The Effect of Ankle Muscles Dry Needling on Brain Activity Map Based on fMRI: a Study Protocol for Randomized Controlled Trial
J Acupunct Meridian Stud. 2024 Jun 30;17(3):94-99. doi: 10.51507/j.jams.2024.17.3.94. ABSTRACT IMPORTANCE: Neuromodulation may be one of the underlying mechanisms of dry needling (DN); however, the mechanism has not yet been fully clarified. OBJECTIVE: This randomized controlled trial is designed to evaluate DN stimulation of the tibialis anterior and peroneus longus muscles in chronic ankle instability […]
Effect of heat-reinforcing needling on hypoxia-inducible factor 1alpha and glycolysis activity in rabbits with cold syndrome of rheumatoid arthritis
Zhen Ci Yan Jiu. 2024 Jun 25;49(6):585-593. doi: 10.13702/j.1000-0607.20230487. ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES: To observe the effect of heat-reinforcing needling (HRN) on synovial inflammation, hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) and glycolytic activity in serum and synovial tissue in rabbits with cold syndrome of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), so as to explore its mechanisms underlying improvement of RA. METHODS: A total […]
