Parametric Studies on Electroacupuncture-Like Stimulation in a Rat Model: Effects of Intensity, Frequency, and Duration of Stimulation on Evoked Antinociception
Abstract
We have found that electroacupuncture-like stimulation of defined sites in the hindlimb of the rat inhibits a nociceptive withdrawal reflex. The lightly anaesthetized rat was used and tall withdrawal from a noxious radiant heat stimulus was the nociceptive reflex. Standard stimulation of hindlimb meridian points femur-futu (ST-32), fengshi (GB-31), and zusanli (ST-36) consisted of a 2-ms square voltage pulse at 4 Hz for a duration of 20 min, …
