Neck pain is considered one of the most prevalent global public health problems. This study aimed to compare the immediate and subsequent effects of traditional acupuncture (TA) and laser acupuncture (LA) therapies in individuals with chronic non-specific neck pain. Eighty-four individuals were randomly allocated into 3 groups: TA (needle acupuncture treatment), LA (laser acupuncture treatment: 808 nm; 100 mW; 10 J per point), and S-LA (sham laser acupuncture).

Methods: Thirty-two C57BL/6J male mice were randomly divided into a control group, a model group, an EA group and a paroxetine (PRX) group, with 8 mice in each one. Modified SPS method was used to establish PTSD model in the model group, the EA group and the PRX group.

Objectives: To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) pre-conditioning on the expression rhythm of clock gene Bmal1 in the uterine tissue of rats with controlled ovarian hyperstimulation(COH), so as to explore its mechanisms underlying improvement of the endometrial receptivity of ovarian superovulation during implantation.
Methods: Seventy-two female SD rats with typical estrous cycles were randomly divided into normal control, model and EA pre-conditioning (pre-EA) groups, with 24 rats in each group. The COH model was established by giving the rats with pregnant mare serum gonadotropin (PMSG) and human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) by intraperitoneal injection.

Background: Exercise has been proven to be an efficient intervention in attenuating neuropathic pain. However, the underlying mechanisms that drive exercise analgesia remain unknown. In this study, we aimed to examine the role of complement component 3 (C3) in neuropathic pain and whether antinociceptive effects are produced by exercise via regulating C3 in mice.
