peptides, glutamate, adenosine and identifying responsive parts in the central nervous system. In the last decade scientists began investigating the subject with anatomical and molecular imaging. It was found that mechanical movements of the needle, ignored in the past, appear to be central to the method and intracellular calcium ions may play a pivotal role. In this review, we trace the technique of clinical treatment from the first written record about 2,200 years ago to the modern time. The ancient texts have been used to introduce the concepts of yin, yang, qi, de qi, and meridians, the traditional foundation of acupuncture. We explore the sequence of the physiological process, from the turning of the needle, the mechanical wave activation of calcium ion channel to beta-endorphin secretion. By using modern terminology to re-interpret the ancient texts, we have found that the 2nd century b.c. physiologists were meticulous investigators and their explanation fits well with the mechanistic model derived from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and confocal microscopy. In conclusion, the ancient model appears to have withstood the test of time surprisingly well confirming the popular axiom that the old wine is better than the new.
1966:. It's good you found the talk page. There are things you need to learn quickly in order to function here, so here are some tips. Use talk pages. Every article and user page has one. Use the "watch" tab to place pages on your watchlist. Use your watchlist constantly. Use the "history" tab constantly, in fact use it before reading text or editing. Comments and revisions will occur in odd places, and you will not notice them if you don't carefully read the history. Also read the edit summaries, and always write some form of edit summary when you make any form of edit or comment, and always sign your comments with four tildes, but not your edits. When you make new comments or start a new section, they usually go at the bottom of the page. We work from top to bottom. Also use colons to indent your comments. To see how something was done, look at the code on a page when in the editing mode. That way you can learn how others do things. You can just look without making an edit. If you haven't saved yet, you can always "back out". That's the quickest way to learn. Then you can also ask other editors for help and advice. We're here to help you. -- 1508:
Meissner corpuscles, Krause corpuscles, lamellated corpuscles, and muscle spindle around the acupoints. The complexity of these tissues are presumed to be responsible for the acupuncture sensation at acupoints. Type II and III fibers of the afferent nerves may mediate the afferent transmission of the acupuncture signals. In the central nervous system (CNS), the spinal cord, brainstem, hypothalamus, thalamus, and cerebral cortex integrate the afferent signals of the acupuncture and form regulatory outputs via afferent pathways. In addition, there exists a strong relationship between the meridian-points and viscera in terms of nerve connection. The mechanism underlying the interaction between the meridian-points and viscera is related to the segmental innervations and convergence of the somatic and autonomic nerves at the same spinal segments. Although there have been numerous theories concerning meridians and points, we believe that the peripheral nervous system forms the main basis of acupoints as well as afferent and efferent pathways of the acupuncture signals.

biology and physiology. In short, we do not have to throw away the 2,500 years clinical ideas while preserving modern judgment based on scientific method and technology. The initial action of acupuncture appears to be mechanical and not neural or electrical. In any case, the mechanistic function provides a model to explain acupuncture. It can be applied to traditional Chinese acupuncture, Korean or Japanese acupuncture, and sham acupuncture with its measured effectiveness consistent with the observation of the ancient medical establishment. Separated from the central nervous system, we speculate that the mechanism introduces a separate channel of cellular communications with calcium waves playing the role of the second messenger. The mechanical wave, the acoustic shear wave and the calcium wave turn out to have come from the same source, and these different forms of waves appear ideally suited to describe what the ancient Chinese called “qi”, the mysterious, invisible, untranslatable and unknowable ingredient of life.

the needle being grasped by the tissue – a tug often described as akin to a fish biting on a line. Langevin grabbed headlines when, in 2001, the Journal of Applied Physiology published the results of a study in which she and her colleagues quantified de qi’s biomechanical component, or needle grasp, by measuring the force necessary to pull an acupuncture needle out of the skin. Her findings showed something else: Gently manipulating the needles back and forth or twisting them increased the grasp significantly. Since then, Langevin’s research has proved that the connective tissue that winds around acupuncture needles – much like spaghetti wadded around a fork – is responsible for needle grasp. Further study has revealed that needle manipulation transmits a signal to fibroblasts, the cells that make up such tissue, causing them to spread and flatten. "The needle is, in fact, stretching the tissue from the inside," Langevin explains. "The tissue is not just being pulled; it’s actively responding to the stimulus."
1579:"Of course, the existence of qi has never been demonstrated in any sort of scientifically acceptable manner and perhaps never will. Without being able to scientifically validate the existence of qi, the traditional rational for acupuncture and Chinese medicine will never receive modern science’s seal of approval no matter how many clinical trials show effectiveness in treating disease. The combination of mounting evidence of acupuncture’s clinical effectiveness together with an inability to scientifically validate its traditional rational has lead to a new and rapidly growing class of acupuncture supporter; those who acknowledge acupuncture’s clinical value while disavowing its traditional rational. This new breed of supporter is beginning to do more to undermine long-held notions about Chinese medicine than all the sceptics who doubted its effectiveness combined!" - Matthew Bauer 1630:"Dr. Mann is Founder and past President of the Medical Acupuncture Society (1959-1980) and was the first President of the British Medical Acupuncture Society (1980). Author of the first comprehensive English language acupuncture textbook “Acupuncture: The Ancient Chinese Art of Healing”, first published in 1962, as well as six other books on acupuncture. Following the numbering system developed by the French, Mann translated these terms into English which became the non-Chinese international system for identifying acupuncture points, i.e. “L.I.4” Dr. Mann has lectured in 15 countries and taught doctors from 45 countries. One of the West’s first proponents of traditional acupuncture,..." - Matthew Bauer 1566:
honest appraisal. Zhou, OTOH, is questionable in their over top claims which only believers would make. Textbooks don't back up those claims. I have studied anatomy three times in English ((college, Physician Assistant, Physical Therapist (two years of anatomy for the last)), and in Danish, Swedish, and German. Nowhere was there any mention of meridians or acupuncture points. Only in small textbooks for alternative medicine believers will one find them stated as if they actually existed, and other odd things are also stated as if they existed, but no mainstream textbook confirms these claims.
1588:"Traditional Chinese acupuncture is an archaic procedure of inserting needles through the skin over imaginary channels in accord with rules developed from pre-scientific superstition and numerological beliefs. New research has replaced this mystical sham medical procedure with a simple evidence-based no-needle treatment that stimulates motor points and nerve junctures and induces gene-expression of neurochemicals and activates brain areas important for healing. This is a scientifically based alternative to the previous metaphysical theories and magical rituals." - Dr. George Ulett 1560:, actually state an opinion contrary to the skeptical opinion, without any evidence accepted by mainstream scientists. I may well be wrong, but IIRC, their research is very flawed, possibly without any controls and comparisons with non-acupoint areas, making their blanket statements of hypotheses as absolute fact rather dubious, to say the least. There is no caution at all in their statement, unlike Bai, yet the rest of mainstream science is definitely not so certain, and we lack statements about any confirmed existence from non acupuncture-believer sources. 374: 1529:
the physical substrate represented by the meridians of TCM. Specifically, this hypothesis is supported by anatomical observations of body scan data demonstrating that the fascia network resembles the theoretical meridian system in salient ways, as well as physiological, histological, and clinical observations. This view represents a theoretical basis and means for applying modern biomedical research to examining TCM principles and therapies, and it favors a holistic approach to diagnosis and treatment.
1819:
health claims, scientific basis, and controversy is in other articles, where it belongs. Yes, a single sentence could be valuable to provide perspective concerning views of modern science and medicine, and controversy, so let's continue to pursue wording. I do not favor wording that emphasizes words like "existence" and "belief", since the TCM system exists and one does not have to adopt a belief in order to understand the system. The followng are possibilities for wording:
364: 343: 242: 701:. They are basically interchangeable, but I chose to use the traditional forms in constructing this list because that was how they were written when they were developed, and I thought they may be more commonly used abroad (where fewer people would have learned the simplified forms promulgated by the People's Republic of China). There are probably quite a few more variations like this in the list, as well; though many are the same too. 263: 473: 448: 1912:! I just found this page! Thank you SO much for your critical consideration here. I am brand new as an editor on Knowledge, though of course I've enjoyed and donated to it for years. I will just finish out the English translation of point names, which is what I was looking for in the first place, and point any interested parties to the research of Helene Langevin on physiological correlates. Thanks again. 192: 174: 1551:
without a discussion and agreement. Secondly, I am not against improvement in the wording. Nothing is set in stone. These wordings have been used on the various acupuncture articles as part of the requirements of NPOV. We can't let an article stand as a sales brochure stating only the POV of acupuncturists. Other POV exist in the scientific and scientific skeptic community, and they must also get their due.
102: 81: 1737:. I agree that is where discussion ultimately belongs. As for me, I can't participate sufficiently to do proper justice at this stage; but I can suggest wording for a consensus statement. I'm not keen on structuring this as scientific skeptic vs acupuncturist viewpoints, since most scientists and researchers, including those cited, use careful qualifiers. Let's start with something simple: 1796:
see the lead as the only place for other explanatory content, and the "disclaimer" (for lack of a better term) is a requirement of NPOV and FRINGE, that we can't let unproven claims just stand alone. It must be made clear to the reader that the content is disputed. With conspiracy theory articles there is always content which makes it clear to the reader that they are reading unproven ideas.

to do it. It would be more logical if we started a discussion at the main article, possibly as an RfC. The opinions of skeptical acupuncture researchers and scientific skeptics must be included, otherwise these articles state as blanket fact something that is definitely disputed. We can't leave them as sales brochures for acupuncture. So, shall we move this to

Conclusion: A crucial difference between the present and past interpretations is to examine acupuncture as a mechanical activation and signaling process. With this change, it appears all the ancient Chinese concepts can be re-interpreted and harmonized with the latest finding in medical imaging, cell

Since our various acupuncture articles are required by NPOV to include such POV, but the wording and sourcing varies from article to article, it would be nice to hammer out a consensus statement/disclaimer which could be used for all of them, using all the sources.

Hmm. I understand the view that a "disclaimer" is needed. I'm not sure I agree, given that the content is clearly identified as describing a TCM system; that as far as I can see there are no unproven claims (this article only describes a standard list of acupuncture points); and content concerning
1571:
What type of rewording would fit the first three sources best? There are other sources, which are not MEDRS compliant, which state clearly that belief in acupoints, meridians, and qi is pretty much delusional. They are the skeptical opinions of acupuncturists (!), and should be framed as such. Here

As far back as 300 BC, Chinese texts have described acupuncture and de qi, a reaction to the needling that’s thought to be important in achieving its therapeutic effect. During de qi, the patient usually experiences a slight ache in the area surrounding the needle, while the acupuncturist may feel

I am against discussing the locations of the points. Starting this will start to spoil up the list. There are different traditions of acupuncture and for some points varying locations. Discussing this won't fit a single line per point. Hence I would like to drop these.
1233:
Also this list will not provide any location information of the points. Hence there is no need to put an explanation of the cun/sunn measurement system here. This should be mentioned in an in depth description of e.g. acupuncture. So this paragraph will be removed too.
