Strong Manual Acupuncture Stimulation of “Huantiao” (GB 30) Reduces Pain-Induced Anxiety and p-ERK in the Anterior Cingulate Cortex in a Rat Model of Neuropathic Pain
Figure 1
Bilateral changes in nociceptive behaviors after L5 spinal nerve ligation (SNL) in control (non-SNL control, Cont), SNL alone (SNL control, SNL), SNL+ EA stimulation (EA), SNL+ mMA stimulation (mMA), and SNL+ sMA stimulation (sMA) groups. Pain hypersensitivity is measured by ipsilateral and contralateral hind paw withdrawal thresholds (PWTs, g) in response to mechanical stimulation. versus control group at each time-point; versus SNL group at each time-point.
