Neurohumors in acupuncture.

G Chen

    The American Journal of Chinese Medicine
    |January 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    Acupuncture may require increased neurohormones for biochemical responses. These substances, including sympathetic and parasympathetic neurohormones, are experimentally shown to influence pain relief and nerve signal transmission.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Neuroscience
    • Acupuncture Research

    Background:

    • Acupuncture's biochemical mechanisms are not fully understood.
    • The role of specific substances at reactive sites is a key area of investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the biochemical requirements for acupuncture's effects.
    • To identify potential substances, such as neurohormones, involved in acupuncture responses.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing experimental data on acupuncture.
    • Analysis of the role of neurohormones in physiological responses.

    Main Results:

    • An increase in certain substances at the acupuncture site appears necessary for a biochemical response.
    • Neurohormones, specifically sympathetic and parasympathetic types, are implicated.

    Conclusions:

    • Neurohormones are likely involved in acupuncture's biochemical effects.
    • Experimental evidence supports the involvement of neurohormones in analgesia and nerve impulse transmission via acupuncture.
