Electroacupuncture

Electroacupuncture is a form of acupuncture where a small electric current is passed through acupuncture needles.
It is used to treat a variety of conditions, including pain management, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular issues.
Electroacupuncture may help stimulate the release of the body's natural painkillers, such as endorphins, and can also affect blood circulation and body temperature.
Patients should consult with a licensed acupuncturist or healthcare provider to determine if electroacupuncture is an appropriate tratment option.

This is a two-armed, parallel-design, patient-assessor blinded, multicenter, randomized, sham-controlled pilot clinical trial. Two clinical research centers in South Korea will conduct the trial: Daejeon Oriental Hospital of Daejeon University and Kyung Hee University Oriental Hospital at Gangdong.
To recruit participants, flyers, daily local newspapers, and advertisement boards at research centers will be utilized. Potential candidates will visit the research centers for screening assessment and to sign informed consent for trial participation after being informed about the aim and details of the study. Eligible participants will be randomly allocated at a 1:1 ratio to one of two arms: electroacupuncture plus moxibustion (treatment group) or sham acupuncture with mock electrical stimulation plus sham moxibustion (control group). Participants will receive treatment for 8 weeks and then visit the research centers twice during a 4-week follow-up period (Fig. 1).

The inflammatory pain test was performed on days −1, 0, 1, 3, 5, and 7 after CFA injection or EA according to previous work.3 (link) In brief, 25 µL of CFA (1 mg/mL; Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) was subcutaneously injected into the right hind paw at day 0 (CFA group). Twenty-five microliters of phosphate-buffered saline (pH 7.4) were injected as control (Sham group).
Mice in CFA+EA group received EA stimulation under anesthetization with 1% sevoflurane; Sham group and CFA group were similarly anesthetized at the same time. For the EA stimulation, 2 needles, 0.3 × 13 mm (Yunlong, China), were inserted at a depth of 1.5 mm in the right hind leg at acupoints corresponding to Zusanli (ST36) and Sanyinjiao (SP6), as described previously.22 (link) The needles were connected to HANS LH202H Han's acupoint nerve stimulator (Beijing Hua Wei Industrial Development Co, Beijing, China). Electroacupuncture stimulation (2-15 Hz alternating wave, 1.0 mA) was initiated after CFA injection and lasted for 30 minutes. This process was repeated every 2 days (Fig. 1). Sham eletroacupuncture (SEA) was acupuncture needle insertion into acupoints without electrical stimulation or manual needle manipulation.45

In the EA group, electroacupuncture treatment was performed once a day for 15 days (no treatment on the eight day). The prescription of acupuncture points included DU20 Baihui, DU 26 Shuigou, and EX-HN3 Yintang (the significant extra point). The locations of these points were according to the National Acupuncture Society for Experimental Research developed the “laboratory animal acupuncture atlas”. Huatuo card 30#, 0.5 inch needle was used for treatment. Pricking method was used for DU 26 Shuigou; flat thorn method was used for DU20 Baihui and EX-HN3 Yintang. Needle depth was 0.5 cm and taped. The needle handle was connected with HANS-LH202 electroacupuncture device (Peking University Institute of Science Nerve and Beijing Hua Wei Industrial Development Company), sparse wave, 2 Hz of the frequency, 2 V of the voltage, and 0.6 mA of the current intensity.
In the Rc group and ADc group, do not do any treatment under the same rearing conditions, while grabbing and bondage the mice in order to ensure the same treatment conditions, once a day, 15 days.

All experiments were approved according to the Ethics Committee the Institutional Animal Welfare and Use Committee of the Institute of Acupuncture-Moxibustion, China Academy of Chinese Medicine (no. 20170313). 32 Sprague-Dawley (SD) male rats (SPF grade, 12 weeks, 180-200 g) were purchased from Chengdu Dossy Experimental Animals Co., Ltd. (Chengdu, Sichuan; SCXY (Chuan) 2020-034). The feeding environment was 23 ± 1°C, relative humidity 50 ± 5%, and light/darkness for 12 h circulation. SD rats are allowed to eat and drink freely. The SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 8), namely, the control group, colitis model group, Zusanli electroacupuncture (Zusanli-EA) group, and sham electroacupuncture (sham-EA) group. For the colitis model group, rats were gavaged with 5% (w/v) dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) saline solution (MP Biomedicals, Santa Ana, California, USA) for 4 days (50 mL/d) as previously described [15 (link), 16 (link)]. The status of rats was monitored using the disease activity index (DAI) [17 (link)]. Meanwhile, the control group rats were gavaged an equal volume of saline solution. For the Zusanli-EA group, electroacupuncture was immediately performed under isoflurane inhalation anesthesia after modeling. Rats received electroacupuncture treatment at Zusanli acupoint (ST36, bilateral) using 1.0-inch filigree needles (0.25 mm × 13 mm, Huatuo Brand, depth of about 7 mm). An electroacupuncture treatment device (G6805-2A, Huatuo Brand) was from Suzhou Medical Appliance Factory, China. The electroacupuncture parameter is a dilute wave with 2/100 Hz, the intensity of 1 mA, and performed for 15 minutes, once a day, for 21 consecutive days as previously described [18 (link)]. For the sham-EA group, rats were anesthetized by inhalation of 3–4% isoflurane and then received sham electroacupuncture with a pragmatic placebo needle on sham acupoints. The neurological function and DAI score of rats were tested per week. At the end of the 3-week administration, all rats were anesthetized with 1% sodium pentobarbital (50 mg/kg) and euthanized. The colon tissues, serum, ipsilateral lumbar 6 (L6) dorsal root ganglia (DRG), and nearby skin were removed and kept at -80°C for subsequent analysis. The flow of subjects through the experimental procedure is described in Figure 1(a).

Optogenetic activation or inhibition experiments were performed 3 weeks after viral expression. Chronically implantable fibers were connected to a laser generator using optic fiber sleeves. A Master-8 pulse stimulator (Shanghai Fiblaser Technology Co., Ltd., China) was used to deliver a 5-min pulse of blue (473 nm, 10 Hz, 5–8 mW) or yellow light (594 nm, 5–8 mW, constant). In optogenetic inhibition experiments, yellow light was given immediately after establishing the GD model and gastric motility was recorded for 20 min; The control group was not given yellow light after establishing the GD model. In the optogenetic activation experiment, gastric motility was recorded for 20 min immediately after the application of blue light in the light group and in the absence of light in the control group; in the EA group, electroacupuncture was performed for 20 min immediately after the blue light and gastric motility was recorded at the end of the electroacupuncture treatment.

More about "Electroacupuncture"

Electroacupuncture (EA) is a form of acupuncture where a small electric current is passed through acupuncture needles.
This technique is used to treat a variety of conditions, including pain management, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular issues.
EA may help stimulate the release of the body's natural painkillers, such as endorphins, and can also affect blood circulation and body temperature.
Patients should consult with a licensed acupuncturist or healthcare provider to determine if electroacupuncture is an appropriate treatment option.
Researching EA can be optimized using tools like PubCompare.ai, which utilizes AI-driven analysis to identify the best protocols and products from literature, pre-prints, and patents.
This ensures reproducibility and maximizes the impact of your research.
Releatd terms and subtopics include transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS), electrostimulation, neuromodulation, and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).
Abbreviations like EA and TRPV1 (transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily V member 1) are also relevant.
Additional information from resources like SAS 9.4, DSS (decision support system), and CFA (confirmatory factor analysis) can provide valuable insights.
For example, Donepezil hydrochloride tablets, a medication used to treat Alzheimer's disease, has been studied in combination with EA for its potential neuroprotective effects.
Similarly, BP-98A, a novel compound, and Trpv1−/− mice, which lack the TRPV1 receptor, have been used to investigate the mechanisms of EA.
NMR spectrometry and MestReNova software can be utilized to analyze the chemical compositions and structures of EA-related products and compounds.
