Article Synopsis
- Acupuncture has been shown to reduce inflammatory pain by activating mechanoreceptors in specific acupuncture points, which can influence the TRPA1 protein, a key player in sensing pain and inflammation.
- In experiments using mice, researchers used various methods to study how acupuncture affects TRPA1 expression and its role in pain relief, particularly at the Zusanli (ST36) point.
- Results indicated that acupuncture not only increased the presence of TRPA1-positive immune cells but also effectively reduced pain thresholds, suggesting that TRPA1 is crucial for the analgesic effects of acupuncture.*
