چکیده
Blood pressure is mainly modulated by the autonomic nervous system. Previous reports suggest acupuncture can affect the autonomic nervous system 1,6) . Especially, the Shen-Men (He-7) and Nei-Kuan (EH-6) acupoints are known to increase parasympathetic nervous activity 7,9) . This means that acupuncture on those acupoints can lead to reduction of blood pressure. In this study, on the assumption of traditional oriental medical theory, we evaluated the effect of tonification/sedation-manipulative acupuncture on the inhibitory effects of Shen-Men and Nei-Kuan on sympathetic activity by monitoring blood pressure.
