Information Models of Acupuncture Analgesia and Meridian Channels

Abstract: Acupuncture and meridian channels have been major components of Chinese and Eastern Asian medicine-especially for analgesia-for over 2000 years. In recent decades, electroacupuncture (EA) analgesia has been applied clinically and experimentally. However, there were controversial results between different treatment frequencies, or between the active and the placebo treatments; and the mechanisms of the treatments and the related meridian channels are still unknown. In this study, we propose a new term of infoph… Show more

“…[17] We consider interstitial tissues between the blood vessels and alveoli as meridian channels. [21] The draw is not to the scale The completely blocked blood vessels do not provide any transportation of the nutrition. The partially blocked blood vessels decrease the blood flow rates by narrowing the blood vessels, increasing the viscosity, or forcing the red blood cells (RBC) to have to flow in a side way or become severe deformed.…”
