Investigation 2: P50 potential amplitude after electroacupuncture at a low frequency (5Hz). P50 potential amplitude, normalized, was recorded at baseline (control [CTL]=100%) and every 6 to 7 minutes thereafter for a total of 8 repeated measures. The amplitude of the P50 potential was reduced significantly at S2, S3, P3, and P4 (1-way ANOVA, *P<.05; †P<.01). Abbreviation: Pts, points.

Investigation 4: P50 potential amplitude after electroacupuncture at a high frequency (100Hz). Three P50 potential averages (S1, S2, S3) were recorded. Repeated-measures 2-way ANOVA revealed that the amplitude did not differ significantly for the repeated measures (F7,1=1.877, P=.076). However, post hoc testing revealed that P50 potential amplitude was significantly reduced at 1 point (S2*) during stimulation (Newman-Keuls, P<.05). The same measures as in the stimulated group were recorded every 6 minutes for a no-stimulation group with surface electrodes but without electroacupuncture stimulation. The difference between the 2 groups was not statistically significant (repeated-measures 1-way ANOVA, F7,22=3.274; Newman-Keuls, P=.084). Abbreviation: NS, not significant.

Investigation 5: P50 potential amplitude after electroacupuncture at 3 control points versus electroacupuncture at 3 specific points. Subjects received 5-Hz electroacupuncture stimulation to 3 control points (GB34, LI11, SI3). S1, S2, and S3 are the 3 P50 potential averages. PS1-PS4 were made after stimulation. The same measures were recorded every 6 minutes for the 3 specific points group with 5-Hz electroacupuncture stimulation.

Investigation 6: P50 potential amplitude after electroacupuncture at 3 specific points unilaterally versus bilaterally. Subjects (n=7) received 5-Hz electroacupuncture stimulation unilaterally via surface electrodes on the 3 specific acupuncture points. Three P50 potential averages were recorded: S1, S2, and S3. Four additional averages (P1-P4) were recorded after stimulation. The same measures as in the unilateral group were recorded every 6 minutes for the bilateral group stimulated at 5Hz.
