Abstract:
Pain is a distressing experience in sensory,emotional,cognitive,and social dimensions associated with existed or potential tissue damage.Studies have demonstrated the efficacy of acupuncture analgesia,but the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood.Bioelectrical signals,as one of the basic characteristics of life activities,play a key role in the process of acu-puncture analgesia.Through advanced neurophysiological techniques and multimodal imaging,it has been found that acupuncture can trigger specific changes in bioelectric signals,thus producing analgesic effects.With the rapid development of modern medi-cal technology,the study of bioelectrical signals has gradually delved into the cellular and molecular levels,providing more possi-bilities to reveal the analgesic mechanism of acupuncture.This review focuses on the close connection between bioelectrical sig-naling phenomena and acupuncture analgesia mechanism,summarizes the current research status of bioelectrical signaling phe-nomena in acupuncture analgesia mechanism by collating related literature.The future research directions were prospected,ai-ming to provide theoretical basis and new ideas for further understanding and applying acupuncture analgesia.
