Written by over 60 scientists and clincicians from the United
States, mainland China, Germany, Australia, Japan, Sweden, Portugal
and Hong Kong, Current Research in Acupuncture discusses recent
advances in acupuncture research in a modern scientific language.
The first 5 chapters investigate the basic mechanisms of
acupuncture. Later chapters explore topics including acupuncture
treatment and potential mechanisms for epilepsy, Parkinson's
diseases, neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease,
vascular cognitive impairment, aging, anxiety, polycystic ovary
syndrome, pain, nerve root cervical spondylosis, stroke,
imflamation, myocardial ischemia and other cardiovascular diseases.
Following the translational and clinical discussions, 4 chapters
present new prospects for acupuncture theories and applications.
The final chapter comments on the pitfalls and problems of the
previous studies and suggests direction for future research towards
in-depth understanding of acupuncture, along with better
application of acupuncture in modern medicine. Each chapter is
written by one or more experts in the field. This unique book
provides a broad perspective on the principles of acupuncture for
acupuncture researchers and neuroscientists. The laboratory and
clinical investigations of various acupoints and optimal conditions
provide unique clues to acupuncturists for improved clinical
efficacy. For a medical student, this book is a modern course in
ancient Traditional Chinese Medicine, especially acupuncture. Ying
