However, even if acupuncture fashion, or doubts it however is a camouflage. Over the past few years, the researchers found, simply put the needle in the skin, it seems that you really can reduce the number of patients with pain, and stimulate a series of remarkable biological activities. However, this technology is clearly a very strong placebo effect, that is, its effect is likely to come from the psychological comfort. How will the effectiveness of acupuncture in neurobiology and psychological effects differentiate this field researchers concerned.
The existence of the "gas"?
TCM theory with the concept of the "gas" to explain the acupuncture treatment. Gas is a life energy, follow specific Meridian in General, this kind of running process disruption causing the disease. It is said, in 350 more points, the gas can be on the skin surface and acupuncturists use these acupoints, to influence the flow of energy, to restore the balance of the organism and to cure diseases.
Want accurate, scientifically defined acupuncture, you also need to solve a problem: many learned this treatment method of the State, has its own distinct "acupuncture" manner. France, Japan and Korea Edition of acupuncture on each disease using acupuncture points are not identical, to stimulate a wide variety of point of tools, including thermal stimulation, laser stimulation, even pressure. However, the most famous, is on most, or silver needle into the skin, and electrical stimulation or manual stimulation of the traditional way. Another problem is, so far, no one can find the Anatomy or physics of biological structure, to the corresponding "gas" and it runs of Meridian.
Although you cannot prove the existence of the "gas", I still have a lot of evidence to suggest that acupuncture can indeed affect biological function. Among them, the analgesic effects were the most thorough research. The first breakthrough came from China, Peking University neuroscience research center of Han jisheng. The 1970s and 1980s, his research team found that the body in acupuncture, will release a natural endogenous analgesics-endorphin (endorphins). He gave a group of rats conducted electrical acupuncture, and then the rat blood injection to others never received acupuncture in the control group in rats. As a result, the two sets of rats on pain are no longer so sensitive as before. Obviously, this is because the endogenous analgesics as blood is injected into the mouse in the control group.
Acupuncture pain vs
Over the years, a lot of people already know that acupuncture can in many cases to control pain. By stimulating nerve endings on the acupuncture treatment sites, you can trigger large amounts can affect the pain of substances secretion. Brain Brown tie (enkephalin) and strong Brown tie (dynorphin) is the body produces two natural opiates, they can inhibit spinal cord neurons of electrical activity. The doctor is to explain the analgesic effect of acupuncture and moxibustion direct-direct analgesic effect (immediate analgesic effect). As long as the PIN is in the skin, stimulating acupuncture brings the person's attention away from the pain site.
Other experts, like the University of Duisburg-Germany Aisen medicine and Western medicine branch of physicians Marcus · Becker (Marcus Baecker) believe that there is another principle, help patients after acupuncture treatment, to alleviate the pain for a long time. Spinal cord in a feature called (posterior horn) parts, it has inhibitory synaptic, can weaken the nerve conduction. Nerve to the brain's ability to pass signals has weakened, the pain will not be able to reach the brain, people do not feel pain.
But studies have shown that acupuncture of in-depth brain. China and the United States the Harvard Medical School scientist respectively in 2000 and 2002 published they used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). This technology can detect human neural activity, according to test results, the researchers will be able to determine, in the hands of the needle can change the brain's function. They found that the hippocampus and hypothalamus and other activities that are part of the limbic system is weakened, but these are precisely known and pain-related sites. When researchers stimulating specific points is also logged to the brain activities of somatosensory cortex has changed, and this part of the cortex involved in pain information processing.
Acupuncture trigger of hormones, neurotransmitters (serotonin) and the secretion of endorphins, can explain it in some other effects, including blood and immune cell function. Acupuncture can stimulate the release of a variety of factors, and cause the brain to function, and people have reason to believe that it can affect the body's many different systems. Some clinical evidence to support this view.
In 1997, the United States national institutes of Health Research Institute published the report claims that there was "clear evidence" that acupuncture has a range of diseases, including cancer surgery and chemotherapy nausea and vomiting in pregnancy in the early morning. The report also noted that there is "reasonable evidence" that acupuncture can ease the pain of surgery and the women of Dysmenorrhea. Also, acupuncture-induced discomfort than conventional treatments have side effects.
Maybe these biological evidence will make people feel about the effectiveness of acupuncture have been completely resolved. However, although some patients after acupuncture treatment, there is a better, but not sure if this is the role of acupuncture in itself.
Germany Munich University of Dominica · Breunig (Dominik Irnich) said that part of the secret lies in acupuncture and its psychological effects, the efficacy of acupuncture, "but because patients here get more attention. Between patients and doctors need across the table, the doctor will use the hand to touch and careful observation of the patients. In addition, they
Will continue to talk about medical conditions and symptoms. Typically, these alone is sufficient to treat process had a positive impact. ”
