Abstract:
40 healthy male students from 19-26 years of age were studied on the changes of ECG before and after the exact Hegu electroacupuncture once and 8 times. 20 among 40 these students were done electroacupuncture outside the Hegu. The investigated parameters included: frequency, amplitude, rate of alpha, beta, theta-delta waves in the occipital and temporal regions. The results are following: + After the Hegu electroacupuncture once and 8 times, amplitude and rate of alpha waves increased remarkably in the occipital and temporal regions. After the Hegu electroacupuncture 8 times, amplitude of beta and thetadenta waves reduced in the occipital region. + After the Hegu electroacupuncture once and 8 times, rates of beta and theta-delta waves reduced significationtly in the occipital and temporal regions.
