-induced antinociceptive effect and reverses chronic ...

Advances in Skin & Wound Care, 2013
Maximizing the effectiveness of any wound treatment requires that normal wound-healing dynamics are appreciated. In considering adjuvant wound therapies, the clinical evidence supporting a therapy must be fully understood. The biological changes associated with electroacupuncture can have a positive effect on wound healing, although limited clinical ...
