Abstract:
ObjectiveTo investigate the time characteristics of brain function induced by acupuncture at acupoint of LI4(Hegu).MethodsThe data of functional magnetic resonance imaging(fMRI) induced by acupuncture at acupoint LI4(Hegu) was processed with modified temporal cluster analysis(MTCA) to obtain the time and trend of brain function.ResultsThe stimulation of acupuncture at acupoint LI4 induced the change of brain function,and time curve of brain functional during the acupuncture experiment was obtained.ConclusionThe effect of acupuncture at acupoint LI4(Hegu) on brain function has time characteristics.
