The present study used instruments to control needle depth, lifting and thrusting frequency, and the duration of acupuncture. Effects of the quantified acupuncture were observed at Neiguan （PC6） with different stimulation parameters. A frequency of 1, 2, or 3 Hz and duration of 5, 60, or 180 seconds were used to observe cerebral blood flow and ratio of infarct volume recovery. Results showed that stimulation at Neiguan with a frequency of 1 Hz and long duration of 180 seconds or 2/3 Hz and long duration of 5/60 seconds significantly increased cerebral blood flow and decreased the ratio of infarct volume. In- teractions between frequency and duration play a critical role in quantified acupuncture therapy.展开更多

In recent years, acupuncture stimulation as a non-pharmacological therapy has shown significant efficacy in the prevention and treatment of PONV. This review mainly discusses the current research on using PC6 stimulation to prevent PONV in ambulatory surgery patients, elucidates the various effects and mechanisms of PC6 stimulation, analyzes the advantages and disadvantages, safety, and feasibility of different stimulation methods, aiming to improve the postoperative recovery quality of ambulatory surgery patients, reduce medical costs, and promote the application of integrative medicine in the prevention and treatment of PONV.展开更多
