Abstract:
By summarizing and analyzing the research status of the influence of needling different acupoints on heart rate variability (HRV) and autonomic nervous function, it is found that Neiguan (PC 6), Zusanli (ST 36) and Shenmen (HT 7) are common acupoints for HRV analysis involving Tongli (HT 5), Hegu (LI 4), Taichong (LR 3), Zhongwan (RN 12), Danzhong (RN 17), Xinshu (BL 15), Shenshu (BL 23) and other acupoints. Different acupoints have different influences on HRV but followed by some rules, which are possibly related to the efficacy of acupoints, meridian tropism and acupoint distributions. Needling on the same acupoint also has different influences on HRV, which is possibly affected by sample size, intervention object, data processing method and other factors, so more standardized measurement process is required in further studies.
