Acupuncture Treatment Research Studies

Decoding the fibroblast/mast cell signaling pathway of acupuncture

This study identifies a signaling pathway involving fibroblasts and mast cells that mediates acupuncture's therapeutic effects through mechanical stimulation and neuromodulatory molecule release.

Electroacupuncture promotes post-stroke motor recovery through miR-124-3p-mediated regulation of NRG1/ErbB4 signaling pathway

This study shows electroacupuncture improves post-stroke motor recovery in rats by modulating miR-124-3p and the NRG1/ErbB4 signaling pathway.

Acupuncture triggers earlier recovery from ischemic stroke than sham needling in a rat model

This study shows acupuncture at specific acupoints accelerates recovery from ischemic stroke in rats compared to sham needling, with effects observed in motor control regions.

Electroacupuncture regulates microglia activation through theSTING/NF-κB pathway to reduce pain in bone cancer pain mouse

This study shows electroacupuncture reduces bone cancer pain by inhibiting the STING/NF-κB pathway and microglia activation in the BLA.

Observation of electromyogram and electrocardiogram changes with deqi for the development of an objective evaluation index of the occurrence of deqi

This study uses EMG and ECG to identify objective indicators of deqi during acupuncture, finding increased myopotentials and inhibited HR decrease when deqi occurs.
