Abstrakt: The article discusses research study on the significant differences in functional magnetic resonance imaging subsequent to cutaneous and routine acupuncture at different acupoints. The study examined 31 healthy volunteer and were divided in several acupoints including Neiguan, Waiguan, and Yanglingquan. Results revealed that acupuncture application on acupoints exhibit similar treatment effects but no significant differences detected in activation intensity in regions of interests (ROIs).
