Electroacupuncture Reduces Cocaine-Induced Seizures and Mortality in Mice

Table 1

EA (50 Hz) applied to GV14 and GV20 reduced the incidence of cocaine-induced seizures but did not alter the incidence of procaine-induced seizures.

	Control	EA 50 Hz
Cocaine (75 mg/kg; i.p.)	20/21	14/21*
Procaine (250 mg/kg; i.p.)	8/9	8/9

The proportion of mice exhibiting seizures is shown here. The effects of cocaine, alone and in combination with EA, were compared by Fisher’s exact test (*P < 0.05). Similarly, the effects of procaine, alone and in combination with EA, were compared.
