Abstract:
By organizing literature, summarizing and analyzing the relevant experimental and clinical studies, this article analyzed the study status of the analgesic action of electroacupuncture with different frequencies from the chemical mechanism, neuro- physical mechanism, molecular mechanism, and action mechanism. It brought up that electroacupuncture of different frequencies can activate different regions in the central system and generate different central opioid peptides, excite different receptors and afferent neurons, and different acupuncture manipulations can induce different neural electrical information encoding sequences. This article has provided theoretical evidences for future researches on the mechanism of acupuncture analgesia.
