针刺治疗癌症过程中

运动患部或作广泛的伸展运动可提高镇痛疗效;针刺镇痛使用电针时可见明显的肢体抽动或局部肌颤

这些临床资料都表明针刺镇痛与运动系统有关。一些实验资料表明:针感来自深部组织

主要为肌肉;针感感受器以肌梭为主;针刺得气与肌电活动有关;针形电极插入肌肉时或在运动终板区微小的移动时;

可见到有关的电发放。以上资料提示

针刺时运动系统被兴奋

它可能是参与中枢镇痛的组成部分。我们已在In some previous studies we verified that the factor of moving plays a role in acupuncture analgesia. This study further examines the effect of wrist exercises on event-related potential and subjective pain report. Methods: The present expriments were performed on 20 normal adult subjects and patients with intact sensation. Painful stimuli were applied to a middle nerve of one side forelimb and the cerebral evoked potentials we- re recorded contralaterly and subjective pain reports were recorded. The subject exercised his contralateral wrist 2 to 4 times per second. The execise can produce significant analgesic rating. The effects was statistically significant (P<0.01). The amplitudes of the cerebral evoked potentials with latency 160-260ms component with close relation to pain si- gnificantly decreased. It was statistically significant (P<0.05). These results seem to indicate that moving wrist can inhibit the painful sense and factor of moving plays a role in analgesia. It is a partial physi- ological foundation of acupuncture analgesia.
