This study looks at fMRI in 5 subjects during heat pain, and then with Optimal electroacupuncture and Minimal electroacupuncture. Both types of acupuncture suppressed the brain activation from heat pain, but the optimal electroacupuncture more so. They used 5Hz electroacupuncture

So I’ll go ahead and post it here. I’ve been working on my poster presentation and I will probably try to illustrate how I use the HRV to help guide my treatments rather than try to convince anyone of the
There have been a number of recent studies about acupuncture for children. I think the problem comes with the number of visits needed for the conditions they describe below. It’s hard enough for adults to keep up with their acupuncture
File this under “The Things We Don’t Know.” I really don’t know what to make of these kinds of studies, but am fascinated by them because of all the implications if they prove to be reproducible. Could magnets be used,
Hi all. Here is my abstract I’m submitting for an Acupuncture Research Conference in the fall. I hope they accept it. If so, I’ll have a poster presentation, the lowest rung of a research presentation, but they’re fun to do.
This study is from the same group I’ve linked to and discussed here, here and here. This is Part 1, so I’ll be looking forward to their further studies coming up. There is the added advantage that you can view
So PCOS stands for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. And HRV stands for Heart Rate Variability, a measure of autonomic balance, or in layman’s terms, the stress response or relaxation response.I wanted to try to illustrate the gist of my research interest.
This is another case study. This patient had severe peripheral neuropathy in her feet when she presented to the clinic. She suspected that it was due to a statin she was taking so discontinued it. She also had blood pressure
I feel obliged to link to this study since it combines my interest in HRV, and acupuncture. But it is not as awesome as I would like since it uses a point combination that I don’t understand, and it doesn’t
