Electroacupuncture-Induced Attenuation of Experimental Epilepsy: A Comparative Evaluation of Acupoints and Stimulation Parameters

Figure 5

Effects of 10 Hz/1 mA EA at different acupoints. (a) DU26 + DU14 ( ); (b) DU8 + EXB9 ( ); (c) LI11 + PC6 ( ); and (d) ST40 + KI1 ( ). * , ** EA groups versus the control. Note that EA at the acupoints of the head and neck (DU26 + DU14), the back (DU8 + EXB9), and the hindlimb (ST40 + KI1), but not the forelimb (LI11 + PC6), significantly attenuated seizures at several points after the KA injection.
