Efficacy of Electroacupuncture (Electro-acupuncture)
Electroacupuncture, based on traditional acupuncture, applies micro-particles of controllable pulsed electrical stimulation through needles. The stimulation is more stable, parameters are quantifiable, and the analgesic and regulatory effects are often more lasting than those of manual acupuncture alone.
Main Functions
- Analgesia and Spasmolysis: Promotes the release of endorphins and serotonin, inhibits pain signals, and relieves neck, shoulder, back, and leg pain, osteoarthritis, neuralgia, and postoperative pain; improves muscle spasms and stiffness, with particularly prominent effects on chronic pain.
- Improved Circulation and Anti-inflammatory Effects: Increases local blood flow, reduces edema, regulates inflammatory factors, and aids in soft tissue injury and postoperative recovery.
- Neurological and Rehabilitation Regulation: Helps improve limb function, spasticity, and swallowing difficulties after stroke, as well as peripheral nerve damage, and promotes neuroplasticity.
- Regulates Mind, Body, and Internal Organs: Helps relieve insomnia, anxiety, and tension, balances the autonomic nervous system; helpful for gastrointestinal dysfunction and some postoperative nausea and vomiting.
Traditional Chinese Medicine Viewpoints
Unblocking meridians, harmonizing qi and blood, and strengthening the body's resistance while eliminating pathogenic factors; based on syndrome differentiation and acupoint selection and electrical parameters (frequency/waveform/intensity), to achieve "free flow, no pain" and balance of the internal organs and yin and yang.
