Electroacupuncture (#EA ) has shown anti-inflammatory potential in #gouty #arthritis (GA). This study aimed to investigate its therapeutic effects and underlying mechanisms. Core acupoints (ST36 and SP6) were identified through data-mining. In MSU-induced GA rats, EA significantly alleviated joint swelling, improved gait, reduced serum TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β, and suppressed synovial inflammatory infiltration. Mechanistically, EA… Continue reading Electroacupuncture alleviates acute gouty arthritis by inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome activation via modulation of the circadian-inflammation axis

Electroacupuncture at ST36 Alleviates Visceral Hypersensitivity by Suppressing Eosinophil-Induced TRPV1 Expression on Duodenum
Background and aims: #Electroacupuncture (EA) has been reported to have a therapeutic potential for visceral #hypersensitivity. Recent studies have highlighted the crucial role of the duodenum in visceral hypersensitivity, suggesting it as a potential therapeutic target. This study investigates how EA regulates visceral hypersensitivity in the duodenum.Method: We established a visceral hypersensitivity model in rats… Continue reading Electroacupuncture at ST36 Alleviates Visceral Hypersensitivity by Suppressing Eosinophil-Induced TRPV1 Expression on Duodenum
Electroacupuncture for slow flow/no-reflow in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: a pilot randomized controlled trial
Background: Slow flow/no-reflow (SF-NR) complicates up to 44% of percutaneous #coronary interventions ( #PCI) for acute myocardial infarction (#AMI), worsening prognosis. Electroacupuncture (EA) may mitigate SF-NR, but clinical evidence is limited.Objective: This trial was designed to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of intraoperative EA in reducing SF-NR during PCI for AMI patients.Design setting and participants… Continue reading Electroacupuncture for slow flow/no-reflow in patients with acute myocardial infarction undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: a pilot randomized controlled trial
Electroacupuncture to point Baihui confers anxiolytic effects by promoting oxytocin release from PVN in Mice
Background: #Anxiety disorders-including generalized anxiety disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, and social anxiety disorder-are highly prevalent psychiatric conditions that impose substantial clinical and social burdens. Preclinical and clinical studies have shown that #electroacupuncture (EA) can effectively alleviate anxiety-like behaviors; however, the specific neural circuits and molecular mechanisms underlying EA's therapeutic effects remain incompletely elucidated.Methods: We first… Continue reading Electroacupuncture to point Baihui confers anxiolytic effects by promoting oxytocin release from PVN in Mice
