Electroacupuncture (EA) is a form of acupuncture where a small electric current is passed between pairs of acupuncture needles. It has been studied for its potential therapeutic effects on various conditions, including organ damage, cognitive impairment, and obesity. This synthesis aims to present the key factors affecting the efficacy of electroacupuncture based on recent research findings.
Reduction of Inflammatory Response and Oxidative Stress:
Neuroprotection and Neurogenesis:
Metabolic Effects:
Electroacupuncture has demonstrated significant potential in reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, promoting neuroprotection and neurogenesis, and improving metabolic health. These effects are mediated through various signaling pathways, including p38 MAPK, NF-κB, BDNF, VEGF, and bFGF. The collective findings suggest that EA can be an effective therapeutic intervention for conditions involving organ damage, cognitive impairment, and obesity.
