Electroacupuncture in the Treatment of Obesity
Neurochemical Research, 2008Obesity is becoming one of the most common health problems in the world. Many other disorders, such as hypertension and diabetes are considered as the consequences of obesity. Since effective remedies are rare (only two drugs, Orlistat and Sibutramine, were officially approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for long-term obesity treatment so ...

Neuroscience Letters, 2000
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.

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 ...

Postoperative Benefits with Electroacupuncture
Acupuncture in Medicine, 2010Although there is a long history of electrical treatment in medicine, from the ancient use of electric fish for analgesia to Berlioz's early experiments with electrostimulation through needles,1 formal electroacupuncture was not introduced in China until the 1950s. The first Chinese electrostimulators were certainly unsophisticated compared with modern

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.

Electroacupuncture stimulates hypothalamic aromatization
Brain Research, 2005We have previously reported that the repeated electroacupuncture (EA) stimulation significantly increased the concentrations of circulating estradiol and restored the depressed function of the hypothalamus-pituitary-ovary axis (HPOA) in ovariectomized (OVX) rats.

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

Monoaminergic mechanism of electroacupuncture analgesia
Brain Research, 1981We studied the effects of systemic injections of monoamine depletors, enhancers or receptor blockers on electroacupuncture analgesia (EAA) in mice. The following results emerged. (i) EAA is reduced by depletors of monoamines (tetrabenazine, TBZ depletes all monoamines; para-chlorophenylalanine, PCPA depletes serotonin; alpha-methyl-para-tyrosine, AMPT ...
