“…articles were published between 2013 and 2023. Among them, six studies were conducted in the United States (Studies 1-6), [19][20][21][22][23][24] and the remaining seven studies were carried out in China (Studies 7-13). [25][26][27][28][29][30][31] Ten studies used acupuncture (eight used manual acupuncture, and two used electro-acupuncture), while three studies used moxibustion.…”

“…54,55 Acupuncture with expectancy was found to alleviate KOA pain better than regular acupuncture, and this central mechanism was correlated with an increased FC between NAc and the medial PFC/ rACC/dlPFC. 23 Since NAc and ACC are involved in emotion, motivation and reward-related behaviors, 56,57 functional changes in these regions can lead to emotional and cognitive problems in patients with KOA pain. Acupuncture could improve KOA pain by regulating these brain areas in the limbic system.…”

Acupuncture has been widely applied for treating knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Numerous studies have found that acupuncture can effectively alleviate KOA symptoms. With the advancement of neuroimaging techniques, integrating neuroimaging with indepth investigations of acupuncture mechanisms has emerged as a hot topic in traditional Chinese medical neuroscience research. This review aimed to analyze the study design and main findings from neuroimaging studies of acupuncture-related therapy for KOA to provide a reference for future research. Original studies were sourced from English databases (PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library) and Chinese databases (Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chinese Biomedical Literature Database, the Chongqing VIP database, and Wanfang database). As a result, thirteen articles were ultimately included in this review. Functional magnetic resonance imaging was the most frequently used neuroimaging technique to explore cerebral responses to acupuncture-related therapy for KOA. Findings suggested that acupuncture-related therapy could regulate some brain regions in patients with KOA. Specifically, for acupuncture, it showed that the medial pain pathway and the limbic system were involved in the regulation of KOA. Meanwhile, moxibustion induced a wide range of functional activity throughout the entire brain.
