Study on the Cerebral Blood Flow Regulatory Features of Acupuncture at Acupoints of the Governor Vessel.

Many studies to clarify the influences of acupuncture at different acupoints of various meridians on cerebral blood flow (CBF) were conducted in the past. However, the influences of acupuncture at the points of the Governor Vessel on CBF have not yet been studied tangibly. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influences of acupuncture at individual acupoints of the Governor Vessel on cerebral hemodynamic indices.
