“…However, most of the studies on electroacupuncture for stroke [ 23 – 25 ] have used methods based on the amplitude and power of the recorded EEG and do not involve the use of functional brain connectivity indicators to assess the brain activity of the subject. In the relevant animal studies, more attention has been paid to the feasibility basis of electroacupuncture for stroke treatment.…”

“…e subjects in the studies exploring the effects of acupuncture using indicators of functional brain connectivity were usually healthy subjects, which differed significantly from stroke subjects, and these studies were unable to account for the effects of electroacupuncture on the brain network of stroke patients. However, most of the studies on electroacupuncture for stroke [23][24][25] have used methods based on the amplitude and power of the recorded EEG and do not involve the use of functional brain connectivity indicators to assess the brain activity of the subject. In the relevant animal studies, more attention has been paid to the feasibility basis of electroacupuncture for stroke treatment.…”

“…e high temporal resolution of EEG makes it suitable to evaluate the effect of electroacupuncture in a short time. ere have also been several studies of electroacupuncture for stroke patients based on EEG [23][24][25]. However, most of the methods used in these EEG-based studies are to observe changes in the rhythm, amplitude, or power of the EEG.…”

Goal. Stroke patients are usually accompanied by motor dysfunction, which greatly affects daily life. Electroacupuncture is a kind of nondrug therapy that can effectively improve motor function. However, the effect of electroacupuncture is hard to be measured immediately in clinic. This paper is aimed to reveal the instant changes in brain activity of three groups of stroke patients before, during, and after the electroacupuncture treatment by the EEG analysis in the alpha band and beta band. Methods. Seven different functional connectivity indicators including Pearson correlation coefficient, spectral coherence, mutual information, phase locking value, phase lag index, partial directed coherence, and directed transfer function were used to build the BCI-based brain network in stroke patients. Results and Conclusion. The results showed that the brain activity based on the alpha band of EEG decreased after the electroacupuncture treatment, while in the beta band of EEG, the brain activity decreased only in the first two groups. Significance. This method could be used to evaluate the effect of electroacupuncture instantly and quantitatively. The study will hopefully provide some neurophysiological evidence of the relationship between changes in brain activity and the effects of electroacupuncture. The study of BCI-based brain network changes in the alpha and beta bands before, during, and after electroacupuncture in stroke patients of different periods is helpful in adjusting and selecting the electroacupuncture regimens for different patients. The trial was registered on the Chinese clinical trial registry (ChiCTR2000036959).

“…A number of studies have con rmed the central nervous system (CNS) plays a primary role in acupuncture effect [8][9][10] . Similar to other studies on brain function, neuroimaging technologies have been extensively employed into this area, such as functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) [11,12] , Positron Emission Tomography (PET) [13] , electroencephalography (EEG) [14] , and magnetoencephalography (MEG) [15] . A study has shown that fMRI and PET/PET-CT are the two most commonly used methods [16] .…”

Background: Acupuncture is a widely used alternative and complementary therapy. Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) is an important technique to explore the underlying mechanism of acupuncture, and the task-based fMRI can reflect the instant effects or sustained effects of acupuncture in the brain. This scoping review aims to summarize the characteristics of acupuncture mechanism studies employing Task-based fMRI and conclude a reference for future studies.Methods/design: This review will follow the Guidance for Conducting Systematic Scoping Reviews. Eligible articles will be collected from 6 databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, CNKI, WanFang and VIP) with the related keywords such as “Acupuncture” and “fMRI” and those articles should be published from the establishment of the database to June 30th, 2020. Each research step will involve at least two reviewers. The PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systemic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Extension for Scoping Reviews) will be used to organize the review.Discussion: This review aims to clarify the extent of acupuncture mechanism studies employing task-based fMRI. It is supposed to make a critical evaluation or to propose quality requirements for future studies by summarizing the objectives and designs of eligible studies. What’s more, directional suggestions will be provided for further studies.Scoping review registration: Open Science Framework https://osf.io/zjrdc/.

Parkinson’s disease anxiety (PDA) is a nonmotor symptom of Parkinson’s disease (PD) that is often neglected. PDA poses a far-reaching challenge to the treatment of PD. Acupuncture could be successful in the treatment of PDA. However, the evidence for this is still limited. We propose a two-stage clinical trial. In stage 1, a total of 70 volunteers with PDA will be randomly assigned to either acupuncture (manual acupuncture) or control group (sham acupuncture) in a 1 : 1 ratio. Treatments will be performed for four weeks. The change in the Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety (HAMA) score from baseline to week 4 and week 12 will be the primary outcome. The levels of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), cortisol (CORT), serotonin (5-HT), and corticotropin-releasing factor (CRH) in the patients’ serum and the scores on the Hoehn–Yahr Rating Scale and the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) will all be considered among the secondary outcomes. Participants will be followed up until week 12. In stage 2, a total of 82 volunteers with PDA will be randomly assigned to either an acupuncture (manual acupuncture) or a control group (anti-Parkinson drugs only) in a 1 : 1 ratio. HAMA score will be the primary outcome. Universality, feasibility and cost effectiveness, Hoehn–Yahr Rating Scale, UPDRS, and serological indicators will be secondary outcomes. Participants will be followed up until week 4. The statistical analysis will include all the allocated individuals. The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine’s Research Ethical Committee authorized this procedure, and the trial is registered with ChiCTR2100047253.
