- The advantages of acupuncture anesthesia in clinical practice
In clinical practice, acupuncture anesthesia presents a multitude of advantages, pivotal among these being Body System Protection. This technique supports the body's natural defenses, reducing the physiological stress often associated with surgical procedures. By modulating the body's response to pain, acupuncture anesthesia allows for a lower Dosage of Medication, significantly reducing the potential for drug-related side effects. Furthermore, this approach plays a crucial role in Emotion Regulation, helping patients maintain a calm and stable emotional state, which is essential for a positive surgical outcome. The impact of acupuncture on the nervous system not only aids in Pain Relief but also promotes Enhanced Recovery After Surgery. Patients tend to experience faster recuperation times, attributed to the holistic nature of this method. Additionally, acupuncture anesthesia is associated with a Lower Incidence of Side Effects compared to conventional anesthetics. Its ability to modulate and balance the body's responses makes it an invaluable tool in the realm of modern medicine, offering a safer, more patient-centered approach to pain management and recovery.

| 34408622 | Interestingly, the long-term analgesic effect of EA is antagonized by β-END and enkephalin (ENK) antagonists, but not by dynorphin A (DYN) antagonists, indicating that the β-ENDs released due to acupuncture stimulation act on μ- and δ-opioid receptors and inhibit peripheral inflammatory pain. | Front Neurosci. 2021 Aug 2;15:695670. doi: 10.3389/fnins.2021.695670. eCollection 2021. | Analgesic Effect Inflammatory Pain | Review |
| 34408622 | In summary, the interactions between the peripheral nervous system and immune system that underly the effect of acupuncture on inflammatory pain include the following: (1) Acupuncture can induce the migration of immune cells containing analgesic substances to target organs, where they release opioid peptides, cannabinoids, and other analgesic substances to achieve analgesia by blocking peripheral sensitization. | Front Neurosci. 2021 Aug 2;15:695670. doi: 10.3389/fnins.2021.695670. eCollection 2021. | Immunity Inflammatory Pain | Review |

| 34408622 | Therefore, acupuncture produces an analgesic effect by preventing the activation of the ERK1/2-COX-2 pathway and ERK1/2-CREB-NK-1 pathway at different stages of inflammatory pain progression. | Front Neurosci. 2021 Aug 2;15:695670. doi: 10.3389/fnins.2021.695670. eCollection 2021. | Analgesic Effect Inflammatory Pain | Review |
| 34408622 | These studies together show that acupuncture inhibits the communication and interaction between glial cells and neurons by reducing the phosphorylation of p38 MAPK, inhibiting the ERK and JNK pathways, decreasing the levels of pro-inflammatory factors, and increasing the levels of anti-inflammatory factors, thereby relieving inflammatory pain. | Front Neurosci. 2021 Aug 2;15:695670. doi: 10.3389/fnins.2021.695670. eCollection 2021. | Inflammatory Pain | Review |
| 34408622 | Taken together, these data suggest that acupuncture modulates inflammatory pain by reducing neuroglial interactions and inhibiting the expression and phosphorylation of glutamate receptors and that it promotes glutamate reuptake by increasing the expression of glutamate transporters in astrocytes. | Front Neurosci. 2021 Aug 2;15:695670. doi: 10.3389/fnins.2021.695670. eCollection 2021. | Inflammatory Pain | Review |
