Abstract EN
To identify physical and sensory responses to acupuncture point stimulation (APS), nonacupuncture point stimulation (NAPS) and no stimulation (NS), changes in the high-frequency power spectrum before and after stimulation were evaluated with electroencephalography (EEG).
A total of 37 healthy subjects received APS at the LI4 point, NAPS, or NS with their eyes closed.
Background brain waves were measured before, during, and after stimulation using 8 channels.
Changes in the power spectra of gamma waves and high beta waves before, during, and after stimulation were comparatively analyzed.
After NAPS, absolute high beta power (AHBP), relative high beta power (RHBP), absolute gamma power (AGP), and relative gamma power (RGP) tended to increase in all channels.
But no consistent notable changes were found for APS and NS.
NAPS is believed to cause temporary reactions to stress, tension, and sensory responses of the human body, while APS responds stably compared to stimulation of other parts of the body.
