Randomized Controlled Trial
[Effects of electroacupuncture on bispectral index and plasma beta-endorphin in patients undergoing colonoscopy].
To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on bispectral index (BIS) and plasma beta-endorphin (beta-EP) level in patients undergoing colonoscopy. ⋯ Acupuncture analgesia can effectively lower the colonoscopy patients' BIS value and plasma beta-EP level, meaning attenuation of the patients' stress responses during colonoscopy after EA.

To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) of "Huantiao" (GB 30) and "Weizhong" (BL 40) on the mechanical pain threshold and the long-term potentiation (LTP) of the spinal dorsal horn in rats with neuropathic pain. ⋯ EA of "Huantiao" (GB 30) and "Weizhong" (BL 40) can significantly relieve neuropathic pain in rats with nerve injury, and inhibit C-fiber high-frequency-stimulation induced LTP due to central sensitization induced abnormality synaptic transmission.
